Climategate Caught Green Handed

The whistleblower deep in the basement of one of the ugly, modern tower-blocks of the dismal, windswept University of East Anglia could scarcely have timed it better. In less than three weeks, the world’s governing class – its classe politique – would meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to discuss a treaty to inflict an unelected and tyrannical global government on us, with vast and unprecedented powers to control all once-free world markets and to tax and regulate the world’s wealthier nations for its own enrichment: in short, to bring freedom, democracy, and prosperity to an instant end worldwide, at the stroke of a pen, on the pretext of addressing what is now known to be the non-problem of manmade “global warming”. The unnamed hero of ‘Climategate’, after months of work gathering emails, computer code, and data, quietly sent a 61-megabyte compressed file from one of the university’s servers to an obscure public message-board on the internet, with a short covering note to the effect that the climate was too important to keep the material secret, and that the data from the University would be available for a short time only. He had caught the world’s politico-scientific establishment green-handed. Yet his first attempts to reveal the highly-profitable fraud and systematic corruption at the very heart of the UN’s climate panel and among the scientists most prominent in influencing its prejudiced and absurdly doom-laden reports had failed. He had made the mistake of sending the data-file to the mainstream news media, which had also profited for decades by fostering the “global warming” scare, and by generally denying anyone who disagreed with the official viewpoint any platform. The whistleblower’s data file revealed, for the first time, the innermost workings of the tiny international clique of climate scientists, centered on the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia, that has been the prime mover in telling the world that it is warming at an unprecedented rate, and that humankind is responsible.

Lord Monckton gives a very granular analysis of Climategate through a thorough scrubbing of the liberated emails of the CRU (or was it GRU?). He hits the data, individual files, algorithms, statistical manipulations, cherry picking, raw versus processed data, end date-start date games - the whole menagerie - and then he exposes the gaps and the cover-ups. He demolishes Hansen who is hoisted upon his own petard when is predictions of CO2 and world temperatures he made 20 years ago were so staggeringly wrong - yet no one but Moncton reminds him. It will be difficult for the alarmists to defend against this indictment, and Moncton's work work offers the world a great explanatory document for anyone debating this very serious issue.

The tree-ring circus is exposed for the absurdity that it is - and that Mann and Co abandoned it when it began to refute the hockey stick theory. That's when they grafted on real data to proxy data to get the outcome they were looking for. That is reprehensible but we are now told that this is de rigueur for scientific analysis, which is a lie told to defend the previous lie.

A few telling Quotes from Monckton on finding a "Fudge Factor" that was applied to the data, and one on the tree-ring circus.

"No true or honest scientist would apply an undeclared, undisclosed fudge-factor (which the Climate Research Unit’s programmer actually called a “fudge-factor”) so as artificially to generate the “politically-correct” – but scientifically baseless – result."

‘Plotting programs such as data4alps.pro print this reminder to the user prior to rendering the chart: ‘“IMPORTANT NOTE: The data after 1960 should not be used. The tree-ring density records tend to show a decline after 1960 relative to the summer temperature in many high-latitude locations. In this data set this ‘decline’ has been artificially removed in an ad-hoc way, and this means that data after 1960 no longer represent tree-ring density variations, but have been modified to look more like the observed temperatures.”

(Data Hoarding is Unscientific) "And how can one possibly test a hypothesis that is the result of the application of a given computer program to a given set of data unless the program code and the data are fully disclosed to any scientists who wish to verify the program and the data and the methods used by those advancing the hypothesis? The refusal of Professor Jones and the Team to release their data, a refusal that persisted for many years, is in direct and flagrant contradiction to every rule and principle of science that underlies the scientific method. On that ground alone, it is a scandal, and a serious one."

"12. Finally – and here the evidence of criminality is incontrovertible – in 2008 Professor Jones wrote to several members of the Team inviting them to delete all emails relating to the Team’s participation in the preparation of the previous year’s Fourth Assessment Report of the UN’s climate panel. He wrote this email some three weeks after the University of East Anglia had received a request under the Freedom of Information Act for precisely the information that he was recommending his fellow-members of the Team to emulate him in destroying."

(ON CRIMINALITY) "Section 77 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 empowers the courts to impose substantial fines on public bodies or their personnel found guilty of the offense of altering, defacing, blocking, erasing, destroying, or concealing any record held by a public authority with the intention of preventing disclosure of information lawfully applied for under the Act. At least one complaint has already been sent to the Information Commissioner, who, on receiving the complaint, is bound by law to investigate the years of attempts by Professor Jones and other members of the Team to prevent the disclosure of information from various applicants who had lawfully requested it, and to whom it should by law have been – but was not – unhesitatingly, promptly, and fully supplied. "

The gun is not only smoking, it's radioactive.

Read it and forward it to your mailing list. It is something the world should see before it signs up for a trillion dollar carbon tax.

Nothing is settled, especially the science. We have been hoodwinked by venal people and there needs to be a thorough investigation. This is happening on the internet while the MSM is ignoring this tale of corruption and deceit. The ugly truth is that this small group of venal people is controlling much of the world's view on climate change, speeding us towards a gargantuan reallocation of our wealth and it could be all based on an casket full of lies.

Flush the bunch of them. Monckton's formula to recovery:

"First, there is now a need for a standardized, international network of properly-sited, modern, automated land temperature monitoring stations, reporting by satellite so that the data are immediately available to all. The aim should be to equal the reliability and public accessibility of the ARGO bathythermographs that have been deployed for the past six years in the oceans. Until this standardized network has been installed worldwide, calibrated, and declared operational, all terrestrial and satellite temperature records should be regarded with profound suspicion, and no public policy – particularly any policy that menaces the freedom, democracy, and prosperity of the West – should be founded upon them.

Secondly, all those whose emails have demonstrated that they have acted maliciously and in bad faith – even those whose conduct stopped short of being actually criminal – should be dismissed from every publicly-funded scientific post, and should be permanently debarred from participating in any international scientific endeavour, including the UN’s climate panel. On grounds of its sheer nastiness alone, the Team should be disbanded forthwith and for aye, never to trouble humankind again.

Thirdly, all public policy measures to address what is now known to be the manufactured non-problem of “global warming” should be put on hold forthwith, and no further public policy measures should be instituted at any future time, unless and until global mean surface temperature, as properly and independently measured by the new methods recommended here, shall have risen by at least 1 C° (2 F°) compared with temperature in the year 2000.

Fourthly, all “global-warming” profiteers who are making money out of carbon-trading or “green investment” or UN climate boondoggles of whatever kind should be warned, and clearly warned, that now that the basis for their profitable activities is known to be hollow and fraudulent, they themselves will be indicted, prosecuted, and jailed for fraud, and their profits confiscated as the fruits of money-laundering, if in future they participate in any fostering or furthering or promoting of the lies, damned lies, and bogus statistics that have now shown the entire “global warming” theory to be nothing more than a scam.
