"The inquiry into the scandal at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit found there was no evidence of dishonesty or corruption contained in the more than 1,000 e-mails stolen and posted to the Internet late last year. But [Sir Muir Russell, who wrote the report], did chide the scientists for failing to share their data with critics."

This reminds me of the one day each year the school principle would sit in on class to grade our teacher. It was hardly an independent critique and meaningless in any case.
You know what should make you more suspicious? The fact that other scientists at top institutions have said they don't want to speak out publically against any 'evidence' of anthropological GW because of the backlash. I mean, what kind of a conversation can we have when one group feels unsafe speaking up about what they really think is going on?
Exhonorated by the people who will benefit most by cap and tax policies. Gee aint that a surprise. It's about like telling the bank robber the combo to the safe.
