GUEST TIA: I'm with you! I believe the discovery of the emails written from some scientist researchers to others may be just the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended).

A lot of money rides on the truth, and I fear that it might not be impossible to determine what the "real truth" is. Those who strongly believe in the "favored" findings by many (but certainly not all)researchers appear anxious to squelch any findings that are contrary to the "accepted" ones. Skeptics, like me, are derided even for questioning the dire projections. Note: if they could accurately forecast the weather six weeks in advance, to say nothing of a hundred years, I think their forecasts of gloom and doom might have more credibility.

Congressional investigations are being launched to attempt to get to the bottom of the leaked emails. I say right on!

As others have pointed out, a lot of cost will be required to adhere to the "fixing" of the problems world wide if the "crepe hangers" are correct. However, one should also consider the amount of research dollars being paid to the scientific researchers will lose should they be proven wrong. They DO have a dog in the hunt.
