Monbiot On The Road To Damascus?

Newsflash: Unlike David Aaronovitch (see last post) even the king of self righteousness George Monbiot in his Guardian column accepts that those leaked e-mails don't look good, that scientists have tried to keep data out of circulation and tried to prevent sceptics from having their own reports published.
