Arguably the greatest damage to the credibility of scientists and the future of mankind has been achieved at a single stroke by the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. Not only have raw data on world climate been destroyed in an unparalleled act of vandalism but the 'corrected' data have been massaged to portray a less ambiguous picture of the warming of our planet.
As a result, the reputation of all scientists has been tarnished and the value of many major infrastructure projects will be called into question. Decisions on energy production will now be based on wild political assertion rather than fact and scientists presenting the risks and benefits of competing energy systems will be dismissed for manipulating the facts to their own ends.
Perhaps it's time to consider going off-grid, seeking high ground and becoming self-sufficient?
