A few thoughts on Climategate (D Amon)

is dropping but even 30% seems too low.

I have waited awhile to chuck my tuppence into the 'Climategate' ring
as I am not a true believer and have preferred to see how things
played out over time. I personally favour the hypothesis that humans
are causing some climatic effects but I do not believe the evidence
is sufficient to prove my opinion correct. I have an open mind
towards those who are weakly opposed, which is to say those who are
waiting on data to prove me wrong. If one were to place my opinions
on a dartboard, I would fall pretty close to the one labeled Bjorn
Lomborg. I am far more worried about the collateral damage the CRU
researchers
have caused. Their machinations, exposed by these 'Pentagon Papers'
of the oughties, is damning and damaging to public trust in science.
It opens the door to all sorts of pseudo-science by making their
expositors appear superficially to be as trustworthy as the real
thing. This is bad. This is very bad.
'Climategate' is not the first case of serious scientific fraud
Still zero scientific fraud from CRU hack.
