Climate change: This is the Worst Scientific Scandal of our Generations
George Monbiot: Pretending the climate email leak isn't a crisis won't make it go away
Examiner: CRU to Release Data
The data that wasn't deleted, I assume.
The stupidest commercial I have seen in a long time:
I mean... Hopenhagen? WTF?
ETA: This just reminds me how much I love Jim Treacher.

The emails are salacious, gossipy fun. But the meat of the matter is the code.
I don't code. I know nothing about Fortran. But I've spent a good bit of time talking with people who know Fortran this week- people who don't have a dog in this fight and don't give a damn about what happens in Copenhagen. To a man, they're all in agreement that the code in the Harry_Read_Me file is utter garbage. It generates particular answers because of the tweaks built into it; you could load any numbers you want to and still get results that say we're warming. It's a scam. Now, the question is, did the scientists involved KNOW they were generating fake results? Or were they so ignorant about the programming that they didn't even know their results were bogus?

Science ceases to be science when you stop using your data to inform your hypotheses and start molding your data to FIT your hypotheses. I think there's a good chance that this is what was happening in the case of CRU.

The onus isn't on us to prove it DOESN'T exist
