What do you people think about its implications?

From what I can see, this scandal has been very influential, converting many to "climate change skeptics/deniers". Personally, I don't see how this affects the underlying science of climate change. Yes, it invalidates many of U of East Anglia's research on the topic (if proven to be true), but there are still plenty of other research into this phenomena. To use an analogy of someone else, if a fossil is found to be fabricated, it does not invalidate evolutionary theory, it simply means that particular fossil cannot be used anymore.

What do you think?
