NOT the scientific method, it's nothing but money & publicity grubbing combined with character assassination.
The fact that there has been no increase in global temperatures since 1998 has been a sore spot for the global warming community. The fact that this leak reveals there's actually been a slight (barely significant) cooling that has been hidden from the public and other scientists is appalling.
While I think global warming is happening, whether it is human-mediated is open to discussion... except these assholes don't want it discussed, they just want it accepted. "Believe us, if we could measure thing properly, the data would support us, so we've just changed the data to show that!"
Interestingly, in the last 10 years, the 2 closest planets with dense atmospheres (Venus and Jupiter) have both shown significant, multi-degree celsius, growth in their average temperature. Why hasn't the earth?
