That is one fine piece of excellent journalism. With the global warming issue it’s so easy to take on side or the other but you have probably would be perfect for the history books. Good job! History WILL however see this era of environMENTALism as proof that man is a fallible animal and evolving ever so slowly. Fearing the unknown seems to go in 2000 year cycles. Life is good so I say we preserve protect and respect Nature instead of trying to save and rescue it from a non existent enemy of CO2 poisoning.

"The Tory party in the UK, and the Republicans in the US had a heyday and immediately went to work selling the hackneyed story that global warming was nothing more than a bogeyman created by the whining liberals as yet another excuse to raise taxes and enforce government control upon the unsuspecting masses." If only. The Tory party has stuck rigidly to the 'consensus' despite there being no causal evidence of man made global warming, only correlation. If you get basic facts like that wrong in your attempt to make this is left-right issue, one wonders what other inaccuracies are contained in your ramblings.

Unanimous? All this politics mixed in with this is only proving an underlying agenda. Emails never existed because a parliamentary commission whitewashing everyone? Remember!!! THEY ADMITTED THEY LIED AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE EMAILS!!!!!!!!! prove nothing? What is proven is news outlets, people, and politics will stop at no end to manipulate minds of others to further agendas. Global Warming is an AGENDA. Now we have Greenpeace threatening to break the law and attack those who aren't following their beliefs. Great, but we aren't the hypocrites like Al Gore living in a 20 room mansion telling other people they need special light bulbs and to be audited on their lifestyles. All for a Carbon TAX scheme they cooked up to get rich from.

You really are so very much misinformed. "So where is the scientific community’s public-relations machine to trumpet the news of their innocence to the world?" Quite simply they were not innocent. They will keep fairly quiet about it because they know they are very vulnerable. The parliamentary committee were not qualified to examine the scientific data and did not do so. The makeup of the committee was designed to ensure the right result because the UK government has so much of UK taxpayers money involved in this that they can't allow any dissent. You are totally wrong about the Tory party. They had nothing to say about the e-mails because they try to outdo the Labour party in false greenery. CO2 is not pollution, pollution is not global warming, dust storms in China are not global warming. The ignorance in your piece is quite dreadful. "as sea levels continue to rise"? What evidence are you quoting here? There is plenty of evidence to show there has been no acceleration of sea level rise over the last century and nothing untoward is happening. Just because Rahmstorf tries to tell it otherwise with his models, doesn't make it so.

AGW has taken a long walk off a short peer. Your article is full of the same AGW political propanganda that the socialist frauds in the MSM, academia and government have been trying to peddal. Thanks to the emails the AGW scam is falling apart faster than al gore can side step a debate. We must defund IPCC and then prosecute the frauds.

This article reads like it was written by a semi educated student. How did that get on here? RT- we expect better. NO nepotism please, this isn't the BBC!!

Humans caused global warming?...lol. Global warming has cycled in and out for millions of years. The natural cycle is soon to end. Actually we are now on the brink of the weather cooling. One other thing ....70% of the world is ocean ...when it heats up it releases  CO2. Hint: Global warming may have something to do with sun  and our orbit within the milky way. There are political interests behind the global warming scare. Humans have little to do with it....Hysterical nonsense.

When, really, when can we have a good article based on proven SCIENCE.  Please RT, have someone do an article on Milankovic cycles.  All you have to do, go to Wikipedia, it would be good and plenty enough.  What was theory, is now proven science.   Sun and earth movements, earth's axis and axis wobble are the key, measurable factors determining cycles, their duration, and consequences.   Why not publish what is already known, and that the northern hemisphere has a longer day, resulting in warming.  It is clear that the southern hemisphere is colder, and the idotic measurement of ice does not understand the process of new ice annually shedding most of its gains, while at the same time steadily growing.   So, let us stop DEFENDING the idiotic attempt at creating a soap opera called global warming, to allow banks to warm their way into our wallets --- and have carbon credit trade, along with the derivatives!  Pointing to the POLLUTION is definitely the way to go.  But it will not work.  You will have to point finger here at the CORPORATIONS, because they pollute not just the air, but drinking water, soil, and oceans.  You would have to deal with the Japanese nuclear disaster poisoning Pacific.  And that will not do.  What the corporations and banks want is some schema for scaring the population, preferably to start policing each other for not recycling our newspapers. 

Yes, let us tackle the poisoning of the earth.  And let us face the fact that there is a REAL reason some parts of planet are warmer, others colder.

One didn't need to read past the third word to know the article was BS.

The earth was much warmer in the past with far more CO2 - and there were no humans around in the Jurassic era when biodiversity was probably at its highest.

The current warming trend has been going on since the "Little Ice Age" in the 1600s, although the earth has actually been cooling for the last ten years..
