Institute of Physics Give British Parliament Devastating Assessment of "Climategeters'" Science

The Lid/British Parliament ^ | 2/27/2010 | The Lid

[Shellybenoit]

The 36,000 ember-strong Institute of Physics was asked by the British Parliament to take a look at Climategate and the University of East Anglia's CRU. They weren't asked to evaluate the findings themselves, but to look at whether or not the CRU had been adhering to the scientific method.

The institute said unless the released emails and documents were fraudulent, the CRU did not comply with honourable scientific traditions and freedom of information law and the use proxy reconstructions for the basis for the conclusion that 20th century warming is unprecedented. And that's just for a start. The Institute was also not to happy with the independence of the review of the CRU performed in December, right after Climategate.

Al Gore better dig deeper into his Hide-out Cave.

The REAL scientists are seriously p*ssed.

Legions of Global Warming Deniers

• Global Warming Petition Project, also known as the Oregon Project, has been signed to date by 31,486 American scientists, including 9,029 with PhDs, and nearly 4,000 with specific training in atmospheric, earth, and environmental sciences. All signers have the necessary training in physics, chemistry, and mathematics to understand and evaluate the scientific data relevant to the human-caused global warming hypothesis and to the effects of human activities upon environmental quality.
• The CATO Institute Climate Change Ad signed by 115 scientists, mostly PhDs. Ad in pdf form. March 30, 2009
• 141 Scientists Sign Letter Sent to UN Secretary-General Questioning Global Warming stating that the science behind anthropogenic global warming is anything but "settled". December 8, 2009
• U. S. Senate Minority Report: More Than 700 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claim Over 700 dissenting scientists to date  from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. Initially released December 2007.
• Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change approximately 1000 endorsers of the International Climate Science Coalition, March 2-4, 2008.
• Memorandum submitted by the Institute of Physics The Institute of Physics, with a worldwide membership of over 36,000, has submitted a memorandum to the U.K. Parliament in which they excoriate the CRU as an affront to the integrity of science, as well as decry the corrupt peer review process in climatology that has evolved to support CRU's anthropogenic global warming fraud. February 2010

Gee, guess the science is settled after all. Who would have thunk Al Gore was wrong? [/s] Call me crazy, but I would think its really kinda important to get the science right before we spend trillions of $$ and reshape our economies to fight a problem that doesn’t exist.

Was that the Thermodynamics branch of the Institute.

36,000 scientists conclude what any bright highschool kid has seen for months.

Great post! I wish it had more exposure.

parsy, who buttts it!

The first of the review's terms of reference is limited to: "...manipulation or suppression of data which is at odds with acceptable scientific practice..." The term 'acceptable' is not defined and might better be replaced with 'objective'.

That is how to dismember with a well-honed, thin-slicing knive. Best line of the report.

The embers were examining the “climategeters”, apparently.

Notwithstanding the title it’s a pretty damming report. They basically say the “science” isn’t science and using proxies to forecast is very dubious. We need a similar report in this country.

Wow, talk about devastating.

Phil Jones, et. al., have been totally discredited by the read scientific community.
