    Read all about Climategate (but you won't) in "Hiding the Decline - A History of the Climategate Affair." HarryReadMe tells the tale. ~ 300 pages with complete bibliography consisting of 364 entries and index. It's a sordid story of a complete corruption of the Scientific Method.

    It's academia that's feeding us the bull cookies.

    Jones was in charge of the CRU from what I know. Please tell us what his salary was?

    Those 13 million weren't given to promote global warming. It was given to STUDY global warming. These scientists need funding to support their research, but that research doesn't preplan or predetermine the outcome of the research in advance. Your whole premise is wrong, and grossly unfair to truth-seeking scientists.

    If they disproved "man made" global warming the funding's over, then it's back to how hot does plastic packaging melt.

    All government climate change funding comes with the understanding that presupposes CO2 is driving global warming. Smart scientists know to keep their mouths shut if the don't want the spigot to dry up. You also appear to think scientists are somehow beyond being human.

    Reading comprehension seems to be lacking for some. Where did Mattis claim man is the cause?

    Are you saying Mattis never said AGW is a problem? Do you know what the A stands for?

    'Climate change'

    The only constant in climate is change.

    Why it changes is a different issue.

    So if I show a statement where he said he supports AGW theory you will admit you are wrong?

    Remember, EPA’s highest-paid official felt it was his duty to “modify the DNA of the capitalist system.”

    Climate Change is about changing capitalism to central planning.
