ClimateGate ‘09. You’re wondering how Email Fail has failed to comment on ClimateGate, aren’t you?
I’ve been away from work. Sarcasm takes a holiday.
The uproar about the hacked emails, which allegedly show that scientists manipulated data to exaggerate the effects of human activity on climate change, has been interesting. But it’s been more political than email-related.
One side says the emails are damning evidence of scientists misleading the world for years. The other sides says the emails were obtained illegally by hackers paid to undermine the Copenhagen climate summit going on this week and that any ‘damning’ bits were taken out of context.
I say hacking email is bad.
And the timing is suspicious.
And I’m not taking sides.
