Today, Gretchen Carlson wished everyone a “Happy Earth Day,” and then proceeded -- along with co-host Brian Kilmeade and Media Research Center's Brent Bozell -- to bad-mouth climate scientists. Today, of all days, the Fox & Friends crew decided to spread more falsehoods about “Climategate.”

First of all, there is no excuse for this, because these lies have been debunked for months. Carlson claimed the apparently stolen emails “expos[ed]” that “scientists held back data that discredits theories on global warming.” Kilmeade suggested one scientist's use of the word “trick” means he manipulated data. Bozell said the emails show “there were campaigns to manipulate the data in their favor. There was a campaign to destroy evidence that would go against them, to manipulate that evidence.”

Then, in a stunning display of hypocrisy, they actually criticized other networks -- namely ABC News and NBC News -- for bias in their coverage of “Climategate” and accused them of ignoring the story.

Know what Fox & Friends ignored and conveniently left out of their Earth Day segment? Three separate official inquiries have found there is no evidence that the scientists at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit manipulated or falsified data.

Carlson owes Mother Earth a retraction.
