The past couple of days have uncovered some shocking revelations about the baloney practices that pass as sound science about climate change.

It’s hit the big time folks!!
Thanks for posting. Bump for later.

This editorial from Washington Times belongs in News not chat
Obama has positions for them in his administration.
Actually, it belongs in the editorial section.
It was announced Thursday afternoon that computer hackers had obtained 160 megabytes of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in England. Those e-mails involved communication among many scientific researchers and policy advocates with similar ideological positions all across the world. Those purported authorities were brazenly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that did not support global-warming claims.
Professor Phil Jones, the head of the Climate Research Unit, and professor Michael E. Mann at Pennsylvania State University, who has been an important scientist in the climate debate, have come under particular scrutiny. Among his e-mails, Mr. Jones talked to Mr. Mann about the “trick of adding in the real temps to each series ... to hide the decline [in temperature].”
Mr. Mann admitted...that “scientists often used the word ‘trick’ to refer to a good way to solve a problem ‘and not something secret.’ “ Though the liberal New York newspaper apparently buys this explanation, we have seen no benign explanation that justifies efforts by researchers to skew data on so-called global-warming “to hide the decline.”
There is a lot of damning evidence about these researchers concealing information that counters their bias. In another exchange, Mr. Jones told Mr. Mann: “If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone” and, “We also have a data protection act, which I will hide behind.” Mr. Jones further urged Mr. Mann to join him in deleting e-mail exchanges about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) controversial assessment report (ARA): “Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re [the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report]?”
In another e-mail, Mr. Jones told Mr. Mann, professor Malcolm K. Hughes of the University of Arizona and professor Raymond S. Bradley of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst: “I’m getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act!”
At one point, Mr. Jones complained to another academic, “I did get an email from the [Freedom of Information] person here early yesterday to tell me I shouldn’t be deleting emails.” He also offered up more dubious tricks of his trade, specifically that “IPCC is an international organization, so is above any national FOI. Even if UEA holds anything about IPCC, we are not obliged to pass it on.” Another professor at the Climate Research Unit, Tim Osborn, discussed in e-mails how truncating a data series can hide a cooling trend that otherwise would be seen in the results. Mr. Mann sent Mr. Osborn an e-mail saying that the results he was sending shouldn’t be shown to others because the data support critics of global warming.
snip...
Only e-mails from Mr. Jones’ institution have been made public, and with his obvious approach to deleting sensitive files, it’s difficult to determine exactly how much more information has been lost that could be damaging to the global-warming theocracy and its doomsday forecasts.
My old science teacher told us back when that the world was beginning to enter a mini ice age. Maybe he was right all along.
Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and the MMGW deniers were outed as withholding scientific evidence? This would be front page New York Times for a week.
The true goal of the MMGW claims was to add more government around the world. Let’s call it what it is...a liberal play to try to get more power over everyone’s lives.

Looks like Drudge finally joined the bandwagon.
yes, the editorial sidebar of News/Activism board. right now it’s on the chat board.
In modernesque terminology: It is a fraud that is too big to fail.
lol
Too many are still going to try to bleed as much money as they can out of global cooling/global warming/global climate change. That includes businesses, institutions that depend on grants, scientists, politicians.
Gc/gw/gcc has grown into a big business, just like ACORN has.
I jokenly said it was ‘too big to fail’, but that may turn out to not be a joke. Those businesses, institution, politicians will find ways to divert and rename funds. Maybe they can find a looming potential for disaster — maybe a flu pandemic, for example. [ /s ]
Beck finally did a 5 minute peice on it yesterday too. It seems to slowly be gaining traction. Sometimes these slow starters have better staying power in the media. Often times, when they explode in the media, the story gets saturated and fizzles quickly.
There is a lot of information to cover with regards to “The Great Global Warming Swindle.”
“Hiding evidence of global cooling.”
If I’m correct, sunspot activity has sharply declined this year.
Could it be that the sun activity is the basis for planetary warming/cooling throughout history and not man made co2 emissions as stated by the alarmists???
It’s at the top of Drudge too (finally).
thanks for the email address. just sent him a message.
