I don't know much about climate science, or "climategate", so I have no thoughts on that. However, this guy is far from honest. His opening sentence

is followed by putting "global warming" in quotes. I don't see how it has anything to do with FOSS, but I do see what it has to do with politics. Would LXer like to post a rebuttal from someone on the other side? If not, I don't see why it's been posted.
