Oh no, Climate-gate!

Fiore puts it well.

I don’t really have much more to say about the ridiculous situation. The SGU did a great job in episode 228 and 227 talking about it. I can’t personally speak authoritatively and I don’t have anything really unique to say other than this: attacking scientists for being grumpy, bitchy humans doesn’t change the preponderance of the data; it just makes the grumpiness and bitchiness feel much more justified. Panting hysteria over the use of the word “trick” may help you shore up your own worldview, but to someone not scrabbling for evidence of a world-wide global warming conspiracy, it starts sounding like sad desperation.
