Via Greg Hengler. The data’s in a dumpster and the analysts have been discredited, but the science itself remains pristine, my friends. When asked about Climategate last week, The One’s climate czar literally shrugged it off. Would the head of the UN’s body on global warming fare better? Of course not:
Pachauri said the large number of contributors and rigorous peer review mechanism adopted by the IPCC meant that any bias would be rapidly uncovered.
“The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so inclusive, that even if an author or two has a particular bias it is completely unlikely that bias will find its way into the IPCC report,” he said.
“Every single comment that an expert reviewer provides has to be answered either by acceptance of the comment, or if it is not accepted, the reasons have to be clearly specified. So I think it is a very transparent, a very comprehensive process which insures that even if someone wants to leave out a piece of peer reviewed literature there is virtually no possibility of that happening.”…
Pachauri said it was not clear whether the wording of the emails reflected the scientists’ intended actions, but said: “I really think people should be discreet … in this day and age anything you write, even privately, could become public and to put anything down in writing is, to say the least, indiscreet … It is another matter to talk about this to your friends on the telephone or person to person but to put it down in writing was indiscreet. If someone was to say something like this in an IPCC authors’ meeting then there are others who would chew him up.”
A fair point. If you’re going to game your analysis to arrive at a preferred result, for god’s sake, don’t leave a trail. (Hence the dumpster.) But even if you do, per Gibbsy, it’s onward to Copenhagen anyway. Exit question for Pachauri via Mark Steyn: Precisely how many polar bears have your little cricket jaunts killed this year, pray tell?
Update: A brutal assessment of the significance of Climategate from Clive Crook, writing at, of all places, the Atlantic:
The closed-mindedness of these supposed men of science, their willingness to go to any lengths to defend a preconceived message, is surprising even to me. The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering. And, as Christopher Booker argues, this scandal is not at the margins of the politicised IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] process. It is not tangential to the policy prescriptions emanating from what David Henderson called the environmental policy milieu [subscription required]. It goes to the core of that process…
I’m also surprised by the IPCC’s response. Amid the self-justification, I had hoped for a word of apology, or even of censure. (George Monbiot called for Phil Jones to resign, for crying out loud.) At any rate I had expected no more than ordinary evasion. The declaration from Rajendra Pachauri that the emails confirm all is as it should be is stunning. Science at its best. Science as it should be. Good lord. This is pure George Orwell. And these guys call the other side “deniers”.

NASA GODDARD COMPLICIT IN FRAUD!
Oh thats just Bahgdad Bob’s cousing D.C. Bob spouting off again... LOL... The science was junked and we won’t get Punked so get off it.
Man is not causing Global warming and I’ll be damned if this Man is going to pay one slim dime toward this ponzi scheme.
Dear global warming skeptic:
We have reviewed your piece-of-garbage paper contradicting the vast majority of scientists who firmly believe in anthropogenic global warming. In fact, your paper has been peer-reviewed and found wanting. Here are the main reasons your stupid paper has been rejected:
1) You are an idiot. A Luddite. A troglodyte. In fact, next time I see you at a conference, I am going to kick your butt.
2) You haven't published your paper in a peer-reviewed publication, and we are going to make sure you don't.
3) Your university president has been advised that the best experts in the world in this field find you to be incompetent. You should not receive any new research grants. You should not be allowed to guide doctorate students. You should not be allowed to represent your university at conferences. And you have bad breath.
Cordially yours,
Scientists out to shape a better, happier, sustainable, socialist, one-world-government world.

what is that brown stuff on his face? LOL
What’s your problem buddy? This ain’t the place for Daily Kos antics.
You’re too much. LOL
Thanks Bob,
NOW... a word from our sponsors:
************
Your is a possessive pronoun . . .
Is there identity theft going on here? Look at the conservative, anti-Obama posts (below) by shaft29 on Nov 24 and prior. Then look at the loony, foul-mouthed sabotage of today (Dec. 1) on this thread and others. I doubt it's the same person:

I can’t believe that almost 40% of whites still back this racist.

Any US President that was able to overthrow two countries and checkmate Iran with the loss of less than 10,000 troops will be judged as one of our greatest Presidents.
True historians will be very kind to this remarkably great man.

Probably is. I thought the same thing, immediately, when I saw the sign up date - who wates 2 years to start posting drivel?
So, I thought I’d have a bit of nerdy fun. lol
The science is settled: ITS FRAUD
Robert Gibbs ? the evidence is settled, you and the rest of the Global Warming Hoaxsters, well, YOU LIE !! it was all a lie and a fraud.
The science is settled and it shows that global warming is a hoax.
I wonder if it is shaft29’s nerdy teenager who just discovered computers.
“Baghdad Bob Gibbs” should start wearing a beret so he will look the part.
Gibbsey... digging Obama’s grave deeper every minute.
Its actually going to be FUNNY to watch the WH backtrack here in about a week.
