ClimateGate Research Unit Disables Its Website By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-12-14 10:03
The Climatic Research Unit at the heart of the ClimateGate [0] scandal has taken down most of the information previously available at its website.
Prior to November's release of controversial e-mail messages and documents from Britain's University of East Anglea, there was a separate website for the institution's CRU that allowed readers to review articles and studies created by and for the Unit.
Now, no matter what link one tries to access via a Google search, it directs you to a page that reads: "Due to the present high volume of visitors to this page, you will shortly be directed to the latest news about CRU on the main University of East Anglia website, or you can go there immediately by clicking on this link [1]."
Once there, readers are exclusively offered the follow:
CRU Statements
* Sir Muir Russell to head the Independent Review into the allegations against the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) [2]

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 * CRU update 1 [8]
It is a matter of concern that data, including personal information about individuals, appears to have been illegally taken from the university and elements published selectively on a number of websites. Read more [9]

As such, you can now only retrieve statements from CRU concerning the current controversy, but NOT information and data related to it.
For instance, as Anthony Watts reported [10] moments ago, you can no longer retrieve information about Keith Briffa's tree ring data which is so crucial to the whole manmade global warming myth.
In fact, the following links available at Google all redirect to the CRU Statements page:
* Climatic Research Unit [11] * Index of /cru [12] * Temperature Trends: Surface (CRU) [13] * Data available from CRU [14] * About the Climatic Research Unit [15] * CRU information sheets [16]
Some pages don't redirect at all. Temperature Trends: Surface (CRU) [17] goes to a page that says, "Sorry, but the page you requested does not exist."
As for the idea that this is because of "the volume of visitors," Watts noted, "[I]f indeed 'traffic' is a concern, redirecting to another page on the UEA server system doesn’t do much for the load, it just moves it around."
Will global warming-obsessed media that have been either ignoring or downplaying ClimateGate notice what's happened at the website of the CRU in the middle of this scandal, and if they do, how will they report it?
Stay tuned.
This is too funny. Now the website is down. They are scrubbing the site of incriminating information. How special.
hmmm...way back machine..anybody cache it...
Maybe they can be Tiger Wood’s next big sponsor. They seem to have a lot in common. BS’ing the general public.
roflololololol
“hmmm...way back machine..anybody cache it...”
Considering someone got all their “private” stuff, um, yeah.
Now we know the real source of global pollution. :)
They should be de-legitimized, de-funded, de-constructed, and de-populated from our planet. The truly young & innocent minds they have infected need to be de-programmed.
The de-struction they have caused is incalculable.
Should be stripped of their academic degrees, sued to within an inch of their lives, THRASHED to within an inch of their lives, Berlusconied, exiled, and... put in prison for a long long time.
They need the time to delete incriminatory data, sanitize the rest, and make up the numbers required to show that this year will be the hottest year.....EVER!
What a bunch of maroons.
“They should be de-legitimized, de-funded, de-constructed, and de-populated ...”
And they deserve a Nobel prize.
Given that the stuff that was up on the website was the result of the corrupted ‘science’ from the CRU, I’m not sure it can be characterized as information. Disinformation perhaps.
They are likely busy updating it...LOL!
BUMP!
They should be criminally prosecuted for the conspiracy they committed to defraud governments and taxpayers and investors.
Will The Hystanic Hit the Iceberg? [Reader Post]
***************************EXCERPT************************
Wonder how many icebergs are floating in the Hysterical Sea and which one is going to take down the Hystanic. Still very little notice taken by the MSM regards Climategate , but the liberals are certainly coming down on Fox news as ‘fudging the issue’.Several commentaries are out there now suggesting that Skeptics are deliberately refusing to consider the ‘evidence’ and that their denial of AGW is nothing but arguing against the settled science. That they have serious psychological issues and are in need of counseling. Sounds a like the old USSR that sent its dissidents to the Gulag for ‘psychological indoctrination.” So much for the dust bin of history.
As much as it is being downplayed, however, the average person is not so much a fool as the left would portray them to be. Polls show that belief in AGW is down to 57% from 81% two years ago, which is why the left is saying we need shock treatments.
The American media will not notice I would think
Is there an enclave of ‘polar’ scientists that whispers into algore’s ears?
