Here are two perspectives on the Climate Gate scandal.  First a brilliant piece of satire by Jon Stewart that although quite funny, shows how serious the scandal is.  Then an analysis by the lawyers from Powerline who look at the case from a legal perspective.  Frankly both pieces are devastating.

In the prior 3 months, they report, job losses had averaged 135,000 a month. Averaging job losses over a three month period makes the 135,000, as bad as it is, [...] ]]> http://www.blognetnews.com/arizona/go.php?http://howastute.blogspot.com/2009/12/electric-car.html Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:15:00 -0500 http://howastute.blogspot.com/2009/12/electric-car.html Number of comments: 0

By Emil Franzi, Reprinted from The Explorer
