Climategate

Don't have too much to say about this. While many elements of the mainstream media have been minimizing and downplaying this scandal, the Drudge Report (and also Fox News) have been keeping the story alive in the US.

Here is one of the latest links on the Drudge Report on Climategate.

The Wall Street Journal had a good article about the scandal yesterday:

The real issue is what the messages say about the way the much-ballyhooed scientific consensus on global warming was arrived at, and how a single view of warming and its causes is being enforced.

Much of this resembles the late Michael Crichton's novel, State of Fear

As the representative of the U.S.A., Obama degrades all American citizens when he bows to foreign leaders. No American citizen should ever bow to a foreign leader (even though Obama is not a natural born citizen, he is an American citizen).
