Remember that this is not an academic exercise. We contemplate outlays
of trillions of dollars to fix this supposed problem. Can I read these
emails and feel that the scientists involved deserve to be trusted? No,
I cannot. These people are willing to subvert the very methods--notably,
peer review--that underwrite the integrity of their discipline. Is this
really business as usual in science these days? If it is, we should
demand higher standards--at least whenever "the science" calls for a
wholesale transformation of the world economy. And maybe some
independent oversight to go along with the higher standards.

Now the challenges are coming from even the GW believers. Shoddy science is shoddy science.
