Is ABC News shameless in ignoring the climategate scandal?

Here's a link to a story posted today on ABC's website which reinforces the global warming theory by citing various scientists and debunking "myths." And yet, not a single word in reference to the climategate scandal which has raised grave concerns about the credibility of the Global Warming scientific community/

Even if you completely buy into Global Warming, and believe that the recently exposed emails do nothing to discredit the theory, shouldn't a world-class news organization at least acknowledge that the story exists? The willful ignorance of the mainstream media is breathtaking. This level of manipulation of the news is worth of Pravda. Your thoughts?

Update:

To Paul Hxyz: You're wrong. This is not the email of "one" scientist that got hacked, it's thousands of emails among and between some of the most noted scientists in the field. To quote the Examiner:

"An analysis of the emails from a veritable who’s who in climate science show that some of the world’s top scientists worked directly against dissenting scientists. The scientists worked to discredit other’s work, oust them from professional organizations, exerted pressure on scientific publications and went so far as to consider pushing an educational institution to review the doctorate of a scientist. The moves appear to go far beyond a scientific debate and read more like a vendetta against dissenting opinions."

The Lame-Stream-Media is trying its best to ignore this, just like they tried with the ACORN scandal.

For those who point out that Bush, Cheney and other conservatives supported man-made global warming, they did so based on the reports of these now discredited scientists. These same scientists (notice that is plural) also did their best to silence the opposing views of other leading scientists.

Even the NY Times confirmed that these thousands of emails were legitimate.

because fox and all of those other mainstream news stations dont really report news. Their job is to distract the pubic from what is actually going on. They will spend 30 seconds on a super important topic, then 2 hours on a monkey that learned how to use a toilet. They aren't news stations. Jane valez mitchell and nancy grace are the worst. All they do is make a horrific tragedy into an amusing money making scam. I get my news online. It's better, and you can get many different countries news. Beware of the fear mongering over the top weirdos though. There are some people that take conspiracy theories to a ridiculous level. Like the guy who thinks the queen, many world leaders and the us president are lizards in human costumes. I have a hard time believing anything he says.

Copenhagen is coming up, can't do anything that would let the masses start to think about this before we sign more of our sovereignty away to the UN. That article said that global warming hasn't slowed down even though earlier this week a report came out that said the earth hasn't warmed in a decade.

The Day Global Warming Stood Still

In an article titled, "Climatologists Baffled By Global Warming Time-Out," author Gerald Traufetter leads off with the observation: "Climatologists are baffled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years." They better figure it out, Der Spiegel warns, because "billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations."

We are told in sad tones that "not much is happening with global warming at the moment" and that "it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year." But how can it be that the earth isn't following all those computer models? Is the earth goddess Gaia herself a climate change "denier"?

The article gloomily notes that a few weeks ago Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research pointed out that the earth had in fact only warmed 0.07 degree Celsius from 1999 to 2008 and not by the 0.2 degree Celsius predicted by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

An even more inconvenient truth, according to the British experts, is that when their figures are adjusted for two naturally occurring climate phenomena, El Nino and La Nina, the resulting temperature trend is reduced to 0.0 degree Celsius. No, that's not a typo.

There will always be people who refuse to acknowledge global climate change. The MSM spends a great deal of time and attention on those person's views and opinions.

However, scientific fact and consensus cannot be ignored. Those who choose to ignore global climate change or who attempt to "debunk" it are welcome to their (often bought and paid for) opinion, but scientists will continue to report the FACTS.

Much ado about nothing - a tempest in a teapot. ONE scientist gets his emails hacked, misrepresented, falsified, etc. and all of a sudden that means that thousands of climate scientists are all liars? You guys need some serious lessons in what the word "logic" means.

Btw: John McCain acknowledges global warming is real - is he a liberal? Or do you have more experience with super-computer modeling of global atmospheric climatology than the guys with the Ph.D. degrees do?
