Climategate 2.0: New E-Mails Rock The Global Warming Debate
Forbes.com ^ | 11-23-11 | James Taylor

Posted on 11/25/2011 9:37:12 AM PST by Arcy

A new batch of 5,000 emails among scientists central to the assertion that humans are causing a global warming crisis were anonymously released to the public yesterday, igniting a new firestorm of controversy nearly two years to the day after similar emails ignited the Climategate scandal.

Three themes are emerging from the newly released emails: (1) prominent scientists central to the global warming debate are taking measures to conceal rather than disseminate underlying data and discussions; (2) these scientists view global warming as a political “cause” rather than a balanced scientific inquiry and (3) many of these scientists frankly admit to each other that much of the science is weak and dependent on deliberate manipulation of facts and data.

Regarding scientific transparency, a defining characteristic of science is the open sharing of scientific data, theories and procedures so that independent parties, and especially skeptics of a particular theory or hypothesis, can replicate and validate asserted experiments or observations. Emails between Climategate scientists, however, show a concerted effort to hide rather than disseminate underlying evidence and procedures.

“Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we get – and has to be well hidden,” Jones writes in another newly released email. “I’ve discussed this with the main funder (U.S. Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.”

The new emails also reveal the scientists’ attempts to politicize the debate and advance predetermined outcomes.

The refusual to disclose the data from their research only serves to confirm what we already know: Man-made Global Warming / Climate Change is a LIE!

and has to be well hidden,” Jones writes

How do you deal with these so call scientists? they are doing a great deal of harm to society, can they be de-certified or something? I have seen some of these crackpots get exposed as frauds only to come back to life with another scam five or ten years later.

Environmentalists always use dishonesty whenever it can further their agenda to destroy capitalism.

“I have been talking w/ folks in the states about finding an investigative journalist to investigate and expose” skeptical scientist Steve McIntyre, Mann writes in another newly released email.

They will have no problem finding a jourbilist to smear the skeptics.

You're preaching to the choir. Folks at FR have been "at war", so to speak, for quite some time.

What is already clear, however, is the need for more objective research and ethical conduct by the scientists at the heart of the IPCC and the global warming discussion.

What's needed is to disband these organizations and quit supporting totalitarian theorists and propagandists with taxpayers' money.

The more nails in the coffin of that “global warming” scam, the better.
This latest email dump should seal the deal, hopefully forever.

What should happen next is these alleged “scientists” should be sued into oblivion for recovery of billions in wasted, fraudulently obtained taxpayer dollars. Seriously, has anybody sued those bastards yet?

The government should not be funding funding of any science that is not directly related to and at under the control of the military for purely military purposes. Any other science funding brings only corruption and political goals for which truth is not relevant.

The LEFT and its apparachiks in the MSM are yet again attempting to control the language of argument by changing the term "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".
