“• What is the current scientific consensus on the conclusions reached by Drs. Mann,Bradley and Hughes? [Referring to the hockey stick propagated in UN IPCC 2001 by Climategate Michael Mann.]
Ans: Based on the literature we have reviewed, there is no overarching consensus on MBH98/99. As analyzed in our social network, there is a tightly knit group of individuals who passionately believe in their thesis. However, our perception is that this group has a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism and, moreover, the work has been sufficiently politicized that they can hardly reassess their public positions without losing credibility.”
AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE ‘HOCKEY STICK’ GLOBAL CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION, also known as The Wegman report was authored by Edward J. Wegman, George Mason University, David W. Scott, Rice University, and Yasmin H. Said, The Johns Hopkins University with the contributions of John T. Rigsby, III, Naval Surface Warfare Center, and Denise M. Reeves, MITRE Corporation.

The noise you hear is the sound of so many people plugging their ears right now. Had this kind of leak happened from lets say, Exxon, the proponents would be leading a choir, singing to the rafters about how the guilty must pay. Now, the attacks are against the proposed hacker, or more likely, disgruntled climate scientist who leaked the data.
Especially the computer source code that has comments like “Fudge the data right here so it matches what we want the data to look like.”
