The coverage of Climategate continues to expand. Amazingly, when searching Google for “climategate”, a term only coined a few days ago, there are 13,400,000 hits compared to 10,500,000 for “global warming.” The graph below from Google Trends also shows a rapid increase in people searching for “Climategate” (top graph, red line) to the point where it already is half the volume of Google searches for “global warming” (blue line). News coverage of Climategate (bottom graph, red line), on the other hand, is still anemic.

You need think about it. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn’t changed.
“The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the Earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,” Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a House committee. She said that the e-mails don’t cover data from NOAA and NASA, whose independent climate records show dramatic warming.
