Climate Change Denialists vs. SCIENCE — Science Wins!
One of the key papers trying to debunk the work of Climate Change scientists (the so-called Hockey Stick controversy) by Edward Wegman at GMU (paid for by your tax dollars) has been retracted by the journal it was published in due to plagiarism.
