Kun-Kun,

Your original post doesn't sound like something
a person would just write and post to Usenet.  In fact,
a simple Google reveals that you cut-and-pasted it
from http://www.co2science.org/
, which is a step up
from stealing your material from couplescompany.com,
though it's just a slickly designed climate
disinformation website.  Most people agree there was
a Medieval Warm Period, they just don't agree that it
means what "co2science.org" wants it to mean.

Still, not quoting and naming your sources is plagiarism
by most university standards.  I'm afraid I'm going to
have to give you zero credit for your term paper and
you're going to fail the class.  But I don't think this
case rises to the level of re****ting as an honor code
violation, so the Dean and I have agreed that you
can stay enrolled for the fall semester.  I'm going to
recommend that you try "Rocks for Jocks" rather than
taking Professor Asher's earth sciences class for
your distribution requirement, though.
