A Michael Moore from the other side of the spectrum. Big deal.
Important only is what the professor on the podium said.
"I don't comment on reducted emails presented to me by people whose values I don't trust. I would need to see the whole thing. (...) What I can say is that private communications that people have between each other, are no public documents."
That is not to hide some sensational revelations about the wickedness of cimate scientists. It is to point out that people are more relaxed and speak with a loser tongue in private when being amongst friends of colleagues, than they do when being official about their work. I myself for exmaple have said several times in my life that I would like to kill that certain person. If you would take me literal, you better jail me now.
So far I have not read or heared anything showing me that these emails are anything else than being taken out of context, being edited, misquoted, and specific jargon - or better: ordinary, contemporary language! - intentionally being ignored in order to give the "issue" a twist and fabricate a "scandal" by blowing it up in size and hammering it into people's minds by repeating it to them time and again. It is not about argument. It is about being louder than the other side.
BTW, that film made by the guy has been shreddered by academic critics, I read. No wonder that it is popular with sceptics. I even saw one reference claiming that science was discriminating the man by showing out the scientific flaws in its claims and assumptions. scientific results, or truth - being discrimination? reminds me of the EU's criminalisation of criticising Islam.
