Cold Weather Heightens the Amusing Irony of Climategate Scandal Fallout

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.
