BBC News - "Climategate" scientist contemplated suicide

Mentally unstable, contemplating suicide? Yes, we can believe a nut job like that!

You believe Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly, and they are not even scientists!

Cite where I believe them? Did you see my rant where I railed against Beck in the elections forum? Probably not.

Add anyone you want who dispels climate change and you will believe them.

Just like you will ignore thousands of scientists conclusions from all across the world, of every race, religion, and political background, for some serial shrieker on FOX or some "pundit" on the internet.

Face it, facts and research do not matter to climate change deniers.

The data is not statistically significant, and Jones admits it. What do you want me to do...wish it to be so?

Again, when the IPCC data supports it I'll open my mind.

The posting suggests the facts are not on your side. When you can come back with an argument as to how the data is statistically significant (I'll accept t-tests, ANOVA, and even ChiSq metrics), I'll be right here with baited breath.

Apparently, facts don't matter much to climate change 'scientists' either.

Who needs lousy facts when you have degrees, grants, and awards? Kind of like the boy scouts, are you going to question the lead scout with merit badges up and down their chest?

They know that facts need to be well, "managed" to cause a rain of dollars.
