Global Warm­ing With the Lid Off (Wall Street Jour­nal)
Sub­ti­tle is “The emails that reveal an effort to hide the truth about cli­mate sci­ence..” WSJ writes: “How­ever, we do now have hun­dreds of emails that give every appear­ance of tes­ti­fy­ing to con­certed and coör­di­nated efforts by lead­ing cli­ma­tol­o­gists to fit the data to their con­clu­sions while attempt­ing to silence and dis­credit their crit­ics. In the depart­ment of incon­ve­nient truths, this one surely deserves a closer look by the media, the U.S. Con­gress and other inves­tiga­tive bodies.”

Edito­r­ial: Hid­ing Evi­dence of Global Cool­ing (Wash­ing­ton Times)
Con­clu­sion: “These rev­e­la­tions of fudged sci­ence should have a cool­ing effect on global-​warming hys­te­ria and the pan­icked poli­cies that are being pushed for­ward to address the unproven theory.”

Anthony Watts at WattsUp­With­That has a new post out show­ing com­ments in the code that was released by the alleged hacker last week. First, he says fur­ther review of the email shows that among the datasets Phil Jones used, some con­cluded that ‘global warm­ing’ ended back in 1960 and that only with edited dated to “hide the decline” did Jones pro­duce the cur­rent global warm­ing trend. He shares that Jones now denies manip­u­lat­ing the data even if the email clearly state otherwise.

Any­way, Watts says that a review of the soft­ware code released by the alleged hacker includes com­ments clearly doc­u­ment­ing data manipulation.

George Mar­shall writes in the block Cli­mate Change Denial a post bemoan­ing “Swift­boat­ing the Cli­mate Sci­en­tists.”

The theft of 1,000 pri­vate e-​mails from the Cli­mate Research Unit at the Uni­ver­sity of East Anglia (UEA) shows that deniers have learned lessons from dirty pol­i­tics and are run­ning a new cam­paign to under­mine pub­lic trust in cli­mate sci­en­tists. The fee­ble response from the UEA and the cli­mate sci­ence com­mu­nity shows that sci­en­tists are still totally under­es­ti­mat­ing the fragility of that trust and the cru­cial role it plays in build­ing pub­lic belief.

Hack­ers recently seized and released 1,073 emails and 55MB of files from Cli­mate Report and the Uni­ver­sity of East Anglia. Not unex­pected on today’s Inter­net but the results are explo­sive. The con­tent of the emails unequiv­o­cally show that global warm­ing is a fraud and that sci­en­tists involved actively per­pe­trated this fraud.

Like so many oth­ers I have down­loaded the hacked files and have begun perus­ing the emails. First, I’ve got to sus­pect the sci­en­tists involved feel very vio­lated to find their emails now on the Inter­net for every­one to read. Inter­est­ing to note that they are admit­ted as gen­uine from sev­eral media reports (Phil Jones admits files taken, defends con­tent; Gavin Schmidt says his are gen­uine). Sec­ond, they should be con­cerned about reper­cus­sions, whether they should have attor­neys, and maybe whether it might be time to qui­etly retire. For Al Gore and oth­ers mak­ing a career out of global warn­ing, this has to be a bone chill­ing moment as their entire reli­gious cru­sade is exposed as fraud. What do they do? Admit it? Explain it away? Or, try to ignore it?

Climate­gate: the final nail in the cof­fin of ‘Anthro­pogenic Global Warm­ing’? (Tele­graph)
“If the Hadley CRU scan­dal is true,it’s a blow to the AGW lobby’s cred­i­bil­ity which is never likely to recover.”
