“Some schools are actually teaching this false theory as fact.”
Well, for those of us who have fought the false philosophy and teaching of materialism (and materialistic evolution) for years, this should come as no surprise. Evolution has just been telling its lie louder and longer, with far more research money behind it.
But I digress.
In doing my own research on the hacked e-mails, I found this gem:

“The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.”

These guys knew the earth was cooling, yet continued to defraud the public because they were afraid of the same kind of academic retribution they had seen foisted on others (and which they helped create), to push a political agenda and, most of all, to keep their grant monies coming in.
These people are detestable in the extreme and should prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

LOVE THIS ONE! IT'S THE SUN, STUPID!
So Far so good.
"Mathematica" first plots out the data itself (see Atachment 1)
The first part of the instruction set lets "mathematica" do a Fourier Transform on the data, ie. searching out the periodicities, if there are any. The result is shown on Attachment 2.
The transform result shows a sharp spike at the 11 year point (I wonder what is significant about 11 years?). The second part of the instructions now acts upon this observed spike (the Cos 11 bit), to extract it's waveform from the rest of the noise. The result is shown as a waveform in attachment 3, the waves having an 11-year period, with the long-term Sydney warming easily evident.
Attachment 4 shows the original Sydney data overlaid against the 11-year periodicity.
It would appear that the solar cycle does indeed affect temperature.
(I tried the same run on the CRU global temperature set. Even though CRU must be highly smoothed by the time all the averages are worked out, the 11-year pulse is still there, albeit about half the size of Sydneys).
Stay cool.
