One thing is for sure -- science is not done by an industry-bankrolled organisation illegally hacking into a database and cherry-picking exactly which out of context tiny pieces of a huge effort they can misconstrue, and then sitting on them until they can be released for maximum propagandistic effect.

I agree with you about the intransigence of certain proponents of some of the global warming theories, but this East Anglia will certainly turn out to be nothing more than a tempest in a teapot.

I will go with my own personal observations of receding glaciers, and what I hear from my friends who live in Arctic Canada who are aghast at the rapid changes their surroundings are going through. The Inuit hunters can't head out on the ice to hunt any more, the Inuktitut language has to make up dozens of new words every year for new plants, insects, birds, and animals that have never been seen up there before, and most every community is busy planning where they will have to rebuild once the permafrost that used to support the buildings is completely gone. A nurse I know lost her house in Iqaluit this summer for that very reason.

As with the inhabitants of islands nation like Tuvalu and the Maldives that inexorably disappearing under the oceans, for the people who live in the Arctic this is not some abstract theoretical/ideological debate.
