| Soriku said: So this is saying global warming doesn't exist/is exaggerated? If so, I already knew it all along. Hell this is probably the worst evidence ever, but last year it was super cold and even in June it was cold and the temperature just went up and down from really cold (when it comes to June standards at the very least) to normal randomly. I did a report on global warming last year and all the things I've read just don't give the global warming theory a whole lot of plausibility. |
No, this shows that several major players in pushing the AGW theory have engaged in at best unethical and at worst illegal activities in their efforts to avoid FOI requests and possibly in regards to some of the work they have done.
The correct conclusion, imho, is that climate science needs to be thoroughly rechecked under a new 100% transparent process that adheres to and supports the adverserial process of the Scientific Method as its most fundamental principle. Or in other words what people were told was going on before these e-mails came to light.
With that said, the impact of this leak will continue to be felt for quite a while as new information is discovered and newly available data and code is finally subject to critique.
Additionally, if the information was actually stolen and not carelessly leaked (as has happened with FTP sites in the past) then there should also be consequences for the individual who perpetrated the act. Well intentioned or not, it is a crime and it shouldn't be ignored.
