Count on the MSM to overlook the obvious.

alleged that the real victims in this scandal are . . . the number-fudging scientists. People are attempting to "Swiftboat" those poor CRU guys, sighed Sachs. Wow! I can remember when getting caught in a lie was a BAD thing.
Now it's just another reason to be 'offended'.

I only got to watch the 1st 15 mins. but Norah O'Donnell was a breath of fresh air on the show this morning. Joking around and such. Mika better watch her back.

Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. Do we have an e-mail address and phone number for this thief and con-man?

In a nutshell, the state of anthropogenic global warming (the real issue, not the catchall "climate change") is:
1) Climategate has revealed fraudulent science, sloppy science, and political maneuvering to subvert peer review and good scientific process.
2) Recent research has definitively discredited the computer models that indicate that increasing CO2 will result in severe, runaway warming.
3) The paleoclimate record shows that our current climate is not at all unusual.
4) The last few years have shown no warming, instead, slight to moderate cooling depending on what dataset you use.
5) Ocean and CO2 levels are rising at a slower than expected rate, consistent with (3) above.
Conclusion: There is NO "global warming crisis" to justify wrecking our economy, lowering our standard of living, and transferring countless billions of dollars to "poor" countries. We must not stand for a single penny of taxpayer money to be spent on this fraud, and further we must repeal the absurd "CO2 is pollution" legislation.

That is a true statement, Kerry was attacked with the truth and so are these scientist.Which is exactly why these individuals should not be called "scientists." Call them what they are, "charlatans."

That’s because conservatives and Republicans are often attacked with something other than the truth....

Anybody who uses the term “Swiftboat” in discussing AGW is revealing a deeper political agenda. Makes it easier to dismiss what they are saying.

so true - If you don’t want to get swiftboated, don’t lie.
My big problem with this is that the left has successfully shifted the focus to the emails and away from the altered data.
If corporate financial data were altered in this way the liberal congresscritters would be all over it like stink on poop. I wonder if some new compliance law will be written to make sure that this doesn’t happen again, ala SOX regulations that bean counters must document and follow to the letter.

The same lame defense Dan Rather used in Memogate has been trotted out on ClimateGate by Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. Jeffrey Sachs rants about the "religious right" and "separation of church and state":
"No Place for Piety" The New Scientist, November 8, 2003
He was upset because Bush wasn't funding "family planning" (i.e. abortion) worldwide.

"People are attempting to 'Swiftboat' those poor CRU guys", sighed Sachs.???
I agree, people ARE trying to expose the lies of those science frauds.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
You mean global warming is seared -- SEARED!! -- into their memory?
I didn't know that Mann, Jones, Briffa, and Hansen had been to Viet Nam or Cambodia.
Cheers!

Convienent to forget the Swift Boater were telling the TRUTHLOL! Exactly.
Swiftboating is truth telling.
Exactly. An "Inconvenient" Truth.
And the "scientific" studies these clowns are producing are
"UNFIT FOR PUBLICATION".
Cheers!
