So many opinions, so many of everything, so little fact.

One small point for all of you with this myopic focus on East Anglia.
It's only one source of data. Do you all forget that the issue of
climate change has been rather widely researched and East Anglia is not
the sole arbiter here? Of course, it certainly suits the skeptics to
make noise about this. But if everyone wants to ignore the great bodies
of other research on the subject, independent of East Anglia, then be my
guest.

But it is simply myopic.

Isn't Fox News just grand.

A segment on the Dec. 3 broadcast of BBC's "Newsnight," showed the 
implications of the story behind the so-called "ClimateGate" scandal are 
more than just e-mails concealing data, but an incompetence analyzing 
the data by way of faulty computer code.

John Graham-Cumming, a British programmer known for the open source 
"POPFile email filtering program" explained how the University of East 
Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had wholesale problems with its 
computer programming analyzing climate change data, with billion, if not 
even trillions of dollars, on the line.
