    <blockquote><font size="-1">As a result of human activities,
        primarily the burning of fossil fuels, the planet is warming.
        Those who deny this fact have pointed to a supposed "pause" in
        warming to justify opposition to climate action.<br>
        In 2015, a study led by NOAA’s Tom Karl was published in Science
        that flatly refuted the idea of a "pause." It is one of many.
        But its high profile made it a target for attack.<br>
        On Saturday 4 February, a feature in the UK's Mail on Sunday by
        David Rose makes outrageous claims that were already disproven
        as the paper version hit stands, and that he has already had to
        in part correct. Rose, who has a history of inaccurate
        reporting, spins a scandal out of a letter by a former NOAA
        employee published on a climate change denial blog. The letter
        makes accusations of wrongdoing in the methodology and data
        archiving procedures used in the study. These accusations have
        already been shown to be faulty. Even if they were true, the
        implications have been blown out of proportion by Rose.<br>
        Rebuttals were published in record time, as within minutes there
        was a tweet describing the story as "so wrong its hard to know
        where to start": ...<br>
