The correspondence I have received on Climategate -- the leak two weeks ago of emails and computer files from Britain's Climate Research Unit (CRU) that show global warming to be grossly misrepresented, if not an out-and-out fraud -- can essentially be sorted into two categories: "Why isn't this a bigger story?" or "Why does this matter?"
This should be a bigger story, because it matters a great deal.
The American and British scientists who control much of the UN's climate reporting through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)have been caught manipulating the temperature records to make the 20th century appear warmer than it was (and preceding centuries cooler), leaving an exaggerated impression about how unique and dangerous our current climate is.
They were also shown doing their level best to control the peer-review process at major scientific journals so those who disagreed with them were silenced. Countless times in the past decade, scientists skeptical about the man-made global warming theory have been scoffed at because their work does not appear in publications that ask other scientists to vet the credibility of articles in advance. Now we know why. FULL ARTICLE
