Climate Change Coverup News (Further Update)

Whilst the BBC's report on the UEA Climate Research Centre hack refers just to the hacking and makes no reference to the deceit uncovered, they do fin the space to report yet another shock-horror story about the claimed effects of higher CO2 levels. This time the scare story is that:
"Ocean acidification could cause fish to become "fatally attracted" to their predators, according to scientists.

A team studying the effects of acidification - caused by dissolved CO2 - on ocean reefs found that it leaves fish unable to "smell danger". "

Meanwhile The Telegraph do at least report the real story thus:
"Climate scientists accused of 'manipulating global warming data' - Some of the world’s top climate scientists have been accused of manipulating data on global warming after hundreds of private emails were stolen by hackers and published online."

This report includes one of the clips that I referred to yesterday:
"One of the emails under scrutiny, dated November 1999, reads: "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline.""
and the unsurprising news that
"Scientists who are alleged to be the authors of the emails in question have declined to comment on the matter. "
This story must not be allowed to wither away as the BBC hope, so keep pushing the story folks...
