Given how much some of the MSM in this country at least are trying to brush it under the carper, I think the best response is for everyone who can to keep banging on about it so that it doesn't get forgotten/ignored. Having studied science a bit at Uni so far all of the defences do ring very very hollow indeed. I like that line “Seems that climate change is man-made after all.” mind if I steal it?

Assuming that the emails are true, which no one has denied at this stage, it demonstrates a serious lack of ethics. They state (from realclimate.org): “…releasing private information is illegal, and regardless of how they were obtained, posting private correspondence without permission is unethical. We therefore aren’t going to post any of the emails here.” Which is very convenient for them considering that it exposes some serious ethical problems. They then go on to try to defend themselves against one claim, stating: “Scientists often use the term “trick” to refer to a “a good way to deal with a problem”, rather than something that is “secret”, and so there is nothing problematic in this at all.” Yeah right. I guess releasing a damage control statement is also known as a ‘trick’. Seems that climate change is man-made after all. I hope people actually take note of this whole incident.
