Here the WSJ provides a megaphone for the hackers who selected and distorted the messages off the hacked web site. The focus is all on the shouting, with no scientific analysis of climate change included.

Solid background on this story. Better than the Washington Post piece (linked).

It is a shame that our memories are so short and falible that we repeatedly and exponentially fall prey to media's myopic lens the nearer we get to an event like the climate-change summit. While it is crucial to base policy decisions on science rather than public opinion, I think this rarely (if ever) happens and Keith Johnson bolsters his lens to us just in time to sell news without analyzing the motives of the "hackers", the sample size of the scientists in question, and finally leading the reader to a guilty verdict for all such climate change scientists fulfilling the prophecy Johnson set for us. Yet, here we are focusing on the Johnson filter instead of doing the math.
