If what you're saying is true, this is truly frightening. It's surreal looking at Google News and what hits the headlines is the drumbeat towards some type of deal at Copenhagen with this scandal hardly being discussed at all. It's difficult to reconcile the almost dismissive attitude of the general media and this scandal.
What perhaps frightens/annoys me the most is thinking that perhaps politically, some of these people are so invested in AGW that any new data is irrelevant so we will end up spending hundreds of billions if not trillions trying to deal with a problem that may end up not even to exist. Personally I think a lot of the changes in technology and energy usage favor reductions in greenhouse emissions and this should happen regardless, but some of these other massive costs...
I guess we'll see in coming days which narrative wins out - that nothing is done and is as irrelevant as the media thinks or the mainstream media begins covering the story grudgingly only because competing forces in governments (ie congressional investigations / investigations) make it impossible not to.
