WASHINGTON – A prominent physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.

2. But....

But today The Mail on Sunday can reveal that a leading member of Prof Muller’s team has accused him of trying to mislead the public by hiding the fact that BEST’s research shows global warming has stopped.

Prof Judith Curry, who chairs the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at America’s prestigious Georgia Institute of Technology, said that Prof Muller’s claim that he has proven global warming sceptics wrong was also a ‘huge mistake’, with no scientific basis.

Prof Curry is a distinguished climate researcher with more than 30 years experience and the second named co-author of the BEST project’s four research papers.

Her comments, in an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, seem certain to ignite a furious academic row. She said this affair had to be compared to the notorious ‘Climategate’ scandal two years ago.

5. The very definition of 'Skeptic'.

If you're skeptical about something, you want to know what's really going on. You do your own, objective research. You then get a result that either confirms your skepticisms or proves it unfounded.
Then you adjust your view accordingly.
Being a 'skeptic' is what Science is all about and BEST is a prime example.

Sadly, nowadays it has become a synonym for denialism.

6. Facts have only a liberal bias because conservatives pollute the population with lies.

This is why a truly objective news organization seems to many to have a liberal bias.
