Dearest Stephanie: Your huffing above, that in the absence of any really hard data(“Sorry, we lost it in the move” by the warmist techies of East Anglia!) we should all “come together, conservatives and liberals alike” to establish, for no good reason now except to be good globalists, a world government that would make Oil-for-Food look like a bake sale in comparison, is beneath you.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a religious fervor, this global warming jihad. Please just one time could you take a deep breath, take a baby-step back from the apocalyptic demeanor you’ve absorbed from years growing up in the “green movement” and think about what you’re backing, defending, justifying, rationalizing, … now demanding, reasonable people to do in the name of unsubstantiable claims?

Blaming conservatives for hacking the server is predictable, and the sorriest way to discredit what is really revealed in the e-mails, that it’s a conspiracy of idiots to get science to do what it was designed NOT to do–go along with a dubious claim without real peer review and years nigh unto decades of testing, re-testing, and pursuing alternative conclusions. If infectious disease had been pursued by your kind of science, we’d all be dead of pneumonia or syphilis or staph, or bad medicine, by now!

Please! Science was working pretty well before you called on it to front for world government. Give it a break.

Copenhagen is famous for a demure naked lady on a rock. Let’s leave it that way.

I think it’s irresponsible of you to just discard anything these leaked e-mails have to say just because they don’t agree with your beliefs about the issue. I know you say in your article that you tried to come at them objectively, but it really doesn’t seem that way. What is some kind of new evidence came out in support of your position? I’m assuming you wouldn’t react the same way you did to these e-mails.

And I wish you’d stop claiming in your articles that there’s a consensus in the scientific community on this issue. There isn’t.

The extent to which the anti-science conservative movement have been successful in muddying the waters of the climate change debate (what should be done, not if it exists) is truly astonishing and shows us exactly how much better conservative pundits are at spin.

The rational outcry has been subdued, to say the least. Many believe that the incontrovertible nature of the evidence will win everyone over. This simply isn’t so. The kind of people who doubt climate change don’t live on the same planet you and I do. They live on some far off asteroid, probably with Le Petit Prince, and care nothing for facts.

And besides email, what other data did they copy? Or was it solely email data?
