The present argument over climate scientist emails is interesting in that they are saying that releasing them would corrupt the scientific method. Nonsense. Exposing the discussion will only expose the doubts AND the evidence. Ya know...this IS a trial, and a most important one. The trial is whether climate change is real, what will be the consequences of it, did humans contribute to it significantly, and can humans do anything to improve the outcome. Those emails are the evidence. They expose the weaknesses and the strengths of the evidence. There are potentially huge changes involved...and then maybe not.
I see the western world as very much like a lid to a quart mason jar setting on a table top...surrounded by the mason jars. We, the western world, are like the top. The jars are the billions and billions of 3rd world people (who make less than $2 a day) who need electrical energy. COAL, my friends, the ass kicker source of steam/electrical generation, is the way to get it. The CO2 is coming, Sweetheart!
Citing the terrible consequences of global warming...and maybe not...I think the scientific world should respect our involvement and include us in the discussion. I read the books, but I am coming to the conclusion that a smart person can convince us of anything if we are willing to leave the interpretation of the "evidence" to them in their secrecy. See what I am getting at? The emails matter. This world can fall apart if we cannot trust the politicians and scientists.
