Hacked Climate Emails Called a "Smear Campaign"

[Oddball]

Yeah, the MMGW Scientists are in good company: Enron, Global Crossing and Bernie Madoff

...and Albert "Shyster", winner of Nobel Prize for Piece'o'work!

Actually, Algore shared that with a few of the hoaxers in my rogues gallery...But like the typical spotlight hogs most politicians are, he just takes all the credit.

Yep...and his name is in the list just like the real Schweitzer.



I wonder if the Nobel committee will edit the posted reason for Al's recognition after the recent exposure of fraud.

Winners of the Nobel Peace Prize
2007

The prize goes to:

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC) and ALBERT ARNOLD ( AL) GORE JR. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.

Actually, I guess they inadvertently got it right. They certainly built up and disseminated. Now that's thinking ahead.

What a bunch of dishonest hucksters.

I don't need hacked Emails to know these people are full of chit. I knew that all along. Global Warming is probably the biggest scam ever created in human history. All people have to do is take a closer look at who is behind all this ridiculous fear mongering and they will find all the answers they need. How could so many blindly follow a dunce who actually claimed he created the Internet? Yikes!

goody goody and we have a couple of scientists above who know exactly what was being said in the hacked e-mails! - perhaps prof. Jeny can break the e-mails down for us in the general public and explain their meaning?

. The biggest news story of the day is one that has barely begun to break and will continue to reverberate for months or years to come. Someone hacked into a computer at the University of East Anglia's Hadley Climatic Research Centre, one of the main centers of anthropogenic global warming research. The hacker downloaded over 200 megabytes of data from the server, consisting of around 1,000 emails and a variety of other documents. He uploaded them to an FTP server, where they were available to the public, apparently, for only a few hours. The event is described here.
Before the documents disappeared from that location, several people had downloaded them and posted them in other locations. I downloaded all of the material earlier today and have begun to review it. The emails are stunning. They are authored by many of the leading figures in the global warming movement: Michael Mann, James Hansen, Phil Jones, Keith Briffa, Stephen Schneider, and others. They are remarkably candid; these individuals talk to each other with the knowledge that they are among friends.
They also suggest that pro-global warming scientists fudge data to get the results they are looking for. Just over a month ago, on September 28, 2009, Tom Wigley wrote to Phil Jones of the Hadley Centre about his efforts to get the right-sized "blip" in temperatures of the 1940s:
Phil, Here are some speculations on correcting SSTs to partly explain the 1940s warming blip. If you look at the attached plot you will see that the land also shows the 1940s blip (as I'm sure you know). So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean -- but we'd still have to explain the land blip.
I've chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are 1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips -- higher sensitivity plus thermal inertia effects. My 0.15 adjustment leaves things consistent with this, so you can see where I am coming from. Removing ENSO does not affect this.
It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with "why the blip".

Nothing makes me laugh harder than people arguing with science. Let me guess you don't believe in evolution either. If anybody is responsible for fear mongering it ain't liberals you dumb ass. As a matter of fact the only scary thing here is so many peoples blatant willingness to over look truth to go along with conservative agendas. Wake up people! I understand that liberals have told a lot of lies in the past but so have conservatives. We as Americans must become more factual about issues like global warming so we can keep the truth in whatever topic is up for discussion.

I see you brought you own load of straw with you.

Good job.

How "truthful" is manipulating data? Trying to keep other scientific papers from being published? These questions have been asked and your side is trying its hardest to silence a review. Where is your proof warming is 100% a scientific fact without question?

You didn't read ANY of the thread now didja?
