Man-made meddling

Silence from the Tribune on the depth and implications of the ClimateGate scandal, following an initial cursory AP report. There was coverage of the Goracle's Chicago visit from other media, but not the Tribune. Now we find out the ClimateGate emails were released not by a hacker, but a whistleblower. Millions, no trillions of taxpayer dollars are at risk of being spent on this fraud. Yet on the eve of the Copenhagen gathering, we are still subjected to this kind of sappy crap, "Climate change is personal in La.":

Southeastern Louisiana is losing land at the rate of some 15 square miles a year, owing to a combination of rising sea levels and ground-level subsidence that scientists blame on human meddling with the natural drainage patterns of the Mississippi -- and on rising global temperatures.

Well, temperatures aren't rising (tho the BBC is still pretending not to notice the scandal)--so how about looking at the man-made meddling, hmm? How about playing politics with levees, (Sen. Mary Landrieu) how about New Orleans sinking for years--how about NOT rebuilding sunken areas, how about letting NOLA go back to nature, hmm? (The French Quarter will survive--it was built on higher ground way back, laissez les bon temps roulez.)

How about exploring in a story the man-made meddling on the global warming data? How about some reporting?

More. Gibbsy's BS. Christopher Booker, Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation. Clive Crook, Financial Times, the stink of intellectual corruption. Ah yes, the "scientists" at the University of East Anglia threw their original data in the trash. The dog ate their homework before a FOIA request.
