Attacks on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Obscure Real Science

The storm-in-a-teacup around Climategate seems to continue unabated. Yes politicians and corporations whose business is emitting carbon have blown in out of proportion in order to drive their own agenda – to stop any form of climate legislation in the USA.

The Union of Concerned Scientists has come up with a nice response: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/global_warming_contrarians/attacks-on-the-ipcc.html. Unfortunately it is unlikely to put the dispute to rest – the issue is no longer one of science but of one of politics.
