The 2013 Boston Globe Version of Willie Soon's Public Flogging

HT to R. Pielke Jr. Here's story in 2013
Boston Globe

Meanwhile, the line I like best from Science Mag is:
"The New York Times and other outlets reported that Soon has received extensive financial support over the past decade from fossil fuel companies and others opposed to government regulation of greenhouse gas emissions."

Is it a crime against humanity to oppose a government policy - especially one that will have a huge effect on our economic sustainability - global catastrophe or not?

Meanwhile, if I understand it properly, the Smithsonian's position is that they hired Willie Soon to do a study that proved that the Sun had no effect on climate. And they were shocked, I tell, you, shocked that he falsely reported something else!

Sounds like pure science to me.
