1,700 UK scientists back climate science. The fact that one of the lead climate science institutes in the world was caught apparently colluding to cooking the books on Global Warming is irrelevant say 1,700 UK scientists. All I can say is 😮 WOW 😮 I get that they can still think the science is right, but to say that the hacked emails dont point to something fishy just bowls me over. Whose head is in the sand?
It would not surprise me if there were arm-twisting going on. That happens anywhere when orthodoxy is challenged and feels under threat. That is what happened to Galileo and why Copernicus waited to publish until after his death, both challenged the prevailing orthodoxy.
The AP has now weighed in: Science not faked, but not pretty. And the story begins its slide into obscurity as the media has mostly mocked it as being nothing. What if the shoe were on the other foot? How much media play would a story like this get if those caught were GW deniers? ???
The flap would not end until everyone that knew anything, what they knew, and when they knew it became plastered on every paper, mag, and news show, anywhere.

My assessment as well. This however, is a story they want to die.
