WikiLeaks Cables Reveal How US Manipulated Climate Accord
Guardian ^ | 12/4/2010 | Guardian

Posted on 12/03/2010 11:41:00 PM PST by Dallas59

Hidden behind the save-the-world rhetoric of the global climate change negotiations lies the mucky realpolitik: money and threats buy political support; spying and cyberwarfare are used to seek out leverage.

The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial "Copenhagen accord", the unofficial document that emerged from the ruins of the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.

Uh? The evil American Empire is employing evil, underhanded methods to thwart the Climate Change scam? Could this be true?

No, they were using “underhanded methods” to push through the climate change scam. It’s just more corruption.

Is this why ASSange is in the crosshairs now? These leaks could blow the lid off of Soros et al’s global warming scam...

The fact of the matter is that the Climate scam was revealed by the very people trying to push it via those damning e-mails by Phil Jones & others who even ADMITTED that the temperature has not been going up & conspiring to employ a “trick” to quote: [ hide the decline ] & to DESTROYING data so as to not even be able to examine how they arrived at their lopsided conclusions. The source code itself was found to have been tampered with thus discrediting the data itself & showing how the folks involved in the scandal were not even employing the scientific method. This who scandal broke in November of last year & was known as Climategate & seriously destroyed the momentum of the climate scamers who have investigated themselves & let themselves off the hook.

You have to admit, there are an awful lot of people who are up in arms over the releases. It makes you wonder what they are hiding.

True, but where was the outrage when secret memos about Iraq and Afghanistan wars were being released and Asaange was being lauded as the next Bob Woodward?

And you people want Wikileaks closed down? That’s what is surreal!

I closed my Paypal account today because it wouldn’t let me make a financial contribution to Wikileaks.

Wikileaks is doing the work that the mainstream media and online blogs SHOULD be doing.

I had to take some online training for work this morning. The subject was the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This would seem to border on being a violation of that act.

I think real conservatives will have no problem with the WikiLeaks....vast majority of the leaks have been bad for Liberals and Globalists.

After this Climate Change Hoax hooey...I doubt that George Soros is funding Julian Assange. I am beginning to think the outcry against Assange is mainly from the Liberal Free Trade Globalists who are being exposed.

The CRU at East Anglica conveniently “lost” the original data. The method used to process (”massage” or “fudge”) the data is both poorly documented and probably not invertable. (If I give you the average and standard deviation of a data set, for instance, you cannot recreate the data set.) It is hard to give their claims any credence, given the provenance of their data and lack of transparency about their methods.

CRU violated the first cardinal rule of good science: they lied to themselves. Losing or destroying the data, the evidence, is merely inexcusable.

I am not a big fan of Galileo’s but when he was challenged, he told his critics, “look for yourself”. CRU tells us, “you wouldn’t understand”, the hallmark of cargo cult science.
