At least the Canadian’s are getting some mainstream broadcast coverage of Climategate. This piece by Rex Murphy is quite enlightening, and has been viewed more that 25,000 times as of this writing:

Some key comments from the broadcast:

  • “They lost the raw data on which all the models…are based.”
  • “You wouldn’t expect that from a grade 9 science fair.”
  • “Science has gone to bed with advocacy, and both have had a very good time.”

I couldn’t agree more.  I’ve written about high school level science requirements in a previous post:

Scientific method for K-12: a model climate scientists should follow

It’s time for the rest of the mainstream media to wake up and report on Climategate.  Are they journalists, or advocates?
