Professor in climate change scandal helps police...while researchers call for him to be banned
The Daily Mail ^ | 02nd December 2009 | Fiona Macrae

He said: 'I can confirm what has been written in other places: research in some areas of climate science has been and is full of machination, conspiracies and collusion, as any reader can interpret from the CRU files.

'The scientific debate has been in many instances hijacked to advance other agendas.'

The researcher added although he does not believe that manmade climate is a hoax, he and other researchers have been ‘bullied and subtly blackmailed’ to fit in the scientific mainstream.

'In this atmosphere, PhD students are often tempted to tweak their data so as to fit the "politically correct picture",' he said.

'Some, or many, issues about climate change are still not well known. Policy makers should be aware of these attempts to hide these uncertainties under a unified picture.'

...

'What is left for Phil Jones to do is to restrain from doing review work for journals, and, of course, he should stay away from the IPCC and similar assessment exercises.'

He added that the investigation should be led by a non-Briton and include input from climate change sceptics.

Dr Benny Peiser, director of the British-based Global Warming Policy Foundation, said: 'What is important is that the university comes clean on this and they don't fudge the inquiry.

'We need total transparency on this.

'If they try to set up some kind of whitewash panel which an inquiry that does not have the total trust of the public it will make matters worse.

'We have called for a High Court judge to chair the inquiry just to make sure that trust is restored.'

Police help researcher?

The po-pos should be helping the general public to nail the researcher.

Then PHD candidates that took part in this fraud should not be awarded their Doctorate.
They are admitting that they are charlatans.

So a PhD really does mean “piled high and deep”?

The Global Warming Hysteria may soon come to an end. Then again, it took the American Stalinists decades to concede that Uncle Joe Stalin murdered millions.

Let us hope that will be true, but I won't hold my breath.

“Crichton warns that ‘global warming’– which has become both a cause célèbre and a supposed moral imperative– not only has “little basis in fact or science” but compromised by political advocacy and a ‘quest for power.’”

This crap is straight out of Nazi Germany as books were burned, contrarian scientists were banned and banished all for group think.

If the Queen had the power of her ancestors this would call for some kind of high powered Imperial Auditor to investigate things. But it's no longer Merry Old England there, the bureaucracy will investigate itself to an unsatisfying end. However, I can well imagine a fictional parallel investigation, on Barrayar, with the appointment as temporary Ninth Imperial Auditor of Lord Mark Vorkosigan. I could almost feel sorry for the perps.

We can hope, but it seems to me they are doubling down. Everywhere but Fox, alarmist stories are playing every day. It could be just the previously scheduled ramp-up to the Copenhagen hoopla, but coverage of the climategate story would be much more appropriate under the circumstances.

Good. Let them "double down". Their willing deceit is the same as Dan Ratherbiased.

They are committing fraud and journalistic malfesence.

Flat out yellow journalism.

They are "Climategate deniers".

Call 'Saul Alinsky'. Turn their tactics against them.

Their credibility is completely gone. Sacrificed in the name of political agenda... A Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.
