Laudamus te domine This from one month ago I think Climategate should be reserved for an article discussing the perception of scientific scandal its dimensions and the denials of same It will have the advantage of the ability to incorporate other events of similar nature such as the China UHI revelation the pruning of world temperature stations from 6000 to 1500 the Darwin Australia homogenization New Zealand s National Institute of Water Atmospheric Research NIWA data adjustments NOAA s adjustments to Central Park data and others and any further events that may transpire The other article the residual of this current should preserve the discussion of the origin and compilation of the file and of the release hacking leaking liberation of the documents and any legal proceedings or ramifications which may ensue It may not have the legs of the Climategate article and with luck should not attract anywhere near as much partisanship and umbrage
