Sound And Fury Signifying Nothing

Remember that whole "Climategate" thing involving UK scientists?  The House of Commons investigated the claims.  Guess what they found?
The first of several British investigations into the e-mails leaked from one of the world's leading climate research centers has largely vindicated the scientists involved.

The House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee said Wednesday that they'd seen no evidence to support charges that the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit or its director, Phil Jones, had tampered with data or perverted the peer review process to exaggerate the threat of global warming two of the most serious criticisms levied against the climatologist and his colleagues.

In their report, the committee said that, as far as it was able to ascertain, "the scientific reputation of Professor Jones and CRU remains intact," adding that nothing in the more than 1,000 stolen e-mails, or the controversy kicked up by their publication, challenged scientific consensus that "global warming is happening and that it is induced by human activity."

  1. Yeah, but see this is from Europe, which is Liberal, thus Hates America And Whitey.

    So it doesn't count. And the scientists Hate America too. That's the only reason anyone would support global warming theories. And they're only theories! Which Hate America too.
