ClimateGate Investigations Galore

Bethany Stotts, December 10, 2009

In a recent British news broadcast one University of East Anglia professor went to bat for Phil Jones and his colleagues over at the University’s Climate Research Unit. The topic of conversation was Jones’ controversial ClimateGate correspondence.

In one leaked email, Jones talks about using Penn State professor Michael Mann’s “trick” of manipulating data within his hockey stick diagram. “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline,” wrote Jones on November 16, 1999. (Mann is currently under investigation).

But Professor Andrew Watson of UEA argued recently that this statement was “taken completely out of context.” He said,

“It does absolutely sound awful. You’re invited to believe that what he’s saying is ‘the world is actually cooling but this trick will try to convince the whole world that it’s actually warming’ and of course it doesn’t mean anything like that. It’s been taken completely out of context. They’re talking about one line in a diagram in a relatively obscure report in which they are looking at temperatures over the last thousand years trying to reconstruct them and they use a particular method with tree rings and it works well up until about 1960 and then it goes wrong for reasons which we…there are lots of papers on, which don’t need to go into.”

Phil Jones said something similar in a November 23 news release at the CRU: “The word ‘trick’ was used here colloquially as in a clever thing to do. It is ludicrous to suggest that it refers to anything untoward.”....

Good post keep it coming

THEY CAN NOT STAND CONSTANT PRESSURE.

WE NEED TO FLESH OUT NASA ROLE IN THIS COVER UP AND EXPOSE THEIR BUDGET DEALS.

Looking at temperatures for the past 1000 years would have to be selective as we simply don't have real data for worldwide analysis.

And the earth (and other parts of the universe???) have been warming since the last ice age. I'd say that's a good thing.

Manipulating data is what democrats do best.

If the climate can truly be controlled by humans, then why not make it 72 degrees globally?
I could sure some global warming seeing as it’s only 3 degrees outside right now.

they use a particular method with tree rings and it works well up until about 1960 and then it goes wrong for reasons which we…there are lots of papers on, which don’t need to go into.

That, folks, is what is called a "liar's recovery" followed by a deflection.

err.... for reasons we don't really know, have tried to speculate and cover it up in many papers, it doesn't show in our models, but believe us, we are right. /s

Ok, so, what if it's really and truly global COOLING. What can humans do to stop AGC? Do we simply do the OPPOSITE of everything Al Gore told us we should be doing? Move to Boca Raton? Issue everyone a shovel and an icepick and hope for the best?

If there are no logical solutions to stop global cooling, why would anyone think there was something humans could do to stop global warming? [QED]

Over at our Canadian sister site, I have documented this con job from the beginning:

"Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]"

And yes, it is a swindle- a fraud and a cheat and a scam-- a deliberately designed construct intended to con you out of things you hold dear-- money, and prosperity, and freedom... and a few other things, as well.
