Pretending the climate email leak isn't a crisis won't make it go away | George Monbiot | Environment | guardian.co.uk
I can't believe George Monbiot cannot see the harm he is doing in his columns about "climategate". Someone slap him in the face and tell him to pull himself together.
Again today he has a column in which he complains that it is a major crisis damaging not the truth of climate science, but the appearance of climate science.
Yet by doing that, he provides for fodder for selectively quoting skeptics (like Andrew Bolt) to support their claim that it is a crisis of the truth of the science.
George, yes it may be a bit of a PR problem, but you're not helping by continuing to write in ways that let skeptics feed off you. Stop running around shouting "Panic!...Don't panic!...Panic!...Don't panic"
