this article has been cut and pasted in its entirety from another site.
well, not quite in its entirety. you missed out the list of replies and comments at the bottom of the original article, the ones that point out how the whole argument is rubbish. the part that shows how there was never any attempt to hide anything or misrepresent anything and that the ultimate conclusions following this "revelation" are that climate change is just as real as ever.
the part at the beginning about doctors, ulcers and H Pylorii is an interesting attempt at diversion. true science changes only slowly, and only when the change can be well validated and confirmed. scientists would look silly if they jumped instantly on every fashion, but notice how the medical community has now completely shifted its position.
this is very comparable to the scientific communities position on climate change. it has been a concept for many decades. the greenhouse effect has been in our conciousness for a long time, and scientists were reluctant to give it any credence because they had insufficient information and the did not want to look silly for getting mislead by bad data. now the data is mounting, the evidence is convincing and the scientific community is in agreement (broadly) about the reality of climate change.
sorry, but if you want to compare climate change to ulcers, the residual climate skeptics are in the same boat as the doctors today who still say H Pylorii does not exist.
