"Climategate" has put scientists on trial in the court of public opinion. If you believe climate sceptics, a huge body of evidence involving the work of tens of thousands of scientists over more than a century should be thrown out on the basis of the alleged misconduct of a handful of researchers, even though nothing in the hacked emails has been shown to undermine any of the scientific conclusions.
If we are going to judge the truth of claims on the behaviour of those making them, it seems only fair to look at the behaviour of a few of those questioning the scientific consensus. There are many similar examples we did not include. We leave readers to draw their own conclusions about who to trust.

Hey, it’s warmed up down here...will be at 78 degrees tomorrow....my back feels much better.
[will be at 78 degrees tomorrow]
I envy you, I’m in South Texas and all we’ve had is rain and mostly in the 40’s here. I’m suffering from lack of sunshine, it’s depressing.
.
I also carried several brands of premium antifreeze, additives, and an electric swizzle-stick in my handy portable toolbox in the trunk
And a bag o’ crushed ice
.
Surf’s up!
Lol, that car had a trunk? heh
Surf’s up and freezing cold!
.
And a large separate spare tire compartment (with outside rear access panel to the spare tire) just under the trunk
Gas tank was vertical and just behind the passenger area and small rear jump seat area - it gave better handling balance to the car and an option for more storage under the truck in the spare tire compartment -
Lol.
I was thinking we were still on the ‘car thread’! We have hijacked the climate thread, heh! But that bag of ice made the car chilly, right....
.
That was prior to Nuclear Winter scares from the media and BS’ers
Ice kept the TR from turning into a pumpkin at midnight on hot summer nights
[That was prior to Nuclear Winter scares from the media and BS’ers]
What was?
I need to go back to bed and get up on the other side and re-screw my head on, lolol.
Don’t you just love people who write stories and know nothing about what they are talking about?
.
Before the Global Colling BS in magazines (as in my .gif)
They scared with Nuclear Winter BS
Then when nobody froze or made millions
Global Warming was invented
That became Climate Change
Otherwise: SEASONS (but there are no huge scam-bucks in seasons, elliptical orbit changes, sunspots, etc.)
OK, you were referring back to your Gore gif, that explains it. I just got lost somehow, lol.
Someone posted a list of all the previous ‘scares’ they came up with over the years, ones that proved false too.
