I read the Wash Post article. It concedes nothing, and is a rear-guard action by the pro-AGW crowd to placate the faithful.

But the fact that they feel they NEED a response, other than ignoring the matter, is telling.

Its not so much what they reported but that they reported climategate on the front page at all.

Exactly. This now opens up the subject for debate on the Letters To The Editor page. Enough pressure might be maintained to make them look deeper than just repeating spin.

Is the Washington Post known as a more conservative paper

The Washington Times is the more conservative periodical.

Yes, and it's owned by the moonies.

The post is a bit of a paradox. It is definitely liberal in it's op-eds and what it allows to be printed; however, it's not like the NYT. Unlike the New York Times, The Post is actually still capable of real journalism and will print stories such as climate-gate.

They can't keep the lid on it anymore.

Their environmental religion has been exposed for the fraud that it is. Now to get it labeled as such and removed from the classrooms.

If anyone has more time than I do today, they might check out the WP comments on this article. I read a few (and the WP seems to add the most recent to the top, so it gets confusing). I read the first page, and they seem about evenly divided. But there's over 10 more pages!

Yesterday, someone posted an article from The Boston Globe (owned by the NYT and just as moonbat): Harvard professor weighs in on climategate. The article is strictly toe-the-party-line -- but most of the comments are terrific. Even some of those from sincere environmental types! I would hope that response would sway the Globe to more and fairer coverage . . . I suppose it might -- keeps up the pressure anyway!

I thought Pielke was not in the alarmist camp...but sice he is @ the COLONRADO facility maybe he has been tainted. Time for a little payback no matter. Investigate all of them, we should put them in an EcoPrison in S. AZ...Sheriff Joe will show them some warming!

Is the Washington Post known as a more conservative paper or is it a moonbat publication?

There's nothing conservative about the Post.

I don't even believe the page number in that paper.

"KFI’s Ken and John show did it....had a guest on yesterday afternoon stating that he and another Academy member (in Hollywood ) were calling for Gore’s Oscar to be recalled!"

It just goes to show you that we need Mark Lloyd now more than ever.

The Pelkes. father and son, maintain that land use changes are a major contributing factor in the current warming since 1880.

None of the models properly deal with the urban heat-island effect and have conflicting adjustments to raw measurements.

The critical economic driver relies on CO2 increases and secondary amplifiers, feedbacks, for the accelerating future warming projected.

In that, they are in heated disagreement with the consensus argument.

They are members of the ‘lukewarmers.’

They do proffer a solution: a carbon tax.

The NYT is thinking, “Damn, now we’re going to have to publish our article next Saturday.”

America is done, finished, so over.

If you really believe that, then go quietly from this place, and never return to utter those defeatist words here again.

When the 800-pound gorilla in the room can no longer be ignored, the MSM calls it an alleged monkey.

I scan the comments section on most MSM ClimayeGate and find the vast bulk of commenters are skeptical of all Climate alarmist! It's too late for the MSM to slide they are being held to the Post Dan Rather standard of probity!

The focus is on the stolen e mails. The real damning evidence is the computer code.

Presstitutes and their john’s can’t understand the math, and it is real math, not the usual arithmetic mountainized for self esteem. The emails can be spun but the code cannot. it is fraud, pure and simple, no equivocating.

.......He likely got a heads-up from the Washington Post.....

Actually, he got a heads up and a warning from Sarah Palin.

Read all about it.

Now we are hearing a lot of “Even if global warming isn’t true...wouldn’t it be great to remove these pollutants and gases etc, etc, etc.”

Of course, as pointed out by many others, C02 is NOT a pollutant (thankfully), and man’s contribution of C02 as compared to natural C02 is neglible.

But, to remove it at what cost?
