There is no reason to “save the planet.”

It was never in danger.

We can continue to clean up our own mess, of course, but not at the expense of jobs and the economy.

Or political freedoms.

Not so fast ... They want to fix it and then restart the scam with fixed up science. They do seem to know they overreached.

Like with health-care, FRANKENSTEIN always seems to revive.

At what point does Gore come out and admit he either: a. lied to the world about this and profited from it; or b. was taken in by this hoax but still made a profit from it?

Wait, I forgot, he has no honor.

Newsweek is still falling all over itself to give credibility to the hoaxers and denigrating many of the “deniers” as rank amateurs who are just trying to poke holes in climate change without real science. Man caused global warming is a HOAX and a fraud perpetrated by Al Gore and others for personal gain and political agendas. The US media are deniers of this truth.

What a steaming pile of biased excrement this column is. Every possible (and impossible) positive is attributed to the warmers, and every possible slur (deniers, for example) is attributed to the skeptics, who have been proven right time and time again.

When Newsweak flips on an "environmental" issue, you know the game is up. They are very cautious here but the seeds of doubt have clearly taken root. To see the word "Climategate" in Newsweak print, and not in a pejorative way, is a turning point and signals to the competition that they better keep up. I would say this may be the crack in the dam that has been awaited.

Hey Doc, I wonder what ever happened to the ACID RAIN. CO2 + Rain water => Carbolic acid. It was supposed to kill the fresh sprigs off the tips of the evergreens in the Colorado Rockies and dissolve the freizes on the Parthenon.

I guess the federal funding must'a ran out.....

I was astonished when I saw this headline, in Newsweek!!!???

Then I read the article. They couldn't have given the IPCC and the warmists softer treatment. They whitewash several major scandals and problems. They mention that the "hockey stick" graph is questioned but never mention that it has now been discredited.

Many more examples.....it's still Newsweak.

All the article does is bemoan loss of momentum. It attributes it to “denier” unfairness, sloppiness in peripheral matters, or to understandable secretiveness of government scientists. It doesn’t touch the underlying reason: there hasn’t been any reliable science produced that can be backed up by credible data. It’s all been a product of massaging or cheating.

Do you mean to honestly state that NEWSWEEK ran a story about global warming being a LIE??

They’re at the first stages of addiction recovery-they have just recognized they have a problem. I look forward to the more painful parts of their recovery, in fact, aren’t they about due to go bankrupt?

Wonder why the author did not include Phil Jones’ admission that the climate has not warmed since 1995 and his confession that it was warmer in the middle ages than it is now. There are a lot of little nasty revelations like those that the author cared not share with the general public.

The original idea—conceived by Penn State's Mann while still a postdoctoral researcher—was to surmise temperatures, going back 1,000 years, from such data as the thickness of the rings of bristlecone pine trees, which grow faster in warm summers than in cool ones. The method, for technical reasons, didn't work for the last two decades of the 20th century.

Uh, I call baloney on this. If tree-ring growth measurements don't correlate to temperature for the last two decades of the 20th century then they don't for any other period of time. There can be no rational "technical reason" why they should no longer correlate; trees didn't evolve a new growth pattern in 1980.

“””What went wrong? Part of the blame lies, of course, with those who obstructed the efforts of the IPCC and the individual scientists, including bloggers who tried to sandbag scientists with spurious FOIA requests, and the perpetrators (as yet unknown) of the hack at the Climatic Research Unit.””””


This is really sad when Newsweek journalists lament the fact that some people actually want to know the truth.

In the mind of the Newsweek journalists truth does not matter. The only thing that matters to them is achieving a victory regarding a political position.

Why is anybody still subscribing to this garbage?

Wasn't it Newsweek back in the 70’s warning of a new ice age?

This is progress. Newsweek now sees a need to actually mention Climategate to its dwindling reader base. That the article grotesquely distorts the facts to favor the warmistas can be taken for granted.

The hoax is finally over.

Not really. Even this article hangs on to the fiction that CO2 is some dreaded pollutant. They are still shooting at the soft belly of the economy with their junk science arrows.

We have to destroy the lie that CO2 is a danger before the hoax really dies.
