Apparently, a good case for man-made global warming in New Zealand can be made through making changes in the original data.

See the criticism in this report: “Are we feeling warmer yet?” The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, November 25, 2009.

There is very little from television news and the White House about Climategate. Glenn Beck has maintained that Fox News has been the only major TV source offering coverage of Climategate.

As Pflugerville continues to grow, some say that future developments should be smart growth developments so that a contribution could be made toward controlling global warming. But what if the man-made portion of global warming is not really a serious problem?
