Climategate "scientist" attacks bloggers
[Former Director of East Anglia University's Climate Research Unit Phil] Jones said he might submit a correction to Nature. But he nonetheless attacked bloggers and other critics for "hijacking the peer-review process... Why don't they do their own [temperature] reconstructions? If they want to criticise, they should write their own papers," he said.
Remember, this is the same guy who conspired to keep his data and methods secret from valid FOIA request by people who were trying to do exactly that.
This stuff is all over the foreign press. Even lefty outfits like The Guardian in the UK are covering it.
Yet it is still essentially embargoed as news here in the United States while the Cap and Trade folks are trying to figure out how to slip some sort of job-killing carbon tax in under the wire.
And like they are trying to do with ObamaCare.

You know, IowaHawk reproduced the "Hockey stick" graph with a subset of temperature data from NASA, and then a random matrix of numbers generated in an excel spreadsheet.
It's my understanding that people are suing NASA under the FOIA to get that data.
I was a champion of NASA but no more. Privatize it. Dump that power-mad statist.
You have the monopoly on uesful information-aren't monopolies illegal? ;)

They can't pass Cap-n-Tax so they're trying to get the EPA to do it by regulation, and by executive order. The good thing about executive order is that it's easier to overturn than a law, but requires of course a new executive. Which I sincerely hope we have.
Virginia has also done what Texas has done, and that is to ask the EPA just what is so harmful about the "greenhouse" gasses."
Now if other states will just bury the Feds in a flurry of lawsuits...
