I take it you didn't read the articles. It's clear there's no "actual science" involved.

Uhm, the University of East Anglia is perhaps the premier research organization on climate change. Many facts that are commonly cited on the debate were created by the scientists at this University. Furthermore, the scientists were finding "Climate decline" instead of increases, but chose to suppress the evidence in favor of climate increase.

It doesn't, but it definitely sheds light on the business.
