The Calgary-based industry front group Friends of Science (FOS), moribund since a Globe and Mail story revealed last year that FOS funding came largely from the oil and gas industry, has resurfaced promoting an "annual luncheon " at which Carleton Professor Tim Patterson will offer a lecture entitled "The Sun as the Primary Driver of Climate Change?"

If any DSBlog readers attend, please ask Dr. Patterson why all his solar forcing graphs end in 1980. (See next post for the answer.)
