| NATURE Runs Bitter, Anti-Skeptic Editorial |
| 2009-12-03 |
| ...This paranoid interpretation would be laughable were it not for the fact that obstructionist politicians in the US Senate will probably use it next year as an excuse to stiffen their opposition to the country's much needed climate bill. Nothing in the e-mails undermines the scientific case that global warming is real — or that human activities are almost certainly the cause. That case is supported by multiple, robust lines of evidence, including several that are completely independent of the climate reconstructions debated in the e-mails... This demonstrates NATURE's editorial policy of only publishing "scien-tainment" instead of the truth. |

| #3 No moose, NATURE does not aim to entertain. The British journal that does that is New Scientist. NATURE is part of a publishing group that includes a number of mags. |

| #2 Same old, same old. The vaguest of claims, followed by cherry picking of the evidence. No mention of GHGs, CO2 and the fact southern Hemisphere sea ice has been at record levels for the last couple of years and now icebergs are at the furthest north (in the SH) ever recorded. |

| #1 They're just annoyed about being name-checked in the most embarrassing leaked email, the one about "Mike's Nature trick". |
