It's much more fallacious to discount the overwhelming scientific consensus on global warming because of one scientist's character.

A virtual army of teabaggers combing over this data and all they could find was one marginal case of cooking the data? I'm more confident than before.

Also -- it's not fallacious to point out historical bias by the author when discussing a partisan issue. It's additional information to be taken into account.

EDIT: Partisan downrate? Please, people, go to redstate.com or something if that's how you feel.
