Nature is playing CYA here.
It’s still uncertain whether the emails are genuine. Well, at this point, I’d say the statistical odds against any fake emails being added by the whistleblowers is about a thousand to one. Many of the emails have been confirmed, and NONE has been proved a fake—even though the global warmers would absolutely JUMP at the chance to do so. Not one.
And to say that the word “trick” stands out is kind of like saying that one of Stalin’s murders was worse than the others. No, sorry, there are HUNDREDS of incriminating emails in this bunch. They reveal falsification of evidence, cover up of evidence, conspiracy to commit fraud, ganging up to bully anyone who disagrees with them, abuse of the peer review process, and many other frauds and, yes, crimes.
Nature was not totally on board, I don’t believe. But they were very helpful to the global warmist conspirators and leaned heavily in their direction. So they try to downplay the evidence of this criminal conspiracy.
Come on, Nature. Your reputation is at stake. It’s time for you to side with science, apologize for any involvement on your part, conscious or unconscious, and repudiate fraud.
Yes, seems to be a rather coy article.
Amen to that. They didn't mention (at least in the excerpt posted) the statement by Jones that he would destroy the data rather being forced to release it. When he was finally backed into a corner, he said the data had been lost. He should go to jail.
