Did $16 Stand In The Way Of Climate Science? | Fox News

Steven McIntyre, a noted climate skeptic and author of the blog Climate Audit, disputed those vindications vehemently.

"Unfortunately none of the 'inquiries' did even a reasonable job," he told FoxNews.com. "None of them interviewed any of the critics … there were no transcripts. The inquiries made erroneous findings on facts known to thousands."

"In my opinion, the 'inquiries' have actually made matters worse," McIntyre told FoxNews.com.

MinnPost - Don Shelby: How will the media handle Climategate Version 2.0?

I've read most of the emails. There is a gold mine there if you are an out-of-context kind of reporter. I'm not, particularly.

...As an outside observer of mainstream media these days, it will be interesting to see if the MSM learned any lessons from its egg-on-the-face rush to judgment in 2009. It appears, at first blush, the MSM has learned a lesson. Many outlets are openly critical of the hack, deliberate in their approach to the information, and looking for context.

The scientists have learned lessons, as well. They have learned that their natural paranoia is grounded in fact. There are people out to get them.

I wonder if the mainstream media can spare just one reporter to find out who in the world is trying to destroy the laws of physics and the scientists who abide by them.

I've got some free time.
