Sometimes the truth is ellusive. So it goes with the debate over man-made global warming. For the past decade now we have heard the Al Gore's and James Hanson's of the world tell us that man is responsible for global warming and we hve to stop burning fossil fuels now or the world will be destroyed.

Opponents have been silenced with the mantra that there is a "consensus" of scientists who believe warming is man-made. The only problem is that consensus has no place in "science." Science is about investigating the real world and seeing what the empirical data tells you. I do recall there was scientific consensus at one point in time that the earth was flat. Or that the Sun revolved around the earth. Consensus in science means absolutely nothing.

Now it appears someone has hacked into East Anglia's Climate Research Unit computers and leaked some classified information. I cannot say I support the method used to obtain the documents, nevertheless, the cat is now out of the bag.

In light of the fact that its obvious the data doesn't support global warming, it makes these articles that much more comical:
