All over the net, this cache of illegally obtained e-mails are being analyzed by global warming skeptics like myself. What they reveal is a Global Warming community that is deeply concerned that people just are not buying into their hype that the earth is about to burn up. There are discussions about doctoring the numbers to pushing skeptics out from their ranks to how to target certain groups to convince them that GW is real.

While apparently some big media outlets are picking up the story, I ultimately believe that this story is going to get played down pretty quick by MSM. Why? Because there has been too much money put behind GW. All the “green” talk out there is not going to get flushed because of these emails. But couple these e-mails with the fact that we have been in a visible cooling trend for a few years now and it is going to make it that much more difficult for GW believers to make the sale. That is exactly why we are hearing about all these foolish studies telling us how GW is disproportionately affecting Blacks (but somehow Whites are naturally able to protect themselves) , causing women to enter prostitution, etc. If that wasn’t bad enough, remember how we were hearing (and still are) how “green” jobs will help lift Blacks and Hispanics out from poverty and unemployment? When it reached to that level, I knew then popular opinion on the issue was on the decline. These emails just confirmed it.
