10:10, “Splattergate”, and why the loss of reason is a greater threat than climate change - Millennia IT Blog
As a result we are now pretty much disaster exhausted, to the point that the claims of doom have to be ever more strident and have now reached truly ridiculous proportions (like 200 foot sea level rises), and yet the population as whole is becoming MORE sceptical.

So that just leaves death threats…..

This misadventure has also served to tip fence sitters significantly on to the sceptical side and even made a few believers wonder why they bother. It damages the good messages that need to be heard and science as a whole. To me it boils down to something even simpler – these people are so blinkered now in trying to hammer out their message they have lost sight of reason.

200 new species found in Papua New Guinea « The k2p blog
With the rate at which new species are being found and extinct species are being rediscovered and with unknown marine species being estimated to be between 1 and 10 million and micro-organism species thought to be in excess of one billion, I am beginning to wonder if humans are not soon going to be crowded off the planet.
I’ll Trade You Cuccinelli For Splattergate With A Player To Be Named Later | Watts Up With That?
But it didn’t rise to a criminal level (that was the UK deleting emails in advance of Freedom of Information requests, not Michael Mann). What Ken Cuccinelli is doing is going fishing for wrongdoing without an allegation of such wrongdoing–and that’s not how we should be doing things in this country.
Isn't Cuccinelli trying to get copies of Mann et al emails that were illegally deleted on the UK side?  If so, is there something wrong with that?
