One of the most notorious of the East Anglia Climate e-mails was written by Dr. Ben Santer, wherein he mused that he sometimes harbored the desire to "beat the crap out of Pat Michaels" - a well known shill for the fossil fuel industry.
In November, 2010, the two men shared a witness table in testimony before the Congressional Science and Technology Committee.
Did Ben Santer finally beat the crap out of Pat Michaels?
You decide.

2. this one is geekier than my usual vids

but if you go over and read the comments on the youtube post, it's clear there are
a number of folks enjoying this enormously.


in a nutshell.
Pat Michaels is an Oil company shill.
He made a presentation to congress that included several distortions and
omissions.
He was called out in the clearest of terms by Ben Santer, one of the good guys.
It's a classic moment, and since it was buried in the c-span stream, I
thought it would be worthwhile to bring it out and highlight it.
