Unethical Behavior - 'Climate-gate'

This link to FoxNews contain many quotes from the hacked documents of prominent climate researchers. Even as a believer that global warming is taking place, I certainly find many of the quotes presented as sound examples of unethical behavior. The following quote sums up the suppression of skeptical views:

"Other emails refer to efforts to exclude contrary views from publication in scientific journals. Pat Michaels, a climate scientist at the Cato Institute, told The Wall Street Journal: "This is what everyone feared. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for anyone who does not view global warming as an end-of-the-world issue to publish papers. This isn't questionable practice, this is unethical."" (bold type by me). Bill
