… and there were no independent investigations into Climategate, either!
97% Nonsensus chef John Cook writes:
Most climate conspiracy theories derive from a batch of private emails stolen from the University of East Anglia in 2009. The conspiracy theories are generally constructed by taking quotes out of context to imply a nefarious plot by climate scientists to falsify data. However, since the theft of the emails, nine independent enquiries by government and university bodies in the UK and USA have scrutinised the emails. Every single investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing by climate scientists.
If the emails were taken out of context, why didn’t the warmists release all of them in their entirety so the context would be obvious?
They never did find who “stole” those emails. The fact that they were “stolen” doesn’t negate the content.
“Most climate conspiracy theories derive from a batch of private emails stolen . . . in 2009.” Did the author forget about the second batch released in 2011, which were even more damaging?
