Climate change Skeptics baffled by CNN converage of "climategate"

Today, CNN continued coverage of the hacked email messages calling into question one of several lines of evidence in support of human-caused climate change. Skeptics note that tree ring data does not fit past climate fluctuations and other climate proxies and thus all of human induced global warming evidence falls.

Climate skeptics on the well-known mental health support forum known as "IH" reported: "Despite llittle evidence, we knew that human caused global warming was a crock of shit cooked up by scientists world-wide to destroy our economy and line the pockets of the third world and inventors of the solar espresso machine".

But when CNN covered the story, it was a severe blow to their other deeply help conspiracy belief that the liberal media would never report the hacked emails, and were deliberately burying the story because they were in collusion with Al Gore, climate scientists, and the UN panel on climate change to bring down the U.S. economy and enrich tofu-eating, lemon grass-drinking, subway-using tree huggers.

"It is confusing" reported one contributor going by the moniker Noovus, "I may have to go back to just selectively forgetting what I have read to deal with the apparent contradiction of the vast conspiracy I know in my gut to exist.

Mars S, a long-time contributor stated "Scientists have shown us that the earth is a dynamic place and undergoes natural cycles". When prodded to explain why those same-said scientists also provided evidence that human impacts add to the natural signal, he noted that "sometimes, scientists are wrong...particularly when they run awry of my preconceived notions on the subject....it isn't warming, and even if it is, it is natural and animals will adapt or die...there is nothing we can do about it even if we are the cause".

Ponder, an intermittent poster, noted that today, in the middle of Tennessee, it was very cold and they had to buy a new space heater. "Where is global warming now?" she asked "Here, right where I am...today?"
