From the comments of the LA Times Opinion piece rightly titled After three strikes, is the Climategate scandal out?

Considering all of the evidence that debunks AGW, especially the cooling trend over the last decade, I am very suspicious of these so-called “independent” studies. No one in government or in academia can be trusted to perform an unbiased study. There is too much grant money at stake. Penn State is covering for one of its own. I read a lot of the emails and it is clear that they were conspiring to “prove” their point and blunt all criticism. If the head of the East Anglia group didn’t destroy evidence, then who did. Raw temperature data is missing. AGW theory is based on computer models which have been tweaked to give a wanted result. When the models were fed historical data, they couldn’t even reproduce what actually happened subsequently. It’s all a ruse to take your money and give it to someone who didn’t earn it. The commies have landed in the environmentalist movement.

I guess we should congratulate Alex Jones et. al. Now, only conspiracies can be accepted as truth.
