The AP Investigates ClimateGate

The Associated Press puts one of their top reporters on the ClimateGate scandal.

LONDON - E-mails stolen from climate scientists show they stonewalled skeptics and discussed hiding data -- but the messages don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked, according to an exhaustive review by The Associated Press.
Ah. Yes. It was a train wreck. But the hazmat crew is cleaning up the toxics and soon everything will be restored to just the way it was before the unfortunate incident. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

OK. I'm moving. So I moved over to Watts Up With That and found out some interesting details about one of the authors of the AP piece. Seth Borenstein. It seems that he was in on the scam as detailed by e-mails he sent to the CRU Team.

I think a call or two into the Associated Press might be in order. You might want to investigate for yourself how some one involved in suppressing information he didn't care for could investigate himself.

It seems to me that many of the MSM's recent "exonerations" of the ClimateGate conspirators are an exercise in foot shooting - their own. Some one should remind the MSM that if the wound is not properly treated it could prove fatal.

Aah, yes. Even though the now-disseminated emails unveil climate scientists to be engaged in fraud, deception, and the deliberate destruction of evidence, must not treat them as whistleblowers. It's a variation on the old lefty trope about one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter -- coined, I believe, by that other preventer of information dissemination Reuters.

One man's whistleblower is another man's email thief.

Huh?
How on earth does that email give evidence of being involved with suppressing evidence?
He notes that Morano is excited about an article that was published, and asks for a reaction. What is wrong with that?

Good question Joe. Perhaps you should follow the links for more details if you have not been following closely.

Clue: that was not the only e-mail with Seth Borenstein either sending or receiving.

Must be right! Last week, it was 20 degrees below zero in the morning. This week, it is 20 degrees above zero. That's a change of 40 degrees. Enormous! It must be global warming. Of course, there are clouds in the sky, a little snow falling now, all of which tends to blanket the earth, unlike the clear skies when it was colder, but do not let these facts stand in the way of good old hysteria. Cannot let a hysterical moment go by when it comes to politics and jockeying for power. claysamerica.com
