Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? He lied over and over again, so when he actually told the truth nobody believed him. The climategate scandal is very serious and in my opinion worse than any Watergate scandal. These liers are trying to change the whole world economy to the tune of billions, more like trillions of dollars by manipulating temperature change readings. Global warming and climate change scientists, meteorologists, etc. who lied and distorted the truth are going to have a harder time misleading people now. Although some will follow Al Gore right to the bank many who were somewhere in the middle on the global warming controversy are solidly against it.
My stance is the same as it was before the deceitful emails and letters were found. Climate change is mostly cyclical and the result of solar activity. Sure the Industrial Age has brought about a little warming in the atmosphere but it is insignificant as far as making the earth warmer. Mankind should change pollution standards and the warming it causes in a reasonable matter. What is reasonable? Changes that do not destroy the world economy and undermine job creation.
