I fear you are being too kind Charlie. A calm reasoned reaction and call for newer more rigorous science is all well and good and that is certainly required at this point–there are still many unanswered questions about climate data, its inherent validity, variables and their interactions/relationships, causes and causal significance, methodologies and etc. The real issue, however, is not just the flawed science but the dishonesty and the political malfeasance that so easily resulted. It is the scientific scandal of the century certainly but the political extension (by politicians, bureaucrats, and the self-serving elite) has been absolutely criminal and corrupt. It is despicable at best, and the punishment should be severe.
