They say the emails prove the crisis is overblown and are crowing about one in particular, from 1999, in which a scientist plans to add a "trick" to a graph...http://www.newser.com/story/74556/climate-skeptics-hacked-emails-prove-were-right.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagSat, 21 Nov 2009 10:37:33 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/73764/surfer-dudes-theory-of-everything-may-school-science.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScience needs more people like Garrett Lisi, writes Roger Highfield at the Daily Telegraph . Lisi kitesurfs on Maui, lives in a yurt, snowboards at Tahoe—and has wowed physicists with his "theory of everything."
