Shame on the "lame stream media" for downplaying the significance of the "hacked" e-mails at the East Anglia Hadley Research Unit (CRU), now known as "Climategate"...  Nowhere in any of their reporting have they mentioned all the information was actually "provided" to the BBC News which then sat on this very damning information for over a month... (tThat sounds more like some one blew a whistle, no?) In any event it does appear the major news outlets have been whisltling past the graveyard on this one, hoping against hope this story would go away.

(Note to the reader )
When a story becomes big enough to have the Nixonian term "gate" attached as a suffix , you know it's a huge story. When that term has been in play for several weeks & you're just now reading about it in your local liberal newspaper, it's a safe bet the news doesn't reflect well on Progressive Democrats; such is the case with Climategate.
 
For years climate skeptics have been alleging that alarmists in the agenda driven liberal media outlets like the Uber Greenies at the Standard Times, have been doing everything within their power to destroy the credibility of the man made climate change nay sayers & to little surprise most of the climategate reporting so far fits that template... The bulk of the reporting to date has assumed the spin that Climategate is a nothing more than a few scientists trying to protect their research... All the while urging us to-- as South Park's Officer Barbrady would say, " Move along people there's nothing to see here."
 
The fact that Dr. Phil Jones the Head of the CRU has been forced to step down pending investigation or that members of the British Parliament are calling for inquiries rebuts this notion of course; but how's anyone to know what takes place across the pond if it's not reported here in the States?

 It now appears Al Gore may have stretched the truth a "wee" bit on mans role in climate change.  
 
To think had Mr. Gore not invented the internet in the late eighties I'd most likely still be in the dark on climategate. (That's Irony so delicious Oh Henry couldn't think it up)
 
Seriously though, since we now know quite a bit of conflicting data was destroyed by Dr Jones & his alarmist co-conspirators around the world, it is clear we must re-evaluate all of the undestroyed data as well as the "science" that has been driving the narrative of this issue for well over a decade... Perhaps some honest peer review will lead to finally having the proper debate this estimated 146 trillion dollar economic issue deserves...  After all, i n truth, we have never had an honest debate on this subject; a fact even avowed lefty's like Mr. Obama's FCC Diversity Chief Marc Lloyd smugly admitted in his remarks at the National Conference On Media Reform in 2008...

Look I don't claim to know what the truth really is when it comes to man made climate change & this scandal proves the scientists can't prove their theory...  So given the global ramifications of impending legislation in several countries, this one included, we owe it to posterity to clear this matter up before we proceed with the most massive overhaul of the global economy since the industrial revolution began.

  At the very least a few scientists were over zealous in protecting their intellectual property... At worst this is a scientific scandal of unequalled proportion which was promoted to assist in the greatest financial fraud ever perpetrated against mankind...  Either way the questions must be answered before we spend another dime of our national treasure to stave off the effects of "man made" Climate Change.
