Yes. Did you not you read the story?


"another e-mail refers to an attempt to keep inconvenient scientific findings out of a UN report: "I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. K and I will keep them out somehow-even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!" Think of all of this the next time you hear someone invoke the authority of peer review-or of the UN's IPCC reports-as backing for claims about global warming.

This scandal goes beyond scientific journals and into other media used to promote the global warming dogma. For example, RealClimate.org has been billed as an objective website at which global warming activists and skeptics can engage in an impartial debate. But in the CRU e-mails, the global warming establishment boasts that RealClimate is in their pocket.

I wanted you guys to know that you're free to use RC in any way you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through.... We can hold comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you'd like us to include.

[T]hink of RC as a resource that is at your disposal.... We'll use our best discretion to make sure the skeptics don't get to use the RC comments as a megaphone.

And anyone doubting that the mainstream media is in on it, too, should check out New York Times reporter Andrew Revkin's toadying apologia for the CRU e-mails, masquerading as a news report."

If not, then all this story is, is a case of a hacking and small group of corrupt scientists. Is that really newsworthy?
Are you serious? If these scientists have manipulated, manufactured, or omitted contrary data to convince the world there is an irrefutable man made global warming crisis, we are talking about a multi billion dollar fraud.

Some how though, I see this story getting about as much attention from the left and their ever loyal liberal media, as the 23 billion dollar "Oil for food" scandal did.

Sorry, but to believe the overwhelming majority of scientists are making GW up for whatever reason, automatically puts said person in the same league with 9/11 conspiracy theorists, birthers, young earthers and non-moon landers.

Yup... thats it... We are all just a bunch of conspiracy freaks.

If that makes you feel better, and helps you to pretend this story isn't really worth reporting on, then go for it... It's what I expect from people like you anyway.

Fox is the only true cable news network.

Ignoring the fact that this is not true, what does it have anything to do with the topic of this thread?

You can't say they aren't real. Even an official at the place where the emails originated confirmed they were hacked and that the emails appear genuine.

It's real, people. Global warming might not be, but this scandal sure is.

Re: ClimateGate Totally Ignored By TV News Outlets Except Fox

You all want a laugh?

The Houston Chronicle is also one of liberal media outlets that chose to ignore this scandal... but they took it a step further. They actually had the arrogance to publish a story Sunday titled "Hot times - As a crucial climate change conference nears, more evidence of a warming globe". Can you believe it?

Well, their readers were not amused, and let them know exactly how they felt about their BS. So if you want a good laugh, check out the comments below the story.
