Why is no one talking about global darkening? It’s a little after 6:30am where I’m typing this, and the world is enshrouded in darkness. Oh wait—it’s starting to get light again. False alarm.

Meet the real counterpart to “Nate”, Anthony Watts, a very brainy, tireless meteorologist turned award-winning journalist, who has turned the tide on climate alarmism propaganda, in spite of receiving no funding from “Big Oil” (who mostly suck up to the climate alarmists and other “politically correct” ideologies these days).http://wattsupwiththat.com/
