One recent Web column even put words in my mouth. I have never said that “the unexpected colder climate in Antarctica may possibly be signaling a lessening of the current global warming cycle.” I have never thought such a thing either.As Doran details on his personal Web page, this quote comes from an article by Cliff Harris of Coeur d'Alene Press, "Weather Gems: The current cycle of global warming may have peaked!"
Where did Harris get this quote from? That's a good question. I have a message in to him (CliffHarris@longrangeweather.com) with a Cc to his managing editor, Mike Patrick of Coeur d'Alene Press. I'll report what he has to say -- if anything.
Harris says he's been rated one of the top ten climatologists in the world for nearly 4 decades. He doesn't say who did the rating. Maybe I'll ask him. He also says he operates a weather station in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and is the exclusive climatologist for the Coeur d'Alene Press. Sounds like quite a gig.

Amazingly, in the comments on the Couer d'Alene press piece, Dolan asks for a correction. He seems to have been ignored by one of the to 10 climatologists in the world.
I must say this is rather odd. The Couer d'Alene Press wasn't the place where I expected that quote to come from. And the fact he doesn't attribute it is suspicious. Remember, this is Inhofe country, and his politics are a good match for many parts of the state.
