Climate change "smoking gun" is nothing close to that

Fox News had a big headline today, that climate change had been disproved due to "secret emails" that had been found by a hacker. Is this true? Not even close. The email in question was basically talking about changing the presentation of a graph in order to make it look more convincing, from a visual perspective. Is this a questionnable tactic? Yes. Is it unethical? Possibly. But does it blow out of the water the millions of observations made over the past 30 years? Hardly.
