Climategate

Generally speaking to be informed on the East Anglia University climate study imbroglio takes a lot of study and background information. The  "Watts Up With That' site provides an extremely useful post by Willis Eschenbach here that helps one understand the controversy without having to spend a huge amount of time getting up to speed on all the background information on this subject.  Boiling it all down to a few sentences (it's necessary to read the whole post by Eschenbach, including the link he recommends and the replies from what appears to be mostly scientific community people) the record of temperature changes from many "stations" around the world, which provides the basis for the AGW claims, have been fudged to make the case.  In addition the EAU scientists have been busily deflecting inquiries under the FOI to provide raw data from the "stations" knowing full well that the data is compromised.  This is an important issue because it goes to the heart of government funded Solyndras and all the rest of the research that is going on to support the pro climate change cabal.  Al Gore is at the heart of this story and he should be very concerned for his cause, all based upon the flawed data provided by the government funded EAU directed study of climate change.
