Hacked e-mails allude to rigged warming tests - Scientist says messages being misunderstood
Calgary Hherald. ^ | 11/28/2009 | Richard Foot

Christmas came early this year for Diane Katz and other Canadians at the forefront of the most polarized political fight on the planet.

For many years Katz--the director of environment policy at the Fraser Institute, the free market Vancouver think-tank --has argued alongside her allies that global warming is neither a man-made phenomenon nor the doomsday crisis it is widely considered to be, and that the scientists who fuel such fears have in fact hoodwinked us.

Then last week Katz and her colleagues were handed an unexpected gift:a computer hacker had stolen hundreds of e-mails and other documents from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in Britain--an influential centre of climate change study -- and posted the material on the Internet, only weeks before world leaders gather in Copenhagen on Dec. 7 to hash out a new global strategy on carbon emissions.

The e-mail exchanges, between a group of powerful, like-minded scientists based in Britain and the U.S., written over the past 13 years, suggest they may have rigged their data, suppressed contrary information and conspired to control what should be an independent peer review process surrounding the publication of their scientific papers.

CRU must reveal all and replace its leadership. Other alarmist must also be made to reveal data and methods.

The hubris of these bastards is amazing. Evidently the unwashed masses can’t understand scientific communication. Sounds like the Obama administration.

"In the last 10 years, there's been a tremendous amount of observed changes in the climate," says Bennett. "We're observing the very changes that Mann's models predict

Bull. None of the models predict the cooling ( at least not rising) temperatures of the last decade.

Now they have left science and have become politicians. Now we are in for some real trouble.

“All this controversy will prove is the desperateness of the fossil fuel industry, and those they back, the tiny, minuscule group of pseudoscientific deniers, who are so desperate they will resort to this kind of criminal tactic— stealing e-mails— to make their point.”

In other words you HATERS “Deny Deny Deny, you are in bed with big oil, you are in it for a profit, you are criminal for stealing emails, you are just a small group pseudoscientist, deny deny deny. Nothing to see here folks!”

Former Senator and Vice President Al Gore seen here en-route back to prison after a federal appeals court refused to review his 20 year sentence for his lead role as spokesperson in the “Climategate” fraud conspiracy. The same court recently rejected the appeals of the lengthy sentences of the 137 alleged UN “scientists” – Gore’s co-conspirators – for falsifying data supporting so-called Cap and Trade legislation that trial testimony disclosed would have virtually destroyed what remained of the U.S. economy while enriching Gore and a cabal of insiders.

Notice that none of the conspirators have said the e-mails are not real, only that they have been “misinterpreted”.

The jig is up.

I say no new leadership for CRU. CRU should be shut down permanently.

By all means. The more, the merrier!

Heck, take this one too. I stole it myself but added the copy.

Michael Mann, a Pennsylvania State University scientist who wrote some of the offending e-mails, said the messages have simply been misunderstood, and wrongly turned from "something innocent into something nefarious."

2004 - Dan Rather: "The documents are fake but the story is true."

2009 - Michael Mann: "The emails are real but what they say is fake."

A new twist on an old theme. Liars never learn...
