Another inquiry has determined that the “Climategate” scientists’ “rigor and honesty as scientists are not in doubt.” Not that this will slow down attacks on inconvenient science.
Perhaps the biggest lesson illustrated is that when you show know-nothings that they are wrong, it has no effect on their opinions. For an equally good example, read about the “Lenski Affair,” where the scientists had conducted 20 years of rigorous experiments that clearly demonstrated evolution of E. coli in the lab. Evidence just isn’t good enough for zealots.
