The University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit's e-mail account was hacked earlier this month, exposing communications among CRU faculty members and researchers that reveal their willingness to distort climate-change data.

The choices within the climate change debate are extraordinarily difficult. Imperfect people, not pure science, must decide our course of action.

The Climategate scandal erodes the credibility of both the scientists involved and the institution of scientific research.

Academe has been so politicized, and so radically disconnected from the population, that ordinary citizens no longer trust anything that it produces--even science.

Since the beginning of the climate change story more than 20 years ago, it has been hard to sort out whether the IPCC represents the “best” science, or merely the findings most compatible with the politically driven climate policy agenda. Both sets of Climategate emails have lifted the lid on the insides of the process, and it isn’t pretty.

Climate Research Unit e-mails suggest that its scientists have been suppressing and misstating data.

Climate science has become one of the most distrusted occupations; it is fast becoming known for reporting exaggerations and bending the truth.

Climate science acts as a fire alarm (to alert us to any potential climatic dangers), but it's the capitalist system that is the real insurance policy.
