I haven't commented on the uproar over the hacked emails from East Anglia's team studying global warming because it is such a confusing mess I don't know what to think, and don't feel qualified to comment. Here are some links to articles about it: from The Telegraph in the UK, from the New York Times, and another from the New York Times. Jon Stewart also commented on it last night on the Daily Show.

However, I do NOT think the controversy means global warming is not real and not a serious concern. Here is a reference to an article from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on the continuing shrinkage of the glaciers on Mt. Kiliminjaro that is alarming.
