Climategate was a crime. Someone stole private emails and that same person or someone else published them completely out of context in order to frame scientists. Even the non-bought press, looking into the matter a little bit, could see that was the case.

Unfortunately.

Climategate was when someone stole private emails and took bits and pieces out of context in an attempt to say things that simply weren’t said in the emails. Multiple high level investigations found that climategate was a piece of crap.

“There are scientists who believe that global warming is not man caused and is but a part of the natural cycle of the earth”

There are basically no climate scientists who believe that global warming is part of a natural science. There are millions of people who call themselves scientists but simply because they know something about earthworms or metal alloys does not mean that they know jack about climate science.

If you think money is playing a role in the game, look to the Koch brothers and fossil fuel industry.

I’m guessing that you get your “science” from Fox. Someone has fed you a bunch of BS.

Are you perhaps aware that people who get their news from Fox are less informed that people who watch other news sources? I’ll give you a link to the article at Forbes – a very conservative, business/financial publication.

If you’re interested in knowing what is happening in the world you might want to turn off the Fox. It will rot your brain….

Gotta go with scientists. Any day. They are the smart kids in the classroom that you tried to get to do your homework. And they, unlike news reporters, corporate executives, and other folks actually get fired for lying.

Where is the evidence that the basic theory is weak? Are challenging the ‘greenhouse’ gas theory? Are you challenging the mass balance argument and isotope studies that support the “A” in AGW? Where does the theory weaken for you?

People, if you haven’t looked at the actual science or the summary of that science created by the 600+ unpaid scientists of the IPCC, then watch out. Watts, Heartland, SPPI, and the other doubt generators think you’re stupid. They rely on it.

These people have a reason for not wanting to believe in Global Warming i.e. 1) they or their relatives are connected to the Coal, Gas or Oil Industries and need the money 2) they live in a state where tax revenues depend on the Coal, Gas or Oil industries 3) they have other reasons (e.g. anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-Arab, anti-taxes, pro-military) for following the Republican line which includes anti-science on Global Warming.

So Rupert Murdock tells them what they want to hear and these news outlets find a market.

The only “agenda” here is getting the actual facts and truth out, and holding news media orgs accountable for doing so!

“… Devise means for turning research applications away from the present emphasis on military technology toward the solution of pressing environmental and social problems.”

There are many questions concerning the human pact on global warming and the progressive instance on blaming humanity with very little actual scientific proof feels enough like a hoax to call it such.

The truth is, the science of climate change is in its infancy and making major governmental policies based on the relatively pweak hypotheses developed to date is foolishness in the extreme. There is little doubt that the unintended consequences could be significantly worse than the “worst case scenario” presented by the United Nations.
