Given yesterday’s and today’s weather here in the Mile High City, it only seems fitting to write about the latest in the Climategate fallout. Two quick Thursday reads:

• Our own hometown journalist David Harsanyi explains clearly why we have a reason to be skeptical
• The Wall Street Journal‘s Bret Stephens says if you want to understand why scientists were so eager to quash dissent, and manipulate and throw out data: “Follow the Money”
• The Washington Times reports that a Competitive Enterprise Institute scholar is pushing hard for NASA to release its raw climate data, too

While you ponder the obnoxious deception of it all and the opportunity for a backlash to help set things aright, don’t forget to bundle up today.
