Gene,
    You forgot and included the stars at the start and end of the URL, if
you click on the link as you posted it, it comes up with "sorry, can't find
the page."  Remove the stars and it works.
    Wonderful to see the great scientific expertise of a group of lawyers
(check the page on "about us" on this website.  Also great to see the home
page and the articles like "Jesus Christ, Climate Scientist" and other
political stories that show no sign of political bias.
     Yes, political websites are the best place to get climate denial
messages, I mean "climate science."  I guess the authors are experts on
massaging data, since that's what climate deniers specialize in.  Clearly,
if the data were changed for Maine, that means that the world data is all
wrong!!  And particularly, with the example of the record for
Lewiston-Auburn (presumably a tiny hamlet in Maine) showing a downward
trend in temperature in the last few years, that is ironclad proof that the
world is actually cooling and that NOAA just manipulated the data to make
it look like the world was warming.
      I wonder why the authors haven't published in a peer-reviewed climate
science journal???  I'm sure they have an article in press right now.

Cheers,  Doug

"belief in climate change is optional, participation is not."

Much-touted global warming pause never happened.

Has global warming taken a rest?  Not so fast, study suggests.  (check out
the graph)

Climate change deniers love to talk about a recent "pause" in global
warming.  A new study says it didn't happen.
