We thought Climategate might bring down the bogus anthropogenic global warming movement. The email scandal has certainly done some damage, but the mainstream media has been playing the emails down. The recent evidence that many of the claims included in the UN IPCC 2007 report (Netherlands underwater, Himalayan glaciers melting, Amazon rain-forest disappearing) were based on bad science. This may be the straw that broke the anthropogenic global warming movement's back. Some analysts are already pronouncing the global warming movement dead.
“The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,” the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says in his blog on The American Interest. It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics.
