“Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.”
“In the 1999 e-mail, Jones wrote of using a trick to hide an apparent decline in recent global temperatures on a chart being prepared for use by a meteorological organization.”
Damn, this global warming debate really is a hot subject.
“The e-mail had been taken completely out of context.”

We have created and institutionalized incentives for fraud and penalties for honesty and candor. Not just for men of science; for virtually every trade and walk of life. For many men, the touchstone of ethical judgment is no longer “Is it right?” It’s “Can I get away with it?”We have destroyed the bedrock of freedom: our ability to trust.
Damn the bastards who will never be held responsible for their wrongdoing.
