The myths surrounding the apparent lack of correlation between C02 levels and global temperatures have been debunked in this Newscientist article:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11639-climate-myths-the-cooling-after-1940-shows-co2-does-not-cause-warming.html The various false political claims about the hacked East Anglia emails have been refuted in this Pew Center document: http://www.pewclimate.org/docUploads/east-anglia-cru-hacked-emails-12-09-09.pdf As regards how the peer review process and repeated independent replication of results keeps science, as a whole, an honest enterprise in the long run, please see my post in a parallel thread.
