Climate Realists ^ | December 5, 2009 | Christopher Booker

This article written by Christopher Booker (author of the recently released book The Real Global Warming Disaster):

"Coming to light in recent days has been one of the most extraordinary scientific detective stories of our time, bizarrely centred on a single tree in Siberia dubbed "the most influential tree in the world". On this astonishing tale, it is no exaggeration to say, could hang in considerable part the future shape of our civilisation. Right at the heart of the sound and fury of "Climategate" – the emails leaked from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in East Anglia – is one story of scientific chicanery, overlooked by the media, whose implications dwarf all the rest. If all those thousands of emails and other documents were leaked by an angry whistle-blower, as now seems likely, it was this story more than any other that he or she wanted the world to see. "

An intelligent populace would not readily accept this.

I really liked that he reminded us that the global scam conference is taking place in Copenhagen, home of HC Andersen, author of the story of the “Emperor’s Clothes”.

I really hope these carboncretins will be exposed to all the world in their complete intellectual nudity.

Now this is cool beyond words.

I happen to live along the Yukon River in the Alaska Bush, and there are literally millions of larches, everywhere, near my home.

My son has a science fair project which needs to be done.

I’m going to suggest that we go out and find the biggest larches we can find - which is another way of saying, “Let’s go out and spend the afternoon buzzing around on the snowmachine” - and get those larches, look at the growth rings, and do our own climate research of our own. In theory, we should be able to match the growth rings to the already established temperature readings for our area, where they’ve been keeping records since the middle 1940s.

We can then compare that to the research done in Siberia, which has a similar climate.

Not bad for a sixth-grader.

“Other studies based on similar data had clearly shown the Medieval Warm Period as hotter than today. Indeed only the evidence from one tree, YADO61, seemed to show a “hockey stick” pattern, and it was this, in light of the extraordinary reverence given to the CRU’s studies, which led McIntyre to dub it “the most influential tree in the world”.

YADO61.

And they payed for that tree with cash, by hand through Switzerland....

http://www.eastangliaemails.com/emails.php

7 Mar 96 Shiyatov tells Briffa "Also, it is important for us if you can transfer the ADVANCE money on the personal accounts which we gave you earlier and the sum for one occasion transfer (for example, during one day) will not be more than 10,000 USD. Only in this case we can avoid big taxes and use money for our work as much as possible. Please, inform us what kind of documents and financial reports we must represent you and your administration for these money."

Mon, 17 Jun 96 Stepan Shiyatov said to Briffa "We hoped to use some money of the ADVANCE project. But we have not received this money until now and the program of collecting during this summer will be reduced. Some days ago I received an information that the INTAS-RFBR project was rejected. The competition was very high."

17 Sep 1996 Keith Briffa to Mike Salmon "Dear Stepan I have received the receipts. Thankyou.

More.....

 

5 May 97 Stepan Shiyatov says "After our long silence we would like inform you about our sucesses, problems and plans." and says "That is why we and E.Vaganov ask you to transfer each of us 7-8.000 USD until the end of June from the ADVANCE project, if it is possible. Last summer, when I was in England, you promised to help us with money to organise field works this year."

5 June, 1997 Stepan Shiyatov says "anderstanding your difficulties with transfering money and I think the best way for us if you will bring money to Krasnoyarsk and I give you a receipt."

17 Jun 97 Stepan Shiyatov repeats 5 June, 1997 email

9 Sep 1998 "Stepan G. Shiyatov" says to Briffa "Rashit could not be able to go to the Yamal Peninsula for collecting subfossil wood this summer as a result of deficiency of money. I am glad that we have been successful in INTAS proposal. Financial situation in our country so terrible that we will not work successfully without support from international grants. Yesterday I have sent by post the signed form (official power of attorney). If you have any additional information concerning this grant, please give me know."

Oct 2 1998 Keith Briffa sends email to stepan and evag "I have received the real signed Power Of Attorney form from Stepan , but not from Eugene. It seems I must have both . I am a bit reluctant to forge Eugene's signature! We will need to think about how the money should be handled" and goes on to say "I have looked at the remaining money and I think I can give you each a final payment of between 4000 and 4500 US dollars.

 

And more......

 

Oct 6 2000 Briffa tells Stepan and Eugene "I have asked INTAS for an extension on the report period. Stepan some problem has now arisen regarding your final payment . I have asked Janet to sort this out and contact you directly."

31 May 2001 Stepan Shiyatov tells Briffa "I have sent you the necessary form to transfer the money for my name, but the Ekaterinburg Branch of Bank for Foreing Trade did not receive the money until now. Do you know the reason?"

Jun 8 2001 Briffa appologizes to Stepan Shiyatov "I still expect we will get the money outstanding - just late . Sorry."
