“Climategate” Scientists Exonerated

Two independent reports have exonerated the “Climategate” scientists, but you wouldn’t know it to read the news. Salon.com takes on the wet-noodle, mainstream press. “By restoring the reputation of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the reports released by a Netherlands environmental agency and a special British investigative panel should do much to dispel the widespread doubt generated by hackers who pinched nasty e-mails from the computers of climate scientists associated with the IPCC. Or the reports would dispel doubt, if only the mainstream media showed sufficient interest in correcting the record.”
