Re: maybe it's not over- climategate

As a climate skeptic, these sorts of e-mails really pain me. WND is a right-wing fringe site, anything from that site 
hurts the skeptics argument, not helps it. There is no "signal" at that site.

The leaked e-mails prove there is no conspiracy or hoax. The prove that these scientists have lax scientific 
standards/ethics, not that they are intentionally manipulating data. The "trick to hide the decline", for example, was 
a very well-known/public technique to deal with the tree-ring divergence problem. It's crappy science, skeptics have 
criticized it for years, but its not a conspiracy or hoax.

They clearly chose the start/stop dates of their graph to produce an artificial cooling trend. It's exactly the same 
technique, except in reverse, that Gore used in his movie.
