Breaking news from the splendid Bishop Hill. It seems the AGW establishment has launched an urgent damage limitation exercise in order to whitewash the Climategate scandal in time for Copenhagen. Here’s the (so far unconfirmed) story: 1) Lord Rees (Royal Society) to be asked by UEA to investigate CRU leak. 2) Foreign Office and government leaning heavily on UEA to keep a lid on everything lest it destabilises Copenhagen. 3) CRU asked to prepare data for a pre-emptive release in past couple of days but trouble reconciling issues between data bases has stopped this. The appointment of Lord Rees, if...

No commentary (laughing too hard??)... just a link and the summary below for those of you interested in the Copenhagen talking points, conveniently titled The Copenhagen Diagnosis, brought to you by: Citation: The Copenhagen Diagnosis, 2009: Updating the world on the Latest Climate Science.

The drab, drum-shaped home of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit is an anonymous little outpost, blending seamlessly with its chunky concrete neighbours on a windswept campus just outside Norwich. To the uninitiated, it has the look of a Seventies bus station waiting for the council to pull it down. Unlikely as it may seem, however, this little corner of East Anglia is now ground zero in a controversy which just might influence the entire future of our planet. A little over a week ago, hundreds of internal emails written by scientists working at the CRU were obtained...

COP 15 - United Nations Climate Change Conference Senator James Inhofe, one of the most outspoken critics of the manmade climate change theory, announced he would go to the Copenhagen climate conference as a 'one-man truth squad.' (COP15) Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe announced on C-SPAN this morning that he would be traveling to the Copenhagen climate summit as a “on-man truth squad.” The senator is one of the most outspoken critics of the cap and trade legislation and a leading skeptic of the manmade climate change theory. * Video: Senator Inhofe says he will go to the UN Climate ConferenceThe...

Man-made global warming is the greatest hoax in world history. The media, worldwide governments, and multi-national corporations are in on it. Al Gore has become filthy rich by propagating this scam. Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress are a big part of the ruse. Obama will head to Copenhagen next month in an attempt to con other world leaders to reduce greenhouse emissions. Given his utter failure in every other overseas trip, I am confident this will produce a similar result.

An NRO Symposium The University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit’s e-mail account was hacked earlier this month, exposing communications among CRU faculty members and researchers that reveal their willingness to distort climate-change data. Do those e-mails mark a sea-change moment in the global-warming debate? National Review Online asked environmentalism experts to weigh in. H. STERLING BURNETTWhy anyone should be surprised by this, I don’t know. Twenty years ago, Steve Schneider of Stanford stated that to be effective advocates on the issue of global warming, scientists would have to “offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little...

Just a few considerations in addition to previous remarks about the explosion of the East Anglia Climategate e-mails in America. The reaction is growing exponentially there. Fox News, Barack Obama’s Nemesis, is now on the case, trampling all over Al Gore’s organic vegetable patch and breaking the White House windows. It has extracted some of the juiciest quotes from the e-mails and displayed them on-screen, with commentaries. Joe Public, coast-to-coast, now knows, thanks to the clowns at East Anglia’s CRU, just how royally he has been screwed. Senator James Inhofe’s Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works has written to...

The lack of media attention to this so called “climategate” is unbelievable. I do not even know if we can even call it “climategate”, as nobody seems to acknowledge that it has happened. Of course Fox News has brought it up, as well as numerous talk show hosts but, there has been no trace of coverage almost anywhere else. When searching for climate stories, almost the only thing you can find is major coverage of Obama wanting to cut emissions down 20%. On CBS News absolutely no trace of climategate, but we did find this… How Capitalism Failed Us. Of...

What Al Gore is thankful for this Thanksgiving. (Includes an incredible image of the Whoremeister selling carbon nonesense.)

Oops! If the mainstream media was hoping that the Climategate scandal would be limited to the University of East Anglia's Climate Reasearch Unit (CRU) in Norwich, England, they are out of luck. This scandal has now reared its ugly head on the other side of the globe at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) which is that nation's chief climate advisory unit. Watts Up With That? reposting from New Zealand's TBR.cc Investigate magazine's breaking news forum explains this latest development in the widening Climategate scandal: The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate...
