What's the DeSmogBlog to do with a climate change denier like Dr. Paul Reiter? Even though he keeps questionable company - hanging out with industry front groups and scientists of less impressive credentials - he may be sincere in his convictions. Should that be compelling?

The National Post's Denier king Larry Solomon is once more inventing climate change denial where there is none - once more straining a thin thread of "science" well past the breaking point in an effort to argue that the sun, rather than CO2, is the major cause of global warming.

Per an earlier post, the National Post recently defamed the renowned astrophysicist Dr. Nigel Weiss with an article lumping him in with a group of climate change “deniers.” Now Post columnist Lawrence Solomon (left) has redoubled the damage by repeating the libel in print and by writing an argumentative email in response to Dr. Weiss own letter of complaint.

For the third time, at least, the National Post has painted a respected international academic as a climate change "denier," regardless that the scientist is no such thing.
