Temperature doesn't exist

Paul Georgia, in his summary of Taken by Storm gets numerous basic physics facts wrong, including claiming that temperature is not a physical quantity.

Tim Lambert debunks his claims in detail in Tech Central Station flunks Physics.

State of the Congress resolution

Paul Georgia was author of the Republican Policy committee's attack on the Climate Change Sense of the Congress Resolution.

Harvard Physicist John Holdren debunked his attack, calling it "loaded with misleading assertions, misrepresentations, and misunderstandings ... not only inconsistent with the best current scientific understanding and with elementary logic; they are also inconsistent with many of the Bush Administration's own statements on the issue."
