Combined with the “fishy e-mail” snitching request on the White House blog — a request of dubious legality and unquestionable bad taste — there are more images and videos coming out of the woodwork.

MORNING LINKS — such as they are ITEM: Warmists are realizing that when you’re losing the data debate, the  scientific debate and the popular debate — you should just change the terms of the debate!
