When scientists become advocates for their scientific hypotheses, whether for political or self-aggrandizing reasons, they cease being scientists, and they become bullies, or worse. When scientists belittle, deride, condescend, stifle, censure or chastise the contributions of other scientists with whom they disagree, they are nothing less than evil. We now have evidence of such behavior on the part of a core of leading advocates for anthropogenic global warming. With the release of emails and other documents from the servers of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit, the destructive mindset is exposed in all its glory. Today, November 24, 2009, The Wall Street Journal offers a good summation.
This global warming hoax perpetrated by a cabal of elitist intellectual snobs should attain legendary status. Consider the potential harm done to our planet, our country, our economy, and most importantly our people by this group of self-centered narcissists who put their own glory, not to mention their own funding ahead of the pursuit of truth—with no concern for scientific integrity. And from their own words, it is obvious they were self-deluded—the worst kind of evil. They misused science to influence opinion leaders, politicians, the media, and common ordinary people who could not know better. They used their knowledge and intellect as a weapon to win their spoils. These are not the first to do so, nor will they be the last, but alas, they have been rendered naked by their own folly.
Climate changes! It always has and it always will! Humans will adapt, just as they have in the past when the planet was warmer and when the planet was colder. We must be smart about conserving our resources and protecting our environment. But we don’t have to create a mythology in order to persuade others to do likewise. The truth, or the continuous pursuit of it, will indeed set us free.
"effete elitist intellectual snobs"
” but alas, they have been rendered naked by their own folly.”
Those are my favorite words in this piece.
The greatest crime in all of this is not the wasted time and money on this scam. I don’t think it is even the damage their lies have caused to countries around the world.
The greatest harm is the destruction of what I will call, “scientific integrity”. My daddy use to tell me that integrity is something no man can take from you, that to lose it, you must give it away, and that once it was gone, you can never get it back.
The scientific community has given their integrity away.. They will no longer be trusted by the citizens... they have made themselves a laughing stock to the entire world.
So now, when they make some new discovery of worldly importance... who would believe them.
My brandy and sleeping pill is kicking in, so I better stop now. ;>)
This global warming hoax perpetrated by a cabal of algore’s elitist intellectual snobs should attain legendary status...
cui bono? Al Gore made a billion pedaling this scam.

That's so true. However there are going to be those who decry the so-called "excesses" and then try to say that it's basically true (about Anthropogenic Global Warming).
In order to knock it down, versus, just saying that some scientist went overboard but it's basically true anyway -- you need to get the real information (below) in this video.
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...
The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle”
If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link. Information about BitTorrent protocol and BitTorrent clients and their comparison at these three links (in this sentence). Some additional BitTorrent information here and here.
Download it here...
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3635222/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
[This is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size. This link is the information about it, and you have to click the download link to get it on your BitTorrent client software. You'll also find users' comments here, too.]
It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.
Also, see it online here...
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php
[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course..., and also, you can download flash video on a website either yourself or some software doing it.]
Buy it on DVD here...
[this would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...] At Amazon, it seems to be high-priced now and have only a few copies right now.

At WAGtv (a UK shop), but don't know about shipping. The price is reasonable, though.
