Another Lynx-hair study?

I believe all the so called missing documents are in the same file cabinet with the Rose Law Firm billing records.

[Prodigal Son]

Interesting.

[Always Right]

Peer review now means only those who wish to rubber stamp pappers that support global warming get to review it. Unfortunately, science has been hi-jacked by political agendas and is now a big stinking joke.

Yep. The reason the data is disappearing is because human caused global warming is nonsense. Everything was fine as long as no one said that the emperor had no clothes, but as soon as an independent source started outlining is butt-cheeks, he had to go indoors.

Why? Easy - follow the money, to wit: motives of the `peer reviewers', the IPCC, and the US$4 billion research industry it leads..

If there were no global warming "crisis" in need of study, then there would be no motivation for extravegant funding. So, parasites in academia exist in a symbiotic relationship with totalitarians: the academec parasites provide a rationale, the totalitarians disseminate the myths, whip up the easily deluded (actualy, that's not fair. These people use pretty sophisticated methods. It's not called "average" intelligence because only dummies possess it), who in turn give the academic parasites more funding to produce more bogus research.

I wonder if the academics who do this appreciate what selfish little bugs they really are. At least the totalitarians will come out to fight eventually.

This is Series.

Do you know what Michael Mann's position is at the University of Virginia? This is the first I've heard of him.

Not to mention a billion dollar market in carbon trading credits through the Kyoto Treaty. Follow the money.

Russia, to its credit, has rejected the Kyoto Treaty. They decided that any gain they might get from carbon credits would be offset by losses to their economy.

Sorry, never mind, I just looked him up in my directory. He's a faculty member in the enviromental sciences department.

How recent is this story? Is it breaking? Because it'd be interesting to see what comes out of this and if the University decides to investigate...

Call Algore...he can write a new book claiming how he debunked the global warming stuff and that we're reall entering a new ice age.

I just noticed this update on John Daly's site:

"On Tuesday 18th Nov, I emailed the webmaster of University of Massachussetts regarding the deleted directory. They replied that the deletions were done to conserve server space and that the timing was co-incidental.

As of today, the deleted files have re-appeared on the Massachussetts FTP server."

Good one, eh?

This has all been happening in the last few weeks. M&M have regular updates on this saga:

I also check in with daily with John Daly:

Don't laugh -- these people have no shame. They've got their bets covered every which way they can:

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

BTTT!!!!!

[Dan Evans]

Call Algore...he can write a new book claiming how he debunked the global warming stuff and that we're really entering a new ice age.

New York Times beat him to it:

Did you see this post from yesterday? "I Planned to Attend, But I Now Cannot..."

"Unfortunately, science has been hi-jacked by political agendas and is now a big stinking joke."

Not at all. The controversy and "fact-checking" by M & M shows that the process of science is working exactly as expected. Peer review is NOT the same thing as the scientific review process.

But to the powers at be at the IPCC, there is no controversy. M&M will be attacked and destroyed by any possible means.

"But to the powers at be at the IPCC, there is no controversy. M&M will be attacked and destroyed by any possible means."

The scientists may be attacked, and their careers damaged, but the SCIENCE will prevail. The "powers that be" obviously have learned very little since Galileo--it didn't work then, and it won't work now.
