Back in February, Pat Michaels dropped something of a bombshell. It was an exposé of the Achilles heel of alarmist climate science.

Get ready. You’re about to meet “the most important figure you’ve never heard of.” SCC. No, not SEC—Securities and Exchange Commission. (And you sports fans thought that was Southeastern Conference!)
