It just gets worse

Well, no, actually -- things are finally getting better, with even the leftist UK Guardian newspaper calling for heads to roll (Climate change email scandal shames the university and requires resignations).

I said long ago that the AGW push had red flags all over it, flapping high in the breeze for all to see: Naive, self-serving faith in laughably weak and incomplete computer models, big money at stake for economic players, big ideological leverage for anti-capitalist, redistributionist political factions, the rush to enforce a politico-scientific orthodoxy, the absurd claims of consensus, and the demands for premature closure on the central questions based on the ridiculous notion of "finished science." This thing had boondoggle written all over it from virtually the word Go.
