Climategate: climate of fear – James Delingpole - Telegraph Blogs
What is it about open debate that these people so hate? If the AGW threat really is so urgent and scientifically watertight, why do climate scientists like the ones implicated in Climategate strive so hard to shut out contradictory evidence and silence dissent?

To judge by the MSM’s almost universally gushing, uncritical reporting on Copenhagen, the AGW lobby’s tactic now will be to pretend Climategate never happened and that nothing has changed.

But it did happen and it has changed everything for the truth is finally out. It will take more than the odd slapheaded bully to silence us now.

Americans' belief in global warming sinks as Republicans shift; CNN polling director suggests that carbon dioxide is "pollution"
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Monday, indicates that two-thirds of all Americans believe global warming is a proven fact. That's down 8 percentage points since June 2008, with views among Democrats holding steady and Republicans' belief in global warming dropping 11 points.

"The growing skepticism among Republicans, with no matching shift among Democrats, suggests that the changes measured in this poll may be a reaction to having a Democrat in the White House rather than a shift in underlying attitudes toward global warming," said Keating Holland, CNN polling director.

Why does a majority support lowering emissions when most Americans no longer think emissions cause global warming?

"Americans may have other reasons to support a reduction in carbon dioxide and other gases," Holland said. "Pollution is pollution, and the country has been worried about clean air long before global warming became a topic of discussion."
