This diary follows a rumor's spread through the conservative blogosphere. It begins with a story about how a persistent conservative blogger found a minor (but genuine) error in a NASA dataset, and how that error was promptly acknowledged and corrected. This story was told by the original blogger a few days ago, and then retold by other bloggers (with improvements) and again by other bloggers (with more improvements).

By yesterday, we could read on A-List conservative blogs that "global warming hype" is largely derived from a Y2K bug, that the the new information is being suppressed by the media, and that someone had possibly launched an attack on the original blogger's web site to prevent the truth from getting out.

We'll start at the beginning by looking at the underlying science; what the error was, and why it matters. And we'll see how that science got lost in successive retellings, even as sensational (but false) details were added.
