The little man behind the curtain ...

Only "two rogue scientists," as the oh-so-reassuring Climategate Deniers would have us believe? Walter Williams, esteemed economics professor at George Mason University, last week summarized Climategate, to date:

"New evidence proves that climatologists and environmental policy advocates have not only fed us lies (and) engaged in scientific and academic fraud, but committed criminal acts as well. Last month, Russian computer hackers obtained thousands of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England. CRU has the world's largest temperature data set. In collaboration with scientists around the world ... its research and mathematical models form the basis of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 global warming report."

The Climategate e-mails show man-made global warming fraudsters "around the world" brazenly discussing "both the destruction and hiding of data that does not support their global-warming claims," Williams notes. "They discuss criminally deleting data rather than comply with Freedom of Information Act requests. There's also discussion of faking data for journals such as Nature, conspiring to keep opposing science out of peer-reviewed journals (of which they controlled the editorial boards), and using statistical 'tricks' to hide the cooling period of the last 10 years. ..."

But it fell to Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger to note, on Dec. 4 in a column headlined "Climategate: Science Is Dying," just how massive the aftershocks could be:

"I don't think most scientists appreciate what has hit them," Mr. Henninger wrote. "This isn't only about the credibility of global warming. For years, global warming and its advocates have been the public face of hard science. ... The public was told repeatedly that something called 'the scientific community' had affirmed the science. ...

"The East Anglians' mistreatment of scientists who challenged global warming's claims -- plotting to shut them up and shut down their ability to publish -- evokes the attempt to silence Galileo. ... Most scientists outside this circle have kept silent as their climatologist fellows, helped by the cardinals of the press, mocked and ostracized scientists who questioned this grand theory of global doom."

Talk about being ON POINT! The Parallels are amazing.

Research has seemed dubious for years. When reports call for us to abstain from certain foods only to be told that they are good for us to eat due to different research. I think for me skepticism has been growing. Climategate is just a great big ole pan of cream gravy on top.

All the Left Wing lies and propaganda about Global Warming are no different than Walter William's globaloney economic lies and BS about his grocer and the Trade Deficit.

I don't listen to what that boob has to say anymore, even though he may occasionally be "right".

Peas in a pod.
