The blogosphere, (but not the major media) is buzzing with news of the newly-exposed climate fraud. Cybertons (I just made that word up – there are tons of it but all in cyberspace) of emails and other data reveal the alarmists for what they are: GREENBATS!
You can depend, however, on politicians and the doomsayers to try and shoot the messenger by the usual attempts to discredit the data as being contrived and/or make disingenuous accusations against “the deniers.” The general tactic of the left is to make ad-hominem attacks on truth-tellers when they are unable to refute the truth.

- The media will print or broadcast manipulated science with half-truths and invalid conclusions to damage politicians with whom they do not agree
- Politicians seize on these unverified claims in order to blame their opponents
- Uneducated/uninformed people are as gullible as ever

I thought Jonah Goldberg captured the left’s reaction to this news very well:
