Climate change skeptic cited by Cuccinelli is under investigation
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/virginiapolitics/2010/10/gmu_investigating_climate_chan.html

A leading skeptic of climate change science whose work was cited last week by Virginia Attorney Gen. Ken Cuccinelli is himself under investigation on charges that his work contained plagiarism and inaccuracies, a George Mason University spokesman confirmed Friday.

The investigation was first reported by USA Today, which quoted GMU statistics professor Edward Wegman as saying he knew of the investigation but he had been asked not to comment about it by the university.

Wegman headed up a 2006 congressional committee that reported problems with scientific research that showed the earth has experience rapid, recent warming, notably a 1999 paper by then-University of Virginia professor Michael Mann.

2. Cooch has yet to utter a word on this to the press.
He's barking up the wrong scientist...
