ABC News Climate Change Rhetoric and Climategate Emails

ABC News, led by Diane Sawyer, reports that 2012 was the hottest year on record in the U.S., using "apocalyptic" imagery from Australian wildfires. The hosts deconstruct the report's alarmist language and contrast it with leaked emails from the Climategate scandal, which they claim show scientists conspiring to hide data and silence dissenting views.
