What “Climategate” Means for Us

Does the revelation of falsification of carbon dioxide data by renowned climatologists diminish the necessity for radically more “green”, sustainable living? In a word, “No”!

Does the false data on carbon dioxide that created an academic scandal for certain climatologists undermine the case for global warming? Not necessarily, though it certainly causes some conclusions of the most ardent believers in global warming to be regarded as premature, if not called into question. But, did the case and the imperative for more “green”, sustainable living ever depend on the premise of global warming? No! Not if you appreciate the significance of world population trends.
