Climategategate Update

Remember climategate? Remember the media blitz about leaked e-mails suggesting that the data behind global warming was bogus? Remember how right-wing extremists and corporate interests (if you will pardon the redundancy) roared about "leftist, anti-business agenda"? Remember how these e-mails were leaked to a then little-known whistle-blower named Julian Assange? Remember how this cause was championed by an infamous "eccentric" in Britain with deep ties to that country's intelligence community? If so then you will remember Lord Monckton.

Here's a piece which you should read if for no other reason than it's amusing. Beyond that this is a fine example of how the corporate/intelligence/media complex exculpates itself from its crimes against humanity. All the blame for the obviously deceitful news then being broadcast is now being placed on the shoulders of the messenger. It was all that crazy Lord Monckie, don't you know...
