Science Made Stupid
The thing with trust must be exquisitely frustrating for the chicken-little “scientists.” Yes, the trust is there — until they seize it, then it is not. The minute they start in with their “who ya gonna believe, me, a REAL SCIENTIST, or your lyin’ eyes?”…everyone with an I.Q. north of an overripe cantaloupe, for some inexplicable reason, stops listening. -- House of Eratosthenes Climategate: Three of the Four Temperature Datasets Now Irrevocably Tainted
The warmist response to Climategate -- the discovery of the thoroughly corrupt practices of the Climate Research Unit (CRU)-- was that the tainted CRU dataset was just one of four independent data sets. You know. So really there's no big deal. Thanks to a FOIA request, the document production of which I am presently plowing through == and before that, thanks to the great work of Steve McIntyre, and particularly in their recent, comprehensive work, Joseph DâAleo and Anthony Watts == we know that NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) passed no one's test for credibility. Not even NASA's.

Once you have shaken hands with reputation you shall never see her again.
All of that for a mess of pottage?
