The Collapse of Scientific Authority -- Climate Change Fraud

As I have expected, evidence now comes to light that "scientists" have been faking global warming data.

Read about it here.

Back when I was in the game they used to talk about "massaging" the data to achieve the desired results.

UPDATE:

The Anchoress has a lot of links on the climate change fraud. She points out that President Bush, unlike his critics, was able to see through the fraud and resist immense pressures to go along to get along. Read her here.

UPDATE:

John Hindraker over at Powerline has been reading the documents and notes that they reveal not only a willingness to massage data, but a fanatic "bunker" mentality among the leading lights of the warmist community and an ideological affiliation with the hard left. These people, he argues, are doing politics, not science. It's not just a case of their professional reputations and funding being at stake (although that certainly is the case), they are also true believers. Read it here.

UPDATE:

James Delingpole, writing in the Telegraph, calls this the "greatest scandal in modern science", an notes that the MSM is desperately trying to ignore or minimize the impact of the story [here].

UPDATE:

Great summary of the incriminating e-mails at Bishop Hill Blog here. This stuff is really damning.

UPDATE:

For up-to-the-minute coverage of this emergent scandal check out Climate Depot here. There is definitely blood in the water.
