Al Gore has cancelled his $1,209-a-handshake appearance in Copenhagen due to "unforeseen changes" in his programme. Fraser Nelson, writing in The Spectator - a mere 13 days into "Climategate" - is earnestly telling us: "no one can argue that the debate is over." To Earth Day 1970 ... what were they saying then? An interesting perspective on Michael Manncan be found on the same site, by the way.
And you reckon Google isn't bent? It is "visualising" the "climate disaster" for us, we are told, as part of its efforts "to get people to understand what's happening around us." But then, it seems, Google stands to make a mint out of the scare.
Time to call the whole thing off says Michelle Malkin.
CLIMATEGATE THREAD
Says Don Surber in his Daily Mail blog: "Yes, the unforeseen change is that Climategate has proven that everything Al Gore has said about the climate for the last 20 years is horse manure."

I really do not know how we would manage without the MSM keeping us so well-informed.
CLIMATEGATE THREAD
You would think the media and the politicians would learn from experience ... but they never do. Each generation has to learn anew. Nature magazine is unrepentant though. "A fair reading of the e-mails reveals nothing to support the denialists' conspiracy theories," it huffs.
Iain Dale, meanwhile, is finding that those warmists are not very nice.
And then there's Mikhail Gorbachev in The Guardian who tells us that: "The official response to climate change must be recalibrated to the level and urgency of the threat. A new global agreement must be science-based ... ".
Yea, right! Call for Phil Jones ... Phil Jones, are you receiving me?
CLIMATEGATE THREAD
Mr Mohammad al-Sabban, Saudi Arabia's lead climate negotiator, has told the BBC he expects "Climategate" to derail the single biggest objective of the Copenhagen summit - an agreement on limitations on greenhouse gas emissions.
"It appears from the details of the scandal that there is no relationship whatsoever between human activities and climate change," he told BBC News.
This really must be worrying for the little warmist-in-chief, Ed Miliband (pictured), who is railing against "climate saboteurs".
"I do think that we have to beware of the climate saboteurs, the people who want to say this is somehow in doubt, and want to cast aspersions on the whole process," Miliband told reporters. "We are not going to take the easy way out, it would be a profoundly irresponsible thing to do -- the science is clear and settled."
Galloping Beelzebub! What does it take to get through to this man?
He can't put the genie back in the bottle though - Canadian MSM is also waking up. The admirableSmall Dead Animals tells the tale ... and has the best comment yet: "Let them eat carbon"!
