Climategate's Strategic Significance

The significance of climategate has been underestimated.
1. The "progressive" movement worldwide, including political parties, is inextricably linked to the theory of man-made global warming.
2. So too the Democratic party specifically.
3. And the mainstream media, MSM, has been pushing the theory hard for over a decade.

When man-made global warming is finally recognized by the public to be false the credibility of all of these groups/parties/institutions will be severely undermined. Even NASA's and NOAA's credibility are in jeopardy.
The stakes in the battle over Climategate and man-made global warming are tectonic.
