Climategate poll

You know that whole "climategate" nonsense was settled, right? It was a ginned-up controversy with no merit, and the evidence still supports the conclusion of anthropogenic global warming.

Unfortunately, that message hasn't gotten to the public yet. It just goes to show how easy it is to persuade people with fabricated conspiracy theories.

Are you satisfied with the British panel's conclusion that while 'Climategate' scientists were not always forthcoming, their science was sound?

33.6%
Yes, the panel was fair in reproaching their behavior while upholding key data.

66.4%
No, I still believe those scientists fabricated data to support their beliefs on man-made warming.

I did like this one comment:

Typical for scientists to lie... look at evolution and how they try to justify it.

Yeah, that guy is smart and well-informed.
