"UK scientist at center of climate controversy stepping down; University starts an investigation" by Raphael G. Satter, Associated Press | December 2, 2009
LONDON - The chief of a prestigious British research center caught in a storm of controversy over claims that he and others suppressed data about climate change has stepped down pending an investigation, the University of East Anglia said yesterday.
See: MSM Still Silent on ClimateGate Crime Against Humanity
The university said that Phil Jones, whose e-mails were among the thousands of pieces of correspondence leaked to the Internet late last month, would relinquish his position as director of the university’s Climatic Research Unit until the completion of an independent review....
Yes, they were LEAKED by a WHISTLEBLOWER, not hacked! Key difference!
Jones has been accused by skeptics of human-produced climate change of manipulating data to support his research. Many have pointed to a leaked e-mail in which Jones writes that he had used a “trick’’ to “hide the decline’’ in a chart detailing recent global temperatures....
It is NOT an accusation, MSM, it is a FACT!!!
The correspondence from Jones and others - which appears to include discussions of how to keep critical work out of peer-reviewed journals and efforts to shield scientists’ data and methodology from outside scrutiny - has been seized upon by those who are fighting efforts to impose caps on emissions of carbon dioxide as evidence of a scientific conspiracy.
Now you know the agenda-pushing MSM and it's globalist masters are worried.
When they start hurling the word "conspiracy" at you, well....
Senator James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican and a vocal skeptic of human-produced global warming, called yesterday for Senate hearings on the e-mails. In a letter to Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat who chairs the environment committee, Inhofe said the e-mails could have far-reaching policy implications.
Well, here is your chance, DemocraPs!! You say you believe in science, and science (as well as common sense) has told me and everyone else we have been cooling.0
Both Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency are taking action to curb global warming based on a report that uses data produced by the Climate Research Unit.
Which means the actions are based on a LIE!

Then finally, FINALLY, they report the truth -- through the resident neo-con of the ops page!
"Climategate: Dissent on ice" by Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist | December 2, 2009
RICHARD NIXON said he wasn’t a crook. O.J. Simpson said he didn’t kill his wife. The scientists who run the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia say they are “committed to scientific integrity . . .and . . . respectful and informed debate’’ with climate-change skeptics.
But as Nixon and Simpson eventually discovered, truth has a way of undoing even the most determined stonewall. Now it is the turn of the CRU’s climate scientists - especially its director, Phil Jones - to learn that lesson.
The CRU, a highly influential source of data on global warming, is home to some of the foremost proponents of the scientific “consensus’’ that climate change is a looming man-made disaster to be reversed at all costs. It is also at the center of “Climategate,’’ the international furor triggered when thousands of e-mails and documents were hacked from CRU computers and released over the Internet last month.
Sorry, they were leaked by a conscious-plagued person on the inside.
Assuming the e-mails are genuine, they are nothing short of scandalous.
Oh, they are; CRU confirmed it with their denials!
They reveal celebrated climate scientists apparently conspiring to corrupt the peer-review process, to suppress or finesse temperature data at odds with global-warming alarmism, to silence or discredit climate experts who criticize their work, and to hide or eliminate the raw data on which their own much-trumpeted claims have been based.
For years, climate alarmists have insisted their views are validated by the peer-review process, which ensures that only research of highest quality gets published in leading scientific journals or in reports of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There is no reason to heed global-warming skeptics, they said, since their findings haven’t made the peer-review cut.
Behind that smug public appeal to scientific authority, however, was what now looks like a concerted effort to blackball the skeptics. In a July 2004 e-mail, for example, CRU director Phil Jones dismisses as “garbage’’ the work of two dissenters. “I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report,’’ he assures fellow scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University. “Kevin and I will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!’’
In another e-mail, Mann fumes because the peer-reviewed journal Climate Research published a paper by two noted skeptics, Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “This was the danger of always criticizing the skeptics for not publishing in the ‘peer-reviewed literature.’ Obviously, they found a solution to that - take over a journal!’’ The only thing to do, he suggests, is rig the peer-review system: “I think we have to stop considering ‘Climate Research’ as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal.’’
Even more disturbing than such contempt for legitimate disagreement is the thread of e-mails in which Jones and other climate scientists discuss how best to evade requests for the raw data underlying their published work. There are repeated recommendations that records be destroyed. “Mike,’’ wrote Jones last year in an e-mail to Mann regarding the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report, “Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4?’’ Earlier, referring to requests for the meteorological station data used to build the CRU’s global temperature record, Jones had written that if the skeptics “ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone.’’
You don’t have to agree with the skeptics to be appalled by such anti-scientific behavior. The CRU documents make it only too clear, paleoclimatologist Eduardo Zorita said last week, that much climate science research “is full of machination, conspiracies, and collusion. . . . The scientific debate has been in many instances hijacked to advance other agendas.’’
Yes, and EWE KNOW WHAT AGENDA THAT IS!!!
British environmentalist George Monbiot, a fierce critic of global-warming skeptics, vented his fury over the Climategate revelations. “Opaqueness and secrecy are the enemies of science,’’ he wrote in the Guardian. “No one has been as badly let down by the revelations in these e-mails as those of us who have championed the science.’’
He's admitting they CHAMPIONED LIES!!!
Amid the uproar, Jones stepped down yesterday. As Nixon and OJ could have told him, stonewalling rarely succeeds.
And don't let it end there: WHO FINANCED and FUNDED the MESSAGE?!!!
STRING THEM UP, too!!!!!

"Scientists defend evidence of warming against GOP
WASHINGTON - Top White House science officials defended the validity of global warming research against repeated Republican attacks yesterday that cited leaked e-mails from some climate researchers.
Which would be FINE if they recognized the DECLINE!
But they are NOT DOING THAT!
The e-mails from a British university’s climate center were obtained by computer hackers and released last month. Climate-change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent.
In the first Capitol Hill airing of the issue, House Republicans read excerpts from at least eight of the e-mails, saying they showed the world needs to reexamine claims that the science is settled. One e-mail from 2003 was by John Holdren, then of Harvard University and now the president’s science adviser.
Related: The Climate Engineers
Yup, Holden a CRAZY CULTIST!
House Republicans asked for a separate hearing or investigation into the issue, but were rebuffed by Democrats. “These e-mails show a pattern of suppression, manipulation, and secrecy that was inspired by ideology, condescension, and profit,’’ said Representative James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin.
Yeah, why would DemocraPs be interested in the truth?
The science is proper and this is about a small fraction of research on the issue, said Holdren, a physicist who has studied climate change. “The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,’’ said Jane Lubchenco, a marine biologist and climate researcher who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
LIAR!!!! LIAR!!!! YOU LIE!!!!!!!
That should be SHOUTED at them every time they start spewing this s***!!!!!

"The Internet is All Over Climategate While the MSM Sleeps
The mainstream media has its head in the sand again while one of the largest conspiracies the world has ever seen is exposed via Internet media. As most readers have heard by now, years of emails and programming code have been uncovered from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, which is run by the scientists whose research is the basis for the world's belief in man-caused global warming. Their science is also the backbone for a massive global tax proposal on industry which the Obama administration is pushing in Congress right now.
The emails and programming code notes clearly show that the science of anthropological global warming has been a fraud from the beginning. The CRU has routinely adjusted their own algorithm in order to provide the desired temperature result during certain time periods.
"CLIMATEGATE - Peer Pressure
The thing to understand about the scandal surrounding the e-mails leaked from Britain’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) is that it is actually three scandals. There is a scientific scandal, in which the leading lights of the climate-research cabal conspired to fudge data and silence skeptics. There is a media scandal, in which reporters and editors on the “climate beat” at the world’s most prominent news organizations acted as stenographers for the cabal and ignored the scandal when it broke. And there is a political scandal, in which officeholders here and abroad used the bunk science as a pretext for expanding their control of (and take from) the world’s energy markets.
"ClimateGate Totally Ignored By TV News Outlets Except Fox
The Obama administration has another reason to hate Fox: it appears to be the only national television news outlet in America interested in the growing ClimateGate scandal.
"Climategate: it's all unravelling now
So many new developments: which story do we pick? Maybe best to summarise, instead. After all, it’s not like you’re going to find much of this reported in the MSM.
"Climategate Outrage Explodes As Carbon Tax Agenda Collapses
Outrage surrounding the climategate scandal is increasing as desperate apologists for the crooks caught manipulating data to “hide the decline” in global warming attempt to distance themselves from the perpetrators, burning a few scientists to save the larger carbon tax gravy train in a cynical damage limitation exercise.
The potential for the climategate scandal to derail the gargantuan agenda to exploit fraudulent fearmongering about global warming in order to ram through a new carbon tax is growing after the ringleader of the scam, Phil Jones, the head of the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, temporarily stepped down pending an investigation."
"ClimateGate Fraud Exposes Dirty Tricks Agenda For Global Government
Globalist minion Al Gore and the United Nations climate change shysters led by Phil Jones are in trouble. Last week hackers uncovered a pile of email and documents revealing what many of us already knew — the climate change agenda is based not only on easily debunked junk science, but outright lies and deception.

"As summit nears, Denmark polishes its green badge; Ads urge shift in habits to cut CO{-2} emissions" by Jan M. Olsen, Associated Press | December 3, 2009
COPENHAGEN - For months, authorities have issued climate-smart advice to the Scandinavian nation’s 5.4 million residents: Take short showers, use energy-efficient light bulbs, and cycle to work.
The meat-loving Danes have even been told to eat green, with less pork and beef and more vegetables. Cattle, sheep, and pigs belch or excrete methane, a heat-trapping gas more than 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide, the most common global warming gas.
And YOU are going to have to pay a TAX on that for GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, world! What shit -- literally!!!!
I guess we should kill all the animals, huh?
The messages are everywhere: on billboards, TV commercials, newspaper advertisements, and in brochures handed out at public gatherings. “We literally have been bombarded in recent months,’’ said Christine Feldthaus, a Danish lifestyle writer. “For some it’s common sense. For others, it could sound like a doomsday prophecy - change your habits now or else.’’
Yeah, that is the farter's-dilemma.
Hey, LYING TO YOU is HARD WORK, world!
The UN climate conference, which starts Monday, offers a chance for Denmark to promote its self-image to the world as an environmentally conscious nation and a role model in terms of green growth. The Danes have reasons to be proud.... But there’s also a sooty side to the story. Denmark is still dependent on coal - a fossil fuel - to meet its energy needs.
Yeah, we ALL ARE! Solar, wind, and the rest simply cannot supply the power necessary to RUN INDUSTRIES!!
“We should not lose sight of the fact that Denmark has one of the highest CO{-2} emissions per capita in the world,’’ said Kim Carstensen, a Dane who leads the global climate initiative of the World Wildlife Fund environmental group. Denmark is also home to one of the world’s most prominent climate skeptics: Bjoern Lomborg, an economist who has suggested that money spent on reducing emissions could be better used, for example on medicines for killer diseases....
And that is all we will see or hear from him, readers!
Statistics aside, Denmark wants to show the world that its citizens are ready to change their lifestyles to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint....
Yeah, WHO CARES what the SCIENTIFIC FACTS ARE!!!!
STATISTICS ASIDE and DAMN the TORPEDOES!!!!
Several climate change awareness events are planned during the summit....
PFFFFFFTTT!
Some Danes think it’s just too much. “Temperatures have oscillated a lot in the past and my feeling is global warming and all that CO{-2} talk could just be a new fad,’’ said Mathias Bendtner, a 28-year-old businessman.
We call it a LIE here!
He said some of the more alarmist climate campaigners have made it sound like “the world will stop turning on Jan. 1’’ if world leaders fail to reach a climate agreement in Copenhagen.
Others are more positive....
I'm tired of agenda-pushing s***.
Now certainly CLIMATEGATE must be mentioned in this next piece:
"Aussies vote down bill on carbon trading; Decision will not affect UN talks" by Rohan Sullivan, Associated Press | December 3, 2009
SYDNEY - Australia’s Senate yesterday defeated the government’s plan to implement a carbon pollution trading system to fight global warming, dashing hopes of setting an example for other nations at UN climate change talks next week.
The scuttled proposal would have placed Australia alongside the European Union and a handful of other places that have, or are considering, “cap-and-trade’’ systems to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and burnished Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s international reputation as a leader on the issue. Instead, Rudd, a man who basked in a burst of applause from delegates at a UN conference two years ago for ending Australia’s holdout status on the Kyoto Protocol, will attend the next one - in Copenhagen starting Monday - with a big setback on his hands.
The defeat does not have a direct bearing on the meetings in the Danish capital. But as a wealthy country with among the world’s highest greenhouse pollution rates per person, Australia was being looked to for signs of how committed developed nations are to cutting emissions. “It’s not like the talks will stall because of the lack of an Australian emissions trading scheme [ETS],’’ said Frank Jotzo, an Australian National University expert on international climate change negotiations. “But if the legislation had been passed, that would have sent a very positive signal internationally and, in particular, to developing countries.’’
The Senate, where Rudd’s center-left government does not have a majority, voted 41-33 against a bill to install a system that would limit the amount of heat-trapping gases companies can pump into the air and create pollution permits that could be bought and sold. The aim: Incentives for companies to lower emissions because they could sell excess permits for profit. Yesterday’s vote followed a tumultuous two-week debate, during which the main opposition party, the conservative Liberals, at first agreed to support a version of the government’s bill, then on Tuesday dramatically dumped its leader and switched sides after bitter divisions erupted within the party.
They MUST have got the WORD about CLIMATEGATE, huh?
“Today the climate change extremists and deniers in the Liberal party have stopped this nation from taking decisive action on climate change,’’ acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard told reporters in the capital, Canberra.
Actually, that would be YOU, liar!!!!
Rudd was on his way home from a White House visit at the time of the vote, and did not comment. Before he met President Obama, Rudd said he expected their talks would focus on efforts to get a “robust Copenhagen agreement.’’ He did not elaborate after the meeting. About 100 world leaders will gather in Copenhagen during the 12-day conference to try to hammer out a framework to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which sets targets for industrialized countries to reduce carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for warming the atmosphere. That treaty expires in 2012. Scientists warn of potentially catastrophic climate change....
Quit pissing in the wind! I thought you guys were smart!
In Tokyo, Japan’s Environment Minister Sakihito Ozawa, speaking at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan, Ozawa also said Japan’s Cabinet is discussing a proposal to impose a “green tax’’ on fossil fuels to combat global warming, but he did not give details....
Gillard said the government would reintroduce the bill to Parliament in February to give the opposition one more chance to change its mind....
Australia is a small greenhouse gas polluter in global terms but one of the worst per capita because it relies heavily for its electricity on its abundant reserves of coal. As the driest continent after Antarctica, it is also considered one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. The European Union has a carbon trading system, as do some US states.
Yeah, New England has one. It's why the electric rates went up.
Canada and New Zealand are among countries considering or in the process of implementing them.

Nope, NOTHING ABOUT CLIMATEGATE!!
You still breathing, Glob?
