NY Times ^ | 11/20/2009 | ANDREW C. REVKIN

Hundreds of private e-mails and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

The NY Times reporter, Revkin, fails to disclose that he has a close working relationship with the researchers in question.

Ethics? We don't need no stinking ethics!

No doubt as we read this, evidence is being destroyed by their counterparts around the world, in case anyone out there should begin a formal investigation. Undercover Freepers that’s what we need.

..a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.

What's with the unconscious understatement?

Call it what it is: fraud, and conspiracy to perpetrate fraud. Destroying data that would prove the fraud and conspiracy.

These so-called scientists had better start looking for new employment.

I would recommend politics. They seem to have the mind set, the absence of character and the criminal skills to go far in that profession.

Al Gore, Nobel muckamuck, is sadly saddened (all the way to the bank.)

that quote jumped out at me too. where is the proof for that statement?

The Gorons don't need no stinkin proof!

Movies and computer graphics are enough.

What are you? Some kind of a nut?

I guess so, a nut with a science degree. However, a science degree is not required to figure out that GLOBAL WARMING AND ALBORE ARE A SCAM.

I will have to check it out now that I am home. I find it hard to believe they are going to cover it substantially. I have a strong suspicion that they are going to turn this into a story of how the climate change deniers are trying to discredit the people who are trying to save the planet instead of concentrating on the deceit and subterfuge.

The only real problem the Chicken Littles have with this is that they could not get their taxes in place before the world realized the earth is just fine, to show us that our tax dollars to the cause of global warm...climate cha...whatever worked and we can be on to the next problem that, guess what, more taxes will solve.

I apologize for wasting your time, because my comment (Post # 54), which referred to the temperature chart shown in Post # 39, was intended merely to make a somewhat frivolous analogy between this temperature pattern and the “head and shoulders” stock market indicator, which signifies an end to an upward trend.

Actually, to complete the “head and shoulders” formation (if this were a stock chart) the downward sloping The curve at the extreme right would have to continue downward until it gets below the trough located between the left shoulder and the head.

Good observation - the term used amongst neo-Keynesians is "functional finance". It basically reverses the entire libertarian construct of society -> government to government -> society.

Here's a good article/discussion on the topic of gov't directed economic activity. Note, as you observe, true believers don't think it matters what is produced/consumed, as long as there is economic activity. That is, monetary velocity and taxation. Thus, health care "reform", cap 'n trade, amnesty, etc.

Naked Capitalism

The NYT is in trouble, the email chain shows that the Hoaxers were on a first name basis with “Andy Revkin” and were busy manipulating the News Coverage in addition to their “Hockey Stick” Graph!!!

What an amazing Thanksgiving Present for America!!

Article author Revkin: "The evidence pointing to a growing human contribution to global warming is so widely accepted that the hacked material is unlikely to erode the overall argument."
AGW is only "widely accepted" because the lamestream media and the education system has been cramming it down American's throats for 20 years - its called propaganda - unquestioned "truth". Sheesh. ;-(
