Ten years of stolen e-mails from the Climatic Research Unit in the UK give an inside peek at conversations among climate scientists. Do these conversations let society off the hook?  Can we relax a bit knowing that even the climate scientists themselves are not absolutely sure of our role in creating a warmer world?  In Washington, the House of Representatives passed an energy bill that puts a price on the production of carbon dioxide.  The Senate is now considering several variations on this bill. In these economic hard times, should we be putting a price on carbon?  The Union of Concerned Scientists just finished a study of the impact of predicted climate changes on us here in Indiana.  Their predictions from careful analysis of climate models are astonishing. So is it despair or euphoria?
