These are hard times for climate scientists who want government action on global warming. Not only has the Copenhagen summit largely produced discord, but an embarrassing public release of private e-mails exposed attempts by a group of climate scientists to hide scientific evidence that didn’t conform to their beliefs or pronouncements. <\/p>\n

As CBS News put it, the scandal, called “Climategate,” is “casting doubts on the very science on which this summit is based.” In a widely noted Washington Post column, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin argued, “the documents show that there was no real consensus” among climate scientists. And a new ABC News poll finds that only 29% of the public now place “a lot” of trust in what scientists say about the environment.<\/p>\n

The question of whether there is a scientific consensus on human-induced global warming has long inspired heated debate among both scientists and politicians. The most recent assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change describes global warming as “unequivocal” and “very likely” caused by human activity. But skeptics have argued that the IPCC, which is tasked by the United Nations with evaluating the risks of climate change, is itself influenced by political considerations and “pre-conceived agendas.”
