Yet even a partial review of the emails is highly illuminating. In them, scientists appear to urge each other to present a "unified" view on the theory of man-made climate change while discussing the importance of the "common cause"; to advise each other on how to smooth over data so as not to compromise the favored hypothesis; to discuss ways to keep opposing views out of leading journals; and to give tips on how to "hide the decline" of temperature in certain inconvenient data.UPDATE: Note that a huge player in this scandal is from our own state university, Michael Mann, director of Penn State's Earth Systems Science Center.
UDATE: Megan McCardle has a fair post on matter. (Fair as in reasonable, not mediocre).
