Hammes: Coal Fires & Groupthink

But the story you did not hear about last week is about the fraud perpetrated by various Global Warming enthusiasts, including scientists whose careers apparently depend on the globe warming. Thousands of documents were hacked from the server used by the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The emails and documents show that scientists cheering for Global Warming falsified data, manipulated information and did what they could to discredit critics. They did this to sway politicians and public opinion to their doctrine. In other words, they lied. Big news, one would think. But as of last week only one television network covered the story. The New York Times did one report. One. The Wall Street Journal and Investors Business Daily have reported repeatedly on the story but few newspapers have devoted any space to the news. That’s weird/Dan Hammes, St. Maries Gazette-Record. More here.

Question: Are the media ignoring a significant story re: global warming? Or is the news re: the computer hacking not that major?
