Wikipedia’s climate doctor
National Post ^ | December 19 2009 | Lawrence Solomon

How Wikipedia’s green doctor rewrote 5,428 climate articles

The Climategate Emails describe how a small band of climatologists cooked the books to make the last century seem dangerously warm.

The emails also describe how the band plotted to rewrite history as well as science, particularly by eliminating the Medieval Warm Period, a 400 year period that began around 1000 AD.

Why is this not a surprise.
The Fascist will do ANYTHING to spread the BIG LIES.

Wakepedia should be removed from the Web for aiding and abetting propaganda.

I just finished watching the movie The Net on Encore. In light of climategate... the movie seemed far more plausible now than it did fifteen years ago when I first saw it. This small band of green criminals has manipulated everything. Amazing! Unfortunately, unlike the movie the bad guys here will probably receive no punishment.

This is a terrific post.

Undercuts all claims of settled science.

Science doesn’t need to rewrite history.

Wow!

Can’t wait for AP to pick this one up and distribute nationally.

I just had a look at Medieval Warm Period in Wiki.

Sure enough. It admits that it was warm in certain parts of the world, but insists that it was colder elsewhere, and not as warm overall as it is now.

And sure enough, it cites all the usual suspects. Mann, the IPCC, and so on.

Complete with bogus hockey stick chart.

Ah yes. We see the Ministry of Truth at work here, rewriting history and deleting the past. Wikipedia has become the latter-day Memory Hole.

The article says that the “Medieval Warm Period” was erased from Wikipedia, but I’ve referenced it many times on Wikipedia, to FReepers here, about that warm period.

I’ve never seen it disappear on Wikipedia... LOL...

By the way, if anyone wants to check and see what wording was removed and see if it should be added back in — you can do it. The history of all changes are recorded on Wikipedia, so you can see exactly what was removed and what was added and who did the removing and who did the adding.

I would say that this would be a good time to check the wording that was removed and see about putting it back in — as long as that wording is back up by referenced articles.
