During a debate of the climate warming issue on BBC television Andrew Watson, a professor at the University of East Anglia, told the BBC host moderating the discussion that the controversy surrounding e-mail messages obtained from his school's computers is "a real setback not because there's anything wrong with the science, but because the character assassination and the temperature of the debate which you can just see from our colleague in America is just obsuring the important issue."
Professor Watson denied that there now exists questions regarding the validity of the science of global warming and chose rather to complain about the charcater assasination and heated debate surrounding the leaked emails.
At the end of the interview, Professor Watson summed up his his opinion of crtics of global warming by calling Marc Marano, a global warming skeptic, an "asshole!"
