News is spreading across the internet like wildfire today that emails from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit in England (not too far from where I used to live) have been hacked by someone and released on the web.
An Australian publication called Investigate Magazine says it has spoken to the head of the organization, Dr. Phil Jones, who has confirmed that his organization was hacked and that these emails appear to be genuine.
If that is indeed the case, the material contained in these emails seem to constitute an astonishing acknowledgement of what I and many others have been saying for years: that the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming is nothing but a huge fraud.
An excerpt from one, which seems to be from Dr. Jones himself:
Once Tims got a diagram here well send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. Ive just completed Mikes Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from1961 for Keiths to hide the decline.
A trick? Real temps as opposed to un-manipulated ones? Hiding the decline in temps?
Interesting.
Heres an excerpt from another email, supposedly talking about a way to explain away temperature data that doesnt fit the pre-programmed model of capitalist evil:
So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean but wed still have to explain the land blip. Ive chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip
The Australian Herald-Sun lists a couple of places where these files can be downloaded: here and here.
I would urge some measure of caution concerning this information, in the event the Apostles of Global Warming may be trying to pull some sort of fast one (theyve been pulling a BIG fast one for years).
But if this information really is legit, its an out-in-the-open illustration of the kind of things some scientists have been telling us for years: that the IPCC and some other agencies are manipulating, massaging, and distorting climate data for years.
I have contended for several years now that this nutty theory simply doesnt pass the common-sense smell-test of credibility. The strong case Ive made stands independent of this new information, but it is a very interesting development.
If this is fully substantiated, however, those who have been attempting to perpetrate the biggest fraud in history should be held unflinchingly accountable for their lies and deceit.
They have been attempting (and somewhat succeeding) to bilk the taxpayers and consumers of huge amounts of money, in both taxes and higher consumer costs. They have also been attempting to rob us of our freedomsome of our most basic freedomsand our livelihoods.
And the U.S. Senate had better not make another move toward the assault on our freedom and Constitution known as the cap and trade global warming tax until this information has been fully vetted and investigated. The U.S. House has already jumped on the Fraud Train; the Senate must not be allowed to do so as well, and sell the American people down the river of environmentalist corruption.
This is a huge fraud. Hang ‘em.
Man, you’re all OVER this today! You must have a big honkin’ gas guzzling diesel you love to burn, or something! :-)
I posted the following around 5:45 AM this morning when I first read about this:
“This news is just breaking. Well need to let it settle, and become debate. It should cause the release of the hounds.
IMO there has never been any doubt that AGW was bullscoot, but now there is the possibility of exposing precisely the brazen bullscoot it really is.
Ultimately Id like to see some opportunistic Socialist con-artists swaying in the breeze, hanging from lamp standards by their necks.
Anxiously I await that debate.”
It seems “the hounds have been released”.
I wish I had a diesel! A MUSTANG DIESEL is my dream!..........
i say we make al gore give back all the billions he’s made in this fraud.
There needs to be a HARSH reckoning for all the damage done by the perpetrators of the global warming hoax. That includes those who knew it was a hoax but kept it to themselves for monetary and/or political gain
Well it’s not like you and I, didn’t already know this.
Duh!
But the fact that THEY knew it too....a day of reckoning needs to happen.
Fines, jail time and shame in front of the whole world as they tell that money and power was all they were after.
This will go unreported in the MSM...and if they don’t cover it, it must not be true.
AWESOME. I think all the kids seeing shrinks now because of the guilt trip layed on them by their teachers should sue.
I am totally loving this and it’s already made my weekend.
I wonder what the algore is thinking about this stuff.
It’s probably really pissed off.
Class Action Law suit ?
Yep. Fraud it is.
Btt
Worse than that- it doesn't exist.
Good job!! Keep em’ coming.
The key thing to know here is that the computer models are invalid and IPCC knows it. They are looking for another way to say that humans cause global warming. The latest trick is to use tree ring data to look at historical warming, and it looks like their lead researcher is compromised, probably by the fame and money.
I'm an environmental scientist and I tell you this makes me sick to my stomach.
This is just the tip of the iceberg...so to speak. _________________________ From: Gary Funkhouser To: k.briffa@uea.ac.uk Subject: kyrgyzstan and siberian data Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 15:37:09 -0700
Keith,
Thanks for your consideration. Once I get a draft of the central and southern siberian data and talk to Stepan and Eugene I'll send it to you.
I really wish I could be more positive about the Kyrgyzstan material, but I swear I pulled every trick out of my sleeve trying to milk something out of that. It was pretty funny though - I told Malcolm what you said about my possibly being too Graybill-like in evaluating the response functions - he laughed and said that's what he thought at first also. The data's tempting but there's too much variation even within stands. I don't think it'd be productive to try and juggle the chronology statistics any more than I already have - they just are what they are (that does sound Graybillian). I think I'll have to look for an option where I can let this little story go as it is.
Not having seen the sites I can only speculate, but I'd be optimistic if someone could get back there and spend more time collecting samples, particularly at the upper elevations.
Yeah, I doubt I'll be over your way anytime soon. Too bad, I'd like to get together with you and Ed for a beer or two. Probably someday though.

Not only is Algore on suicide watch, Goldman Sachs is counting the cash it won’t make selling carbon credits.
