ClimateGate

i've read a great deal about climategate. i've heard about it on the news. i downloaded the darn information and put it on my computer and even read some of it. theres a lot of it there.

and now the tough part. since 1990 when global warming became an issue, (it was global cooling before that) science as a whole has been systematically been pushing out scientists who didnt buy into the idea that humans had a measureable impact on the environment around them. now im not saying that humans dont have an effect. im saying that its local. as in there may be smog in toronto some days. half an hour down the highway theres nothing.

so for 19 years anyone who didnt buy into global warming like beenie babies for eggheads has been less likely to get grant money, new employment, or recognition. so for 19 years we've been systematically removing anyone who might be qualified to give a relatively unbiased analysis of the data. so now what?

now nothing.

there is nothing sensible that can be done now. the naysayers of global warming have been marginalized for so long that they are regarded as crackpots and loons. they have been labeled such for so long that whether they deserve it or not, they have no credibility on the political stage. which is where the MOST important part of the drama is being carried out.

So then, you can read the emails, and see the data, but what do you know, your not a climatologist (if it has ologist in it you KNOW its hokey) and theres no one truly qualified out there to analyze the information anyways...

thus we can see that either global warming politics will die quietly through failing public interest, or continue in spite of the information that has come to light.
