In my Sunday Examiner column, I took a look at the scandalous emails, hacked from the Climate Research Unit site at the University of East Anglia, which grievously undermine the global warming alarmists’ narrative.

Making public policy—and policy that could impose huge costs on our economy and those of all advanced nations—on the basis of such flawed data is madness.
