Climategate, one more time.
My personal position, as I have said before, is that anthropogenic climate change is likely a reality, though I don't think anyone has good numbers on its extent, or on our ability to reverse it. What is certain, however, is that the attitudes represented by the below statements are not helpful towards furthering our knowledge and that reasonable people should question the data that such scientists have produced.
"I've tried hard to balance the needs of the science and the IPCC , which were not always the same."(http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/emails.php?eid=794).
"I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is !"(http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/emails.php?eid=419).
"If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences."(http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/emails.php?eid=544)

Courtesy of Marginal Revolution, here are some amazing pictures by Chinese artist Liu Bolin. He paints himself. Unfortunately the Chinese government apparently doesn't appreciate his skills.

Understanding is hard.
MARGARET WARNER: It’s just hard for a Western audience to understand, when you have the Afghan government, with the help of the international community, established this special drug court, with very strict rules of evidence, very strict procedures, they actually make an arrest, they make a prosecution, they sentence these drug traffickers to prison and they’re freed. And they’re connected to somebody close to you.

Understanding is hard.
