The linked story is not all that exciting but some of the comments following it are priceless. They also contain some excellent links if you want to read further into this scandal.

Even though Canada only produces 2% of the world's emissions, some people want to shut down the entire oil industry, which will devastate the economy, put everyone in Alberta and most of Ontario out of work, make you lose your home and leave the country to freeze to death come January. Do you think:

1. We should be a bit more cautious, especially since China produces many times more emissions that Canada and isn't doing a thing about it, or

2. Give David Suzuki dictatorial powers over the economy.

The guy doing the survey also runs Exxon. Not that he'd torque the survey to get the results he wants. Heaven forbid! That would be unethical.

When the oilfield went bust in the spring these aholes were the first to complain that no one was spending money anymore, and their businesses were also going under and tens of thousands of jobs were lost. Who do they think was spending the money, buying the new vehicles ,toys etc. :mad:

Which kinda brings us back to what I have said repeatedly - science is no better than the intent of the person pushing it.

'Nuther interesting opinion. What is so baffling is the fact that the leftist papers are not giving it any press at all - not even denials. Only the briefest of blog space by a few frothing believers.

Does this mean that the blow has struck very deeply? It will be hard to rebut this exposure without further damaging the cause of AGW "truthers".

AGW "truthers"

truthers would imply that someone is seeking the truth.. and that they don't accept the given explanations of the event..

those who are supporters of the AGW agenda are dishonest and attempting to present the lies as evidence of real science..

"The selective publication of some stolen emails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way," the university said.

The above quote comes from the Wall Street Journal article:

This attitude is what makes it so frustrating to "debate" with the left - they will debate only when they are in control of the agenda. And they will only allow what they want into the agenda. Deception, distraction and fluff.

For this reason, there are some people with whom I just will not engage nor miss.
