You missed the point.
I am glad to see real discussion to find the truth.. I am saying that we should let the scientific discovery and discussions return. No matter where it takes us.
The true scientific process was stifled by those in the global warming community who admittedly worked as a coordinated group in a coordinated effort to launch multi point counter arguments intended to professionally discredit those who challenged their statements on manmade global warming.
It was proven and admitted that they, the group at East Anglia, distributed data, QUESTIONABLE MASSAGED DATA in a few cases, to multiple people in their group so that the multi point rebuttal would be consistent.
That meets the definition:
cabal [ k bl ]
1. group of plotters: a group of conspirators or plotters, particularly one formed for political purposes
2. secret plot: a secret plot or conspiracy, especially a political one
If each scientist had written their own rebuttals based on their own work we would not be having this discussion. The fact that it was a coordinated effort to distribute a consistent argument based on consistent, and sometimes questionable, data is what makes it qualify as a plot.
Accepting the facts is a personal problem you must deal with.
Negative votes means I struck a nerve. Sweet.
