Domain name for controversial “Climategate” sells.
Have you heard about the so-called “ClimateGate” yet? It has been all the buzz in the worldwide media over the past few weeks. It basically involves some not-so-ethical scientists trying to massage climate data to fit their needs.
When the scandal broke, I immediately checked on the domain name. The domain was registered way back in January 2008, long before the current scandal occurred. But the owner has cashed in, selling the domain for $10,099 on Sedo. The buyer is using whois privacy services, but has already set up a site on the domain for “Exposing the false science of global warming, history’s biggest scam”.
Although a notable sale, this was hardly Sedo’s top sale for the week. Those honors go to Made.com, which sold for $130,000. Another big sale was ServCorp.com at $75,000. Zorbing — an adventure sport — sold for $20,000. Note the strong sale of OfficeBuilding.info at $10,000 as well.

The owner of “climategate” definitely has a political point of view.

No,
History’s biggest scam is 9/11. And that will be very apparent in the coming years.
