SO MUCH FOR THE CLIMATE DENIALISTS

(h/t Memeo)

Edward Wegman of George Mason University did a study of climate science that was very critical of the research and even charged some climate scientists with plagiarism.  USA Today reports that Wegman's study itself contains plagiarized material and has a faulty analysis of social networks.  It is being withdrawn from publication.  Wegman blames one of his graduate students but the student was not listed as one of the authors. 

This may be mere coincidence but George Mason is also home to a Koch-funded think tank, the Mercatus Center.
