MATT PATTERSON: Climategate proves scientists are – gasp! – human. “The lesson is simple: Just because experts say it’s so, don’t necessarily mean it’s so. They are subject to prejudices of heart and errors of logic like every other human being. . . . The emails also show AGW scientists conspiring to smear those who disagree with their apocalyptic diagnosis of the planetary temperature, and discussing with one another how to hide or minimize contrary evidence and evade lawful requests for their data.”

It’s funny because the press has done its best to ignore or minimize the Climategate scandals, but the polls demonstrate that the public has found out anyway.
