Screw that wikileaks bs. I trust what they hve to say less than I believe wikipedia.

...as with most of the Wikileaks scandal, there's nothing especially surprising here if you keep up with the news and knows how dirty politics is.

The Guardian, however, has a history of spotty reporting on climate change in general (think BP).

Here,the Guardian reports that scientists made some miscalculations and retracted a peer-reviewed article on sea level rise. They said the retraction indicated there was now no evidence that sea level would rise due to climate change.

They were right that the scientists did retract the article because they made a miscalculation. However, the result of the miscalculation was that they now are unsure about the UPPER LIMIT of sea level rise. Sea level has been rising steadily for decades.
