Michael, I've not yet seen evidence you've described as "the falsification of data", but I'm open to seeing it. I assume you're talking about claims regarding the CRU stolen emails and documents. Assuming so, and assuming you've not already seen them, you might find the conversations at realclimate.org interesting. Myself, I found them both informative and reassuring with regard to the "falsification of data" charge. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/11/the-cru-hack/#more-1853 http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/11/the-cru-hack-context/
So far, I don't see this as a "Boy Who Once Cried Wolf" story. I currently see it more like Hobbesian, agenda-fed mass hysteria.
