Hi
The above "ClimateGate" emails were examined by the Uni of East Anglia, lots of other international research groups, the U.S. National Research Council and many many journalists. The scientists were not "skewing the facts". This so called Climate Gate is still being peddled by climate change skeptics.
A quick link: Climategate 2.0: Do new emails undermine global warming science? - Capital Weather Gang - The Washington Post
One can argue and argue technical points but many people still get their "evidence" for belief from radio shock jocks, newspapers and TV which give a "balanced opinion". This is something that journos and media people have been taught to do - show both sides of a story. Unfortunately that means that folks that don't have access or time or ability to understand the complex, technical issues get misled into thinking that there are two sides and two valid views. Some stories though only have one side which is correct (astrology, homeopathy, murder, genocide). Unfortunately some topics are tied in with political and social implications. There are still people who do not believe that smoking vastly increases your risk of lung cancer or that basic healthcare should be within reach of everyone.
Climate change is occurring. It's occurring faster than predicted. The CO2 increase is irrefutable. All current climate models predict a major problem for us all. Wake up dodos

Wow
Even after a lot of emails from so called scientists were discovered saying that they had more or less skewed the facts to fit the political agenda, you people still turn a deaf ear.
