   Monbiot goes state-side8 May 07
A few months ago we reported an exclusive story here on DeSmogBlog about the troubles renowned UK columnist and author, George Monbiot, was having with finding a publisher to launch his book Heat in the United States. Monbiot told us at the time that U.S. editors had all said a version of the same thing: "Americans aren’t ready for it." Well it looks like South End Press, a publisher with a penchant for provocative literature, has decided that the American public is "ready." Monbiot's book is now available in the US. |

The exact opposite occurred. |

 Deniers "cock a hoop" over latest junk science14 Nov 06
Monbiot's column in the Gaurdian today lays out nicely just how far the climate change deniers are willing to stretch their definition of "sound science." Junk scientists and their cadre of misfits gleefully filled Monbiots inbox with messages like "your scam exposed" and "how do you feel now asshole." Unfortunately, the only scam to expose is the information climate change deniers pawn off as science.
