re: #135 Aceofwhat?

then there isn’t that much to worry about…

Yes, there is. The danger is not that AGW science as a whole would be misdirected, but that the fraudster might not be caught before the Deniers latched on to him. Give Inquisitors a real witch to ‘prove’ them right and they’ll be even more dangerous and relentless. In the current media age, even losers without any real evidence can gain power simply by piggybacking onto some sort of scandal, because the scandal is what the media will concern itself with.
