Climate Change:
Not long ago, we were pestered almost daily with another global warming scare. But the weather has changed. Now, it seems, each sunrise comes with fresh evidence that the scare is a fraud.
The latest setback for global warm-mongers is a probe conducted by the British Guardian newspaper, which discovered a prominent climate scientist "sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based."
The Guardian, which has a history of pumping the global warming scare, looked over the leaked e-mail exchanges from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and "found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced."
At the center is the familiar Phil Jones, the CRU director who's been temporarily relieved of his duties. He and the University at Albany's Wei-Chyung Wang, named as a collaborator by the Guardian, are accused of making "apparent attempts to cover up problems with temperature data from the Chinese weather stations."
These data, the Guardian reported Monday, "provide the first link between the e-mail scandal and the U.N.'s embattled climate science body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as a paper based on the measurements was used to bolster IPCC statements about rapid global warming in recent decades."
Researchers apparently failed to provide as a matter of public record the location history of 49 of the 84 Chinese weather stations used to generate the data. Jones and Wang are also thought to have neglected to consider the movement of Chinese weather stations. They failed as well to adjust for the heat-island effect in stations that had been in rural regions but are now in urban areas.

You would never know there was a scam if all you read was the buffalo news. not a word
Ruse, trickery, Global hoax, scam, it’s all the same
I would beg to differ.
When did a “ruse” become a criminal fraud, say as in what the global warming (AGW) global hoax or scam infers or has been revealed to be?
The list of “ruses” run on blissfully ignorant Americans is too long to print. Asbestos removal is something I’m going through today and tomorrow on orders from the City of Santa Monica. Second-hand smoke is another ruse. ADA regulations, green space, lead in paint, DDT, alar, etc. etc. etc.
How about FRAUD on a monumental scale?
That's exactly what it is in reality!

How about a “scheme to defraud” taxpayers.
IMHO
I gotta give some kudos to the Guardian for reporting on this. It’s pretty surprising to see a left-wing paper doing this type of reporting/investigation on this topic.
We think alike. How many things are just things that the left just thinks should be so therefore it is.
