Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout
An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of the recent release of thousands of private files and emails after a server of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia was hacked, Prof. Phil Jones is stepping down as head of the CRU. Prof. Michael Mann, another prominent climate scientist, is also under inquiry by Penn State University."
That's why we need to act NOW to return the glaciers to the same state they were in 30,000 years ago.

You, sir, are old!
The "NOW" has to be pictured with a multi-colored fist raised in anger against the oppressors.
While at it, the humanity also ought to rise against the evil Big Business (as opposite to the beloved "Mom and Pop" shops suffering from Wal-Mart), who contribute to the Continental Drift. Because every time a plane takes off on one continent and lands on another, the continents are pulled farther and farther away from the positions they were in before humanity appeared.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
And there was a giant lake in Missoula Missouri, which periodically broke-through the glacier/ice dam and flooded Washington State (hence the weirdly-carved landscape).
And you, my friend, need to look at a map. Under no circumstances could a lake in Missouri flood the state of Washington. The Rocky Mountains would preclude that.
By the way, Missoula is in Montana.. Nice place, been there a number of times.
This ain't rocket surgery.
Obviously there is plenty of monetary motivation to deny AGW, but what is the motivation to fabricate it? I just don't see it. At best you could say that these scientists were duped into believing that AGW was real and, now that they know the "truth," are trying to hide that they were wrong, but this is far from compelling considering the sheer number of scientists involved all trying to dupe each other.
What am I missing?
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
He was a beta tester for dirt.
They never did get all the bugs out.
Free Martian Whores!
I've heard of dirt. Isn't that one of those grassroots projects?
I also heard it wasn't very secure, had to be root to do anything...
But I guess the effort paid off, since a lot of recent projects have grown out of it.
:P
