When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies. If these e-mails are true this looks like it’s going to be a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of people. Many people have invested a lot of money and time into this issue, from buying new tiny fuel efficient cars to investing a lot of money in green energy businesses. Plus many have their reputations at stake here too. Now that it is starting to look like this whole issue was some kind of hoax, I see two separate groups that may surface here. Those who intended to profit from this politically and financially, and those who are into it for purely environmental reasons. It seems if there is no real causative environmental impact happening, the pure environmentalist should be happy to embrace the truth at this point whereas those who were into it for other reasons may still attempt to spin and re-spin facts and push for further legislation and increased taxes. Another thing to consider is now that it has become a political issue and is at the global center of attention a lot of people are going to look like they were participating in something that was a fraud and a deception. Yet I’m sure many of them had no idea they were being mislead and should not be lumped in with the perpetrators of the deception, if it ultimately proves to be a deception.

"Now that it is starting to look like this whole issue was some kind of hoax..." Or maybe, this is actually a small piece of erroneous data within a larger body of evidence. Meaning; yes it's awful, but it's not as significant as some would like to think. The idea that these goings on invalidate the research of thousands of independent groups is _ridiculous_. People need to look at the bigger picture, not just the parts that validate thier preconceptions. That goes for anyone, within _any_ debate.
