And that is the biggest problem with this. Now people just will not trust science anymore. Scientists are not an organized bunch of people with a common agenda. Just because these idiot messed up does not mean all science is discredited. Instead of ignoring data and not trusting science, lets be skeptical of new data and look for evidence to support or disprove conclusions. Only when we have evidence can we label something as true or false. In this case, the evidence has been tampered with, but it does not mean that all of global warming or all science is false. Lets look at it rationally. Without science and reason our society will fall apart.
