ClimateGate: The Big Story

“Truly Nixonian in nature…”

“This could prove to be climate science’s Vietnam.”

“Al Gore Wishes He Never Invented The Internet”

Though you may have heard this already, there’s a chance you haven’t, since the MSM have completely ignored it (though one UK writer is advising you dump any shares in ‘green’ companies immediately), so…Here goes. It broke at the beginning of my battle with Whatever This Bug is, so I’m late, but it’s too big to ignore, particularly since I’ve thought “climate change” was a God-insulting hoax to begin with. Though still getting my arms around it, I’ll give you what I can. Let’s just say this is so darned big that even the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said,

…this ought to be reason enough for Congress, and the poo-bahs at next month’s U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen, to back off any dramatic new anti-carbon measures until we know whether the scandal goes deeper than this.

Just a few short days ago, thousands of emails apparently from the Climate Research Unit of England’s global-warming alarmist University of East Anglia magically appeared on the internet. These emails, if they’re genuine (to me, this is all to elaborate to be itself a hoax), prove that those perpetrating the massive scam that is “global climate change” have intentionally, erm, lost or destroyed or ignored altogether data suggesting that not only is there no global warming, that it’s not man-made or man-caused. Indeed, some emails specifically say things like, “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temperatures to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from the 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline [in temperature].” This one, by the way, has already inspired its own t-shirt.

No adjusting of data fit a predetermined idea here!

Already, investigations of the scientists and universities involved are being called for. ClimateDepot.com is having an outright field day disseminating the latest and greatest in what should be a gargantuan news story spawning investigation after “gotcha” interview after expose. This is particularly the case when many, many Freedom Of Information Act requests had been made by various groups, individuals, and outlets asking for the data used to provide us with the models (language warning, but…it’s understandable…) predicting planetary doom and misery…and when we learn, perusing the emails (subject to FOIA requests), that those involved were asking others to delete related emails in order to evade the request. That, by the way, is illegal.

Jones tells Mann that he is sending station data. Says that if McIntyre requests it under FoI he will delete it rather than hand it over. Says he will hide behind data protection laws. Says Rutherford screwed up big time by creating an FTP directory for Osborn. Says Wigley worried he will have to release his model code. (1107454306)

So not only was there a conspiracy to lie to and defraud good, well-meaning people, but a conspiracy to evade the law?

Already, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has filed three notices of Intent to File Suit against NASA and the Goddard Institute of Space Studies over their refusal to provide the requested documents under the FOIA.

It is, quite frankly, a huge pile of poo, a smoking gun, a smear upon real science in general but ‘climate’ science and paleoclimatology in particular. In my current state, I cannot really begin to go through the data I’ve managed to figure out, but you are certainly most welcome to do so yourself. There are some real goodies here, for instance.

The NyQuil calleth, so enjoy your reading. It’s almost comical, really, and would be were it not so dangerous to liberty. Following, please view this short (about eight minutes) interview about the topic featuring none other than Chris Horner. It’s a good overview of what is going on, and you even get to listen to an “eco-entrepreneur” make no sense at all using no data, no facts, and no logic.
