Will Old Media Cover Global Warming Scandal?

The blogosphere is abuzz with news of the latest global warming scandal. A latter day "Daniel Ellsberg" has released the climate equivalent of the Pentagon Papers onto the web.

In 1971 former Defense Department employee Daniel Ellsberg turned over a large collection of Pentagon Vietnam War related documents to the New York Times. Recently an unknown whistler blower released 61 megabytes of documents along with emails involving communications between Professor Phil Jones, Director of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, and various other scientists who support the claim that humans can raise air temperatures by increasing the amount of the magical atmospheric gas carbon dioxide (CO2).

Some of the old media are reporting this scandal, but most seem to be ignoring it.

John Delingpole on the London Telegraph site suggests: "The Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabytes of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)"

Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun suggests "the 1079 emails and 72 documents seem indeed evidence of a scandal involving most of the most prominent scientists pushing the man-made warming theory - a scandal that is one of the greatest in modern science. I’ve been adding some of the most astonishing in updates below - emails suggesting conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more. If it is as it now seems, never again will “peer review” be used to shout down skeptics."

Marc Sheppard points out the hypocrisy of Jones, et.al. criticizing the funding of their opponents. Of the two documents that mention funding for global warming claims it's "the second document (potential-funding.doc) that tells the more compelling tale. In addition to four government sources of potential CRU funding, it lists an equal number of “energy agencies” they might put the bite on. Three -- the Carbon Trust, the Northern Energy Initiative and the Energy Saving Trust -- are UK-based consultancy and funding specialists promoting “new energy” technologies with the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The fourth -- Renewables North West -- is an American company promoting the expansion of solar, wind and geothermal energy in the Pacific Northwest."

Bishop Hill has an index of many of the emails for those interested in further reading. There is also a searchable database.

These revelations aren't the first that question claims about global warming. Lawrence Solomon reported that the Enron Corporation pushed global warming claims in the 1990's because of a desire to profit from trading carbon credits. Enron also felt it would benefit from encouraging use of its natural gas holdings over coal and petroleum. Former Enron official Jeff Shields has been associated with Renewables North West.

Will the old media continue to ignore evidence that global warming is a fraud, or will they decide to expose it like they did Watergate and other past scandals? Have old media reporters been ignoring the scandal because they are being paid to, or are they just too lazy to investigate claims of fraud?

Of course the liberal media will ignore the fraud. They only printed the Pentagon Papers because they opposed Nixon and Vietnam.

Maybe this scandal will convince more people to ignore the Liberal media.

There is no old media left in the USA.
It is no better then the old Soviet Union.
The Pravda of free Russia is better then the NYT or WaPo.

If it were not for the internet and talk radio,
God only knows where would be now.

[WKUHilltopper]

Why would they cover it? They’re part of the treason and tyranny.

Really Scary News From Planet Gore! (This is totally serial!)

The Polar Ice Cap Will Be GONE in 5 Years!"
Click on the image below to see the video where Al Gore claim that the polar ice cap will vanish in five years!

(It is not. In fact the North Polar ice cap is GROWING.)

"The center of the Earth is extremely hot, several million degrees..."
Click on the image below to see the Gore proclaim that the center of the earth is millions of degrees.

(It is not. The center of the earth is only estimated to be between 4000 and 6000 degrees.)

Real funny that none of the major news networks, including Fox News, has any stories on this climategate fraud. I just did a search on See-BS, NBC, CNN, ABC and Fox. Nothing.

[backhoe]

I'm keeping a running file ( always updated ) on this fraud and scandal: "Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]"

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Not true. Beck did a 10 minute segment on Climategate on Monday and it got it's 60 seconds of fame on Bret Baier's show. And I'm pretty sure that the Fox News website posted the story. That's a start.

Ain't that the truth! LOL...

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...

[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.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Email media outlets, especially talk radio, and remind them of this story.
Linking the the WSJ piece is a good thing to do.

“And I’m pretty sure that the Fox News website posted the story. That’s a start.”

I didn’t see it. I searched all of their sites. But I would hope that Fox would. Glad to hear Beck covered it.
