Interesting apologetics. I especially like the way he implies that those who are concerned about the validity of the data are not engaging in reasonable debate -- that, and the emphasis upon establishing a security system which can't be hacked.

Hopes of climate change accord ‘are sinking’

Professor Trevor Davies, one of the centre’s founders, told The Times that it was time to start looking for alternatives to an international deal.

They made their comments on the eve of a three-day conference in Copenhagen this week in which thousands of climate change researchers will meet to discuss the latest discoveries in the field. The findings will be used in December when world leaders attend a UN summit, also in Copenhagen, to try to work out an international treaty on greenhouse gas emissions.

Professor Anderson and Professor Davies expect politicians at the summit merely to pay lip service to scientific evidence that greenhouse gas emissions need to be brought under control within a decade, if not sooner. They said that rather than wait for an international accord it was time now to consider what action could be taken.

I think that the info released was that which they were soon to release by FOIA requirements, but they had them ‘stolen’ so as to cover the disclosure with a hacking ‘crime’. Sows confusion, doubt, and steals thunder from the FOIA release. Also provides cover for MSM not to run.

The best defense is a good offense, and a sharply-tuned display of faux outrage?

Yes I noticed that. It's quite interesting that an organisation quote committed to scientific integrity, open debate and enhancing understanding unquote, characterises questioning of its conclusions as quote the latest example of a sustained and, in some instances, a vexatious campaign which may have been designed to distract from reasoned debate unquote. Presumably the only "reasoned debate" is of the nature where everyone agrees and the only object of controversy is how wild you make the doomsday predictions.

I think the professor needs to write a one-thousand word essay on the definition of integrity.

We’ve learned that they left is ruling the roost now. They have control of most institutions and even corporations to a large extent. Therefore, we have to look to what oppressed people in the past have done, although we have it better than many such groups of the past. We have to never shut up, we have to keep hounding them and shouting the truth from the rooftops and interjecting and interrupting whenever and wherever we can If that doesn’t work, we may have to go to the next step. These leftists scams, corruption and hoaxes have to be exposed. That’s the only way to beat them back. We have to stop being so damn polite and “fair.”

Mildly defensive and misleading. A lawyer’s work. A liar, pure and simple.

"On time-scales of 5-10 years, however, there is a broad scientific consensus that the Earth will continue to warm, "

Errr... but it's been cooling... That's the problem you liar!

If they are in favor of “open debate”, then they should release all their emails. It would enhance our understanding of what they are doing. Ditto for all the other AGW institutes.

I simply can't imagine why a scientist of integrity would withhold data or would defend somebody who engages in such unethical behavior.

Moreover, a "scientist" who refuses to release his raw data or his source code should be ostracized by the other members of his profession, and his work should be ignored.

To take a contrary stand is to undermine perhaps the most important pillar of empirical science, which is the ability to replicate the findings of an experiment or study.

I guess it’s a little much to expect them to say:

‘You caught us! We admit it’s all a hoax.’

They are going to continue to do what they have been caught doing in the emails: Lie, obfuscate and do everything in their power to prevent the release of the documents.

They really need to cut their losses, admit fault and be done with it. This is spinning in the wildest sense.

This is very reminiscent of CBS’ spin, when, after they were caught pushing a forged document to undercut Bush’s ANG training documents. (paraphrased) “Though the document is determined to be not entirely authentic, we remain in firm agreement with the essence of its meaning.”
