Bear in mind that many of these authors/bloggers are on the right side of the political spectrum. Here's my take:
1. On global warming: I'm perfectly willing to accept the pronouncements of the consensus of scientists.
2. On anthropogenic global warming: Prior to all of this I was perfectly willing to accept the pronouncements of the consensus of scientists. Now I'm suspicious.
3. On catastrophic anthropogenic global warming: Like Glenn Reynolds says, "I'll believe it's a crisis when the people who keep telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis."

I think I agree about becoming worried when the people who tell me it's a crisis start acting like it is a crisis. You know, no jetting around in private planes or Al Gore creating a bigger carbon foot print then the rest of his hometown combined.

And a few emails don't change the fact that pumping gigatons more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is still a problem.
For an analysis on the reasoning around the New Zealand wing of climategate see NIWA, Climategate and Evasive Fallacious Answers. Like you we are willing to accept the science but we are sitting here waiting for answers to the questions that amount to more than trust-me-I'm-a-scientist followed by ad hominems at anyone who looks like they are not.
