The Global Warming Bombshell

Or is it the 'smoking gun'? How about Warmingate?

John Hinderaker at Powerline with analysis of the incredible Hadley CRU hack/leak of emails from the top global warmist scientists:

This and many other emails convey the impression that these theorists are making the "science" up as they go along, with data being manipulated until it yields the results that have been predetermined by political conviction. Left-wing politics is a common theme of the emails.

They also suggest that pro-global warming scientists fudge data to get the results they are looking for.

Fudging data to yield results predetermined by political conviction. Wow. Who would have predicted that?

UPDATE: From The Telegraph: The final nail in the anthropogenic global warming coffin?

Manipulation of evidence, private doubts about whether the world really is heating up, suppression of evidence, fantasies of violence against prominent Climate Sceptic scientists, attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period, how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process.

And on it goes through hundreds of emails. This may well be one of the greatest scandals in the history of science. How many billions of dollars have been wasted on this so far?
