Climategate.

This blog sometimes posts pieces that I do not agree with. What I have to say is important to me or I would not be keep saying it. However, it is not more important to me than those who comment having a conversation or mixing it up (an argument is usually my personal preference.).

That said, regular Zombiehero's piece on "climategate" fits the L.R. bill. He gave me permission to cross post it - but up thinking about that - why not GO THERE - and read it. He works hard on his blog. Also, I don't disagree with ZH's thoughts on this topic. I'm ambivalent about the disclosure of the University of East Anglia emails so far. But many are not.

From his post:
Much to the chagrin to the alarmist side of the debate, there is no "consensus." The debate is far from "over." These series of email show how some reportedly "reputable" scientists have been doing not so scientific things to the data. They have been hiding data, messaging data, threatening journals not to publish contrarian views and much much more.
