Climategate ignored by Google. Well Al Gore’s a director isn’t he ?

Bing carries it, 62.2 million times.

Hmmmm, how to explain that one ???

Easy. A bunch of young-earth creationist nutters trying to legitimise their non-science by association with real science, which ironically, is being attacked in many cases by the same type of nutty people who believe the nonsense of creationism and the bible stories it springs from.

themono, Except it looks like the Creationists are supporting "global warming".

The Institute for Scriptural Geology in Waco, Texas, today offered “unswerving support and fervent prayers” for the scientists caught up in Climategate. Professor Elmer Moody, director of the institute, told a press conference: “We know what it’s like to have the integrity of our research questioned by unbelievers, so our hearts go out to those good folks at the East Anglican University.

Hmmmm, how to explain that one ???

# Ian Wishart blogs a Rasmussen poll that finds only 25% of Americans think the science on global warming is settled and 59% say some scientists have falsified data to support their own theories and beliefs.

Replace ‘Global Warming’ with ‘evolution’, and that sentence is still about correct. Which is, of course, exactly why majority opinion is not a good basis for good science…

Some red faces at NIWA, surely? Our own Climategate developing here?
This debate is not looking good for our international reputation. It is also prominently mentioned by Monckton in his recent widely distributed review of the Climategate issues.

They don’t mention the adjustments I believe were made to the Lincoln site readings – which can’t possibly have changed altitude. Very odd.

The Climategate this is weird. Ian Wishart pointed it out, but at the time it worked for me (it gave climagegate as a suggestion).

Then it didn’t. Even though I hadn’t done the search.

Then it did.
