There has been one investigation and another pending investigation into the Climatic Research Unit at the East Anglia (widely recognized as one of the world's leading institutions in the study of climate change) that proves Professor Phil Jones, director of CRU, and other researchers withheld and changed data that discredits man-made global warming.

The proof came in 2009 when hackers accessed a server used by the CRU and posted over 1,000 emails and more than 2,000 documents showing evidence that the scientists has conspired and manipulated data showing man-made climate change isn't happening.

As to Rick Perry's "conversation" with the child, I was very proud of Perry's manner and demeanor while addressing the child. He got down eye-to-eye with the child and was polite and answered him. I can't say as much for a mother who would set up her child and stage this sort of thing, prompting the child to ask questions about evolution versus creationism.
