Jones' e-mail about Mann's "trick" appears to indicate that climate researchers have been actively manipulating scientific data to better fit their models on climate change, while other e-mails seemingly confirm what skeptics had long suspected - that the globe in recent years wasn't warming as fast as theories on climate change had assumed. Most of all, the tone of the CRU e-mails suggests that climate scientists are mired in groupthink, utterly resistant to skeptical viewpoints and willing to use pressure to silence dissenters of the global-warming...
...entry to the gallery in Florence that houses Michelangelo's David. Anything but cheesy, the tours emphasize culture and environment, with activities like architectural tours of Paris' Notre Dame cathedral and expert-led hikes to track wolves in Alaska. The itineraries are an educational way to show kids the globe--beyond another lap on It's a Small World...

In a great race to the bottom of the world, ships from Russia, Britain and the U.S. all spotted the landmass within months of one another in 1820. The first explorer to discover Antarctica is widely believed to have been Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, whose expedition first spotted land in January 1820. But further...
