“The IPCC in danger of losing credibility? How can they still be losing something they have already lost altogether?”

I’m sure you meant to say, “The IPCC in danger of losing credibility? How can they lose something that they never had to begin with”.

Just saw this on a Drudge headline;

“I thought of killing myself, says climate scandal professor Phil Jones”

Robert Watson, chief scientist at Defra, the environment ministry, who chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...

It's elementary Watson; Global Warming is a hoax.

“He has lost more than a stone in weight and disclosed he is on beta-blockers and using sleeping pills.”

I would suggest that Dr Jones take a permanent vacation sunning himself on the balmy Antarctica beaches.

irrelevant to the issues and a pitiful ploy for sympathy -— it is not uncommon for fraudsters, egomaniacs, and all kinds of scammers to contemplate suicide when their lies catch up with them, especially in a very public manner

some actually go through with it -— I certainly hope he won’t, I don’t wish that on anyone’s family and friends

but this is totally irrelevant to judging what has been done by Jones and his cabal

If everyone could fend off scandal and judgment by saying they’d contemplated suicide, even if true, would provide a really easy out for every kind of miscreant and scumbag

Someone forgot to put rat guards on the mooring lines. The rats are headed for the dock, and from there to dark corners where they can hide until the next hoax comes along.

Lets see, they have peddled this made up lie to our children at schools and in movies. They have peddled their Bird flu and swine flu BS too. All lies for financial gain.

Just wait until the full truth of that gets out.

Criminals need to be put behind bars.

considering that this Watson fella chaired the IPCC from 1997 to 2002, he’s in awfully deep himself - guess he wanted to try to position himself in public as “oh, my, things really went downhill after my turn in charge”

but it’s all the same cesspool, and Watson’s time included the infamous dishonest “hockey stick” hoopla

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finds vindication at last! A recent high-level study has confirmed global climate change. According to UN biologists, most regions on the Earth report a shift from warmth and light, to a period of cool and darkness at approximately 12-hour intervals. IPCC researchers claim this can only be the result of greenhouse gas emissions from the wealthiest nations, particularly the USA. As proof of their theory, researchers note that those wealthy nations have common patterns of automobile traffic in the early morning and the end of the day; which obviously are causing the skies to darken and cool until the atmosphere absorbs the noxious poison and the cycle of abuse repeats itself again in a few hours.

“I get the feeling the dam is finally breaking on this farce.”

I agree. Please note post 32.

I get the feeling the dam is finally breaking on this farce. It is really delightful. I remember when even in this forum there were a lot ready to accept the silly cap and trade stuff. Never be swayed by the left, if they believe something it is usually wrong and if they take it up to champion it is for one reason and that is to control and shape your life and your children’s minds.

As this hoax unfolds, it provides a valuable example.

Yes, there's a lot of tin-foil conspiracy theories out there, and most of them are just tinfoil. But here is a prime example of a real conspiracy, that has been ongoing for many years, was global in scope, had multiple governments and the UN involved, and managed to hide itself from view of the general populace for all that time.

We see in this exposed conspiracy, and in the email records of the exposed conspirators, the mechanisms by which they got reporters to come into the conspiracy, how they suppressed coverage of dissent, how they worked to destroy the careers of any who attempted to show a contrary view.

What we need is for a very talented writer to do an investigative book on the whole conspiracy, with a view towards exposing the mechanisms.

UPDATE3: Pachauri now bizarrely claims in a press interview that the IPCC’s credibility has been strengthened. IMHO, Dr. Pachauri is toast. He has nowhere to go except out.

It's not so bizarre. Pachauri (I refuse to give him the Dr honorific) knows he's toast, and that once events finish unfolding he will never hold a position of responsibility again. He's got nothing to lose by being a brazen liar, and seeing how long he can continue to collect his paychecks.

It's like Baghdad Bob. Yes, he became a joke at the end, but what else was he going to do?

In the FR thread on that, I noted that I've been reading The Sociopath Next Door, and one big characteristic of a sociopath is, when caught, he will make a big try for pity and try to convince those who've caught on to his crimes that he's really a victim.

I took a look at the "Boxer: Hackers should face criminal probe over ‘Climategate’" article, and the comments towards Boxer were positively scathing! The article has over 3000 comments!

This fiasco has the potential to really damage the Left, if it's done right.
