I have certainly no doubts that the worlds climate has been affected by humans especially during the past 200 years as industry (and population increase) have certainly contributed to climate change but when climate change and global warming as one and the same its confusing and just not true. Global warming is a theory that the worlds average temperatures are rising as a result of increasing carbon emissions. This
article if the published emails are indeed true (which I have no reason to doubt if the first one released has already been confirmed) those ringing the panic bell have some serious issues. Climate change and global warming are right now very 'trendy' research opportunities- which the majority of studies based on supporting the claims; So if you are PAID researcher are you going to report data that does not support the group that is supporting you? Of course not (unless you want to be out of a job) And because your research is not double blind you can get the data to say whatever you want (usually 'proving' global warming). And these are people from NASA and several other 'credible' sources. Now the credibility of all the research is essentially zero; so we go from panic mode where we must do something to, well maybe we should do some more research first. Which to me is just horrible; we do need to be more careful on how we pollute the environment and how we burn carbon fuels and we need to be more responsible towards the environment, but now we seriously have a credibility issue and a serious push is going to made by fossil fuel burning and pollution industries and lawsuits starting all over the place none of which will help the environment. Is the moral here that we love our panic driven madness? (Al Gore?) Or that we love our money and lets face it- we know how 'moral' the big banks and Wall Street and the mess they got the economy in, how are these research 'tweaks' unexpected?
