If the system at large wasn't working the way it was supposed to, you wouldn't have any fodder for "climategate." The information is coming out, isn't it? As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to be concerned about here.-That's not an answer. Unless someone had squealed, leaking the emails, the skeptics would still be ranting something is wrong; instead the whole edifice is falling apart. Without the leak, where are we? Sorry, don't buy your offhandedness.
