I had been having trouble getting a good idea of everything that had  
happened with this whole Climategate thing, thank you for sending out  
this great summary!

Honestly, it is a travesty that these "scientists" will end up doing  
so much harm to what is an actually important area of science (if not  
in the short-to-medium term). The three, Mann and the two others that  
were abundantly poltiical, need to be driven out of the field by the  
rest with hockey sticks, haha.

And, seeing this, it makes me far more skeptical about man-made global  
warming/climate change than I was before all this. I believed,  
honestly, that scientists do not do this, that we (and I say we  
because I am a physics major and intend to be a physicist) were  
better. And that the ones that behave badly couldn't go very far,  
because the mechanisms of the profession would correct them out of  
existence. But apparently not, at least in some cases.

I didn't realize that natural scientists were "at least" liberal (in  
the American sense). I realized man of them were (I was a socialist  
for a long time because I wanted the economy to be planned and  
organized like machines and instruments, oh how foolish I was). But I  
didn't realize it was nearly universal. Interesting. Well, at least I  
won't be part of that "group-think"!
