Thanks to alert reader Cedric, we now have a confession form David Thorpe that he was , indeed, the person who intentionally put up the fraudulent GEOCLIMATICSTUDIES.INFO website, that he did so with the intent of trying to discredit people he disagrees with and one other very, very important thing for the media to remember.He lies to reporters. Intentionally and directly to their faces.The resort to hoaxing does not argue that proponents of global warming theory are very confident of their own scientific grounding.
