Simplified explanation: e-mail and other documentary evidence that this group was cooking the climate numbers to fit their agenda.

The Blue-Dress Moment May Have Arrived   [Chris Horner]

I am not able to fully digest this at present, catching up with the boys from days away and then up at O-Dark-Thirty for a flight to California for a talk, but check out what Anthony Watts among others have posted.

Now, none of us can attest to the validity of what has been posted on a Russian server (nor can we even be sure of how it was obtained, though it purports to be non-classified data held by a purely public agency subject to freedom of information/transparency laws). But I'm told it's almost 61 megabytes of files, and after a few days of scrutiny appears (to the kind of people who would know) to be legitimate. And very revealing, both the data and what are represented to be comments and admissions by leading lights on Team Alarmist.

If legit, this apparently devastating series of revelations will be very hard for the media to ignore. I didn't say impossible — they're fully vested partners in the global warming industry, because catastrophism sells. But so does scandal, and this appears to be the makings of a very big one. Imagine this sort of news coming in the field of AIDS research. Then reflect that the taxpayer spends more on climate-related research than on the entire suite of AIDS programs, far beyond drug research.

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,

Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow.

I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.

Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N.

The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Cheers

Phil

HOW COLD DOES IT FEEL? - NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE USES NEW FORMULA FOR WIND CHILL FACTOR
Evansville Courier, The (IN) - Friday, November 2, 2001
Author: RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, Associated Press writer
It may not seem quite so cold this winter.

The National Weather Service introduced a new wind chill index Thursday that eases some of the extreme coldness estimates of the old formula.

The wind chill index is a formula that estimates how cold it feels based on the combination of temperature and wind . It is widely reported in winter to help people decide how warmly to dress.

Under the new formula, a 10 mph wind makes a reading of 30 degrees Fahrenheit feel like 21 degrees and a reading of 15 degrees feel like 3 degrees. The old formula calculated that with a 10 mph wind 30 degrees felt like 16 and 15 degrees felt like minus 3.

A 20 mph wind under the new formula makes a 30 degree reading feel like 17 and 15 degrees fell like minus 2. The old formula showed a 20 mph wind making 30 degrees feel like 4 and 15 feel like minus 17.

I posted a compilation of links at our Canadian sister site:

Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]

So far, it appears to be genuine, but I advise jumping to conclusions until more info comes in.

If true, it's nucular...

If what this following email means what I think it means, then the wheels have just come off the Global Warming movement!

This news is just breaking. We’ll 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 I’d like to see some opportunistic Socialist con-artists swaying in the breeze, hanging from lamp standards by their necks.

Anxiously I await that debate.

MSM reaction:

Hey did anyone hear about the hacking of the bogus global warming site?

Yeah, but we have too many people working on Levi, er, Ricky Hollywood to really look into it.
