Climategate's Final Days

The Bad Astronomer writes "Climategate may be on its way out. An investigatory committee at Pennsylvania State University has formally cleared climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann of any scientific misconduct. Mann was central in the so-called Climategate scandal, where illegally leaked emails were purported to indicate examples of scientists trying to cover up any lack of global warming in their data. This finding by the committee (PDF) is another in a series of independent investigations that have all concluded that no misconduct has occurred."

Maybe, just maybe...

You obviously pay very close attention. Kudos for your attention to available information.

You display your astounding ignorance of the concepts of religion, nutjobs, and proof.

Ironic, really.

Re:'Science' as religion

[Anonymous Coward]

A lot of people around here mock religion but blindly follow and believe anything they perceive to be 'scientific.'

We ought to invent a new religion with the root "scient" in its name. I predict that this religion would be viewed very favorably by Slashdot users.

who have you ever heard say that humans are the only thing affecting climate? [...] from deniers mis-characterizing their opponents.

You answered your own question: Very efficient.

can you apply some of your good old common-sense reasoning to the search for the Higgs boson?

Have you looked under the couch cushions?

where I work is a place where people regularly hang pictures of Obama and Pelosi in their offices.

Seriously? Look, Obama I can see. Not that I agree with that sort of thing but his is a charismic, photogenic personality.

But Nancy Pelosi? Where exactly do you work? Hell?
