But what's described in the Newsweek story <i>is</i> an organised campaign of denial
I read this link with interest. What is missing is the corresponding analysis of the global warmers funding and backers. Science in the States is not an altruistic operation. While many Universities have pure science as their aim, they do rely on sponsored funding and that always seems to have had political ramifications.
Simple example: to look at global warming seems to suggest one solution is to swap to biofuels so large corporations including the petroleum industry are funding research and buying up productive land for this rather inefficient use producing plants for fuel rather than plants for food.
I'm with Freeman Dyson on this - there is a need for "heretical" thought (& not supported by the antiglobal warmer lobby either). And having seen the NASA corrected data and graphed it - the "hockey stick" no longer looks curved - but that isn't stopping the ongoing use of the first pictures. It is not as inconsequential as you suggest.
