Vatican’s secrecy over environmental encyclical may have diminished its value

By /

The Associated Press reports that Vatican officials are very upset over the leak of a draft of the much-anticipated papal encyclical on the environment yesterday.

In an article titled “The ‘Trick’ to Controlling the Climate Agenda,” energy physicist Michael W. Brakey accuses the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of systematically falsifying historical temperature data to create the appearance of more warming than has actually happened. His argument: NOAA has applied an algorithm (a bit of computer code that applies itself
