Man-made global warming is completely made up. There is ZERO credible scientific evidence to support their claims....NONE. Ahhhhhh, its totally super hot on the East Coast right now......proof man is warming the earth and we will all be dead by Al Gore's claimed 2016....lmaO:thumbsup:

Is that what WND says?
No mention of how the scientists involved at Penn State and elsewhere were cleared of the charges of faking science?

Here is what the Pittsburgh Post says about it. You do know who owns that newspaper don't you? He's no stooge for the Democrats is he IB?


Full vindication: A Penn State scientist is cleared in 'climategate'

There's no doubt that the so-called "climategate" scandal last year shook public confidence in the worldwide scientific consensus affirming the reality of global warming due to human influences. The deniers gleefully seized upon the hacked e-mails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit as proof that the data had been manipulated to justify false conclusions.

That was never a fair reading. Assuming confidentiality, the authors sometimes wrote flippantly, recklessly and injudiciously, but they did not reveal themselves as insincere in their scientific beliefs, just frustrated with their critics.

The bogus nature of the scandal was underscored close to home last week when Penn State University gave final vindication to one of the most prominent scientists caught up in the affair, Michael E. Mann.

Dr. Mann, director of Penn State's Earth System Science Center, was a target of climate change skeptics even before the release of the e-mails, but the subsequent controversy moved the university to investigate. In early February, a committee reported back that there was no credible evidence that Dr. Mann had engaged in any actions with the intent to suppress or falsify data; similarly, he had not tried to delete or conceal e-mails and had not engaged in any misuse of privileged or confidential information. The committee only held off on declaring whether Dr. Mann had committed any serious deviation from accepted academic practices, saying that more review was necessary.

Last week, that verdict was returned. By unanimous vote, a new investigatory committee found there was no substance to the final allegation. For Dr. Mann, it is vindication. For the continuing debate on climate change and what to do about it -- a subject in the process of being taken up by Congress -- it removes an unfounded distraction
