The ABC finally, finally, acknowledges the CRU leaks with a slot on Lateline (hosted by arch ABC alarmist Tony Jones). And whilst they do interview Andrew Bolt, they wheel out Andy Pitman, another hysterical alarmist, to pooh-pooh everything in the material (even the threats to destroy data, which Pitman excuses as reasonable behaviour when confidentiality agreements are in place – utter nonsense of course). And the presenter of the segment is none other than the author of the dire ABC Copenhagen Blog, Margot O’Neill, so of course, she gives the last word to Pitman.

UPDATE: The ABC then goes overboard and give an entire article to Australian Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery, to flannel his way out of the fix the warmists are in:
Climate change sceptics are hailing the emails as proof the research data has been skewed and suppressed.
But Dr Flannery says the scientific community knows enough to say greenhouse gases cause global warming, and that humans are responsible.
“The thing is we deal with an incomplete understanding of the way the Earth’s system works, we know enough to say as the IPCC said that greenhouse gases cause warming,” he said.
“They are 90 per cent-plus sure that it’s caused by humans, we can go that far.
“In the last few years, where there hasn’t been a continuation of that warming trend, we don’t understand all of the factors that creates Earth’s climate, so there are some things we don’t understand, that’s what the scientists were emailing about.”
Admitting you don’t know everything there is to know about the climate? That must hurt.
