I know where the hockey stick should be shoved. Gore and Soozokie should be held accountable for all the people that have starved to death and froze to death because governments have squandered billions on THEIR dirty conspirasy, along with the noose for the despicable depolrable swindler Mo. Guess what you Dr. Evil types, Canada has evolved, your business as usual Kinsella/Cretin/Martin/Demarais/Turdoh/Strong approach to stealing no longer works. Majority fo Harper please before we are governed by limp wristed EU poofters.
David Suzuki and AlGore zealots have called for people who did not follow their religion to be jailed. Well, who should be behind bars now?
The pen is mightier than the sword and much less messy.
This is ignored/suppressed by the lamestream media but with the internet......
I have spread the word to my entire contact list...how about you?
True Democracy in action.
This is a good sign Kate, as it indicates that there is indeed sentient life on the planet.
The multi-trillion AGW scam of the century is finally being exposed and intelligent folk are getting informed.
Makes for not a bad weekend.

I have the kindest nephew studying environmental science at Queen's U in Kingston. We agreed some time ago to disagree on this subject. I wonder what he thinks, or even knows, about this disruption in the matrix? And of course his mom here in Ottawa is a proponent of all that is green and organic. Should be an interesting Christmas dinner...
And many thanks to Kate, who has been linking to the WUWT site for years. SDA is where I first heard of Mr. Watts' blog, long before other news and political sites took notice. Thank you, SDA!
Al Gore will demand the WUWT hockey stick graph be checked for a illegal blade. The MSM and local radio is serving up a collective yawn on this. Apart from Rutherford ( an independent) mentioning it, nothing at all. In Alberta they are ramming through new infrastructure for wind and solar. Can't have the truth leak out now can we. to much money is at stake. I will now return you to MSM hourly propaganda campaign and lies.
"I have the kindest nephew studying environmental science at Queen's U in Kingston."
You have no idea how much this statement hurts.
I have a degree in Biology from Queen's (Arts'70 biology that I got was beyond first rate, something I didn't realise until I went off to other colleges and listen to their professors (I spent 5 years at Queen's in the undergrad, taking tons of extra biology courses beyond the degree requirement).
"Environmental science" was viewed then as what it is today, an intellectually thin overview of the physical world, with way too much emphasis on geopolitics and not enough on a real knowledge of environments. Environmental Science, is not, and can never be, an undergraduate discipline. At the undergraduate level, the most you can obtain is an opinion, not even informed, as the required knowledge to truly understand it hasn't yet been acquired.
You know what they say: When you lie, lie big, because the sheeple will believe the BIG LIE.
This is a big lie to top all big lies.
'Problem in exposing it so that heads roll, is that far too many powerful people have got rich off this scam. It's a house of cards; if Gore and Suzuki, Mo Strong et al. go down, that's just the beginning.
Just watch these evil weasels go into overdrive to do damage control. How much more nasty are things going to get?
"I have the kindest nephew studying environmental science at Queen's U in Kingston."
If this crushes the whole climate industry there are going to be a whole lot of kids out there with degrees that are worthless. Not to mention all the little businesses that were set up to cash in on the scam.
Does anybody know what the outcome could be on the large corporations? I'm thinking GE, Dupont etc?
The environmental (read: fascist) movement has too much invested to let go now. You can bet that the spin-jobs will go into high gear to discredit this latest exposé. Don't be surprised if this is completely ignored and is business as usual with the main stream media and politicians.
This is the perfect opportunity to send Mr. Harper and Mr. Prentice a note to oppose “Cap and Tax” at Copenhagen and we have the ammunition to back it up.
I wanted to suggest Kate to coin the term "climategate" but it has already been claimed:
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/11/climategate_heats_up.html
Perhaps the kids out there with environmental degrees could just start working on the real issues that are indisputably serious - i.e. land and water pollution, degradation, etc. That has always been my frustration - "environment, environmental" has come to be associated with a belief in human carbon dioxide emmisions causing a change in our climate, full stop. If you failed to believe that the case had been made for AGW, you were labelled a denier, a skeptic (actually not an insult, IMO). It seemed to matter not that you were a believer in a clean environment, conservation of resources, etc. Perhaps this is the beginning of a return to sanity?? One can always hope.
How about 'Climate-quiddick'?
Tim Ball sums it up nicely . . .

I'm hitting Steve's tip jar right now. Thank you for that reminder. This man is saving the world trillions of dollars and we should support him as much as we can.
There could be an environmental Fatwa on him already.
Don't hold your breath. These are the same newsprop organizations that have ignored the iffy background of another branch of the same tree. I refer of course to Obamugabe and his associates now "ru(i)nning the US.
My view is that the AGW agenda, which is really a political agenda of a one-world authority taking money from producing countries to give to unproducing countries - will continue.
It will simply quietly drop the smokescreen of hiding behind a utopian and guilt-inducing cover that claims that industrial development is a sin.
It will move instead to an open declaration that industrial development and wealth is sinful and the 'fruits of man's labour' must be taken from him..by the government. This, after all, is exactly what Obama is promoting.
Suzuki will continue to preach, and Gore will continue to rake in his millions. They will simply ignore the data and focus on the 'sin of wealth'.
I too have a Masters degree in Environmental Science, but as my undergrad was in Geology with more than a few courses on the Pleistocene, the whole concept of AGW was patently absurd and completely unsupportable if you know anything about paleo climate.
But as others have said, there are actually real environmental issues that real scientists should be working on (and I do), like air and water issues, soil contamination, improving human environments in developing countries and so on.
Also, it is self evident that free markets and capitalism create the wealth necessary to have the surpluses required to have a clean habitable planet.
What really pisses me off about these clowns is that their actions have sullied the scientific approach that has created the world we live in today. The brand "scientist" has been severely tainted.
James @ 11:38
You nailed it. The worst part of all this is that science has been severely damaged by these charlatans. The general public will now look at science with disregard and mistrust. Scientists, I'm afraid, have been reduced to little more than snake oil salesmen for the forseeable future.
ET: "They will simply ignore the data and focus on the 'sin of wealth"
Then Barry Obama (B.O. for short) had better move quick to change the American Constitution to make him POTUS for life and crush his foes like Stalin...because the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" of Middle Class America is going to lay an "Ass" Whupp'n on the Great Red-deemer's Dem Party of epic proportions. Makings for a great "Hee Haw" song: .... and I thought I'd found true love, you became a commie, and PFFT! ..... you were gone.
This is the deadliest analysis that I have yet read, and I have read a lot of them.

I don't usually just post links, but this is a read the whole thing link.
Here is a little taste from an email to Briffa from another professor, Briffa is the scientist whose leg bone has been caught in McIntyre's jaws recently.
McIntyre is probably the only recipient of that Nobel Prize that the contributors to the IPCC shared with Gore that actually deserves it, that statement especially includes the Goracle himself.
I don't think the issue is so much that these scientists have sullied the name of science; they were, right from the start, hangers-on, people who, wanting the research funds, followed the govt agenda and 'worked' in these areas even though they had neither the expertise nor the commitment. They just wanted the money.
I think that the issue is that they were essentially bribed and corrupted to provide a smokescreen for the real agenda, which was to force, not ask, but force, industrial countries to hand over their wealth...not as loans..but to hand over their wealth...to 'developing countries'.
And we know that this money goes to fund the corrupt in those many corrupt 'developing' nations.
And, rather than focus on what could be done in those and our own countries, i.e., using our wealth to ensure as James points out, practical solutions to provide clean water, clean air, etc.. the AGW scam would simply enrich the corrupt. In all countries.
This agenda, of forcing industrial countries to hand over their wealth to the corrupt, is the 'de facto' nature of the UN. That's what it does. That's ALL it does. And this will continue.
We should be focusing on this agenda of the UN.
There are other reasons to be against coal than doomsday scenarios from politicians, err I mean "climate scientists". For instance, more radioactivity in the form of trace uranium contamination in coal gets released every than that released by the whole nuclear industry.
ET: "We should be focusing on this agenda of the UN."
The focus part will be easy - focus on Climate Change in 2012. Pre-sequel to be filmed next year.
Then eliminate UN funding. Without America giving up individual freedom, everything falls apart.
Here is a nice interview with Tim Ball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydo2Mwnwpac
He sounds much more upset at the bad science than pleased with his own vindication. He's a better man than I am.
Climate skeptics have been kicking away the foothill turds on this mountain of green weanie bullshit for a few years. Finally, someone with some integrity on the inside at the CRU, has fired an excrement -seeking missile into the centre of the pile. Now the rats are scurrying away from the slurry. Wonder how Gore and Suzuki will try to spin this? Why don’t you ask them?:

Old Media Report
AP - 22 Nov 09
Scientist: Leak of Climate E-Mails Appalling
(Ya gotta love the headline, but at least it's "leaks" now and not "hacked".)
Kevin Trenbeth (US NCAR Colorado)
- leaks aimed at undermining Copenhagen - DUH!
- deniers cherry-picked from stolen data -LOL!
Ding, dong - your goose is cooked Master Trenbeth!
I doubt the MSM will cover this for the same reasons victims of money scams do not report - embaressment - being played the fool. Scammers count on this response to keep their money making scams going and this, as Kate reported, is a 79 billion dollar scam.
ET: "My view is that the AGW agenda, which is really a political agenda of a one-world authority taking money from producing countries to give to unproducing countries - will continue."
From Andrew Bolt's The Copenhagen con: same demand, different excuse: "In 1970, the United Nations called on rich countries such as Australia to give 0.7 per cent of their wealth to the Third World - minus handling fees for the UN, of course."
Repeat for 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2009. Repeat until the producing countries either tell the UN to pound sand or pull out altogether.
Re: Trenbeth... Appears some of these guys still haven't learned when to STFU...
and more MSM tripe.
2. Damage to Iraqi Antiquities Was Media Hype
American-led coalition forces were blamed for the destruction of Iraqi antiquities following the 2003 invasion, including inflicting serious damage to the ancient site of Babylon.
But reports of extensive damage have turned out to be largely media hype, according to Forbes magazine columnist Melik Kaylan.
Writing in Saturday's Wall Street Journal, Kaylan noted that John Curtis, head of the British Museum's Middle East Department, was "the single most persistent source" of reports on the supposed destruction.
In January 2005, the BBC reported that "coalition forces in Iraq have caused irreparable damage to the ancient city of Babylon," attributing the disclosure to the British Museum.
The BBC said "sandbags have been filled with precious archaeological fragments and 2,600-year-old paving stones have been crushed by tanks."
Curtis went on to say later that a coalition helicopter base had caused cracks in the bas-reliefs on Babylon's original walls.
A story the Boston Globe stated that "Iraq's U.S.-led invaders inflicted serious damage on Babylon, driving heavy machinery over sacred paths, bulldozing hilltops, and digging trenches through one of the world's greatest archaeological sites."
But this year Curtis began to step away from his earlier claims, acknowledging that Saddam Hussein "had already caused grievous harm to the site in various ways" before the invasion, Kaylan observed in The Journal.
And a memoir published in April by Emilio Marrero, who was chaplain of the Marine Expeditionary Force that first secured Babylon from looters in 2003, said the site was already in poor condition and U.S. forces worked to protect and preserve it.
Marrero told Kaylan that the helicopter base was "up to two football fields away" from the area of supposed damage and the cracks in the bas-reliefs were there before the invasion.
He also discounted allegations that tanks had crushed paving stones and archaeological fragments were used to fill sandbags, saying they were in fact filled with earth.
Kaylan disclosed that Curtis made a June 2008 trip to Iraq along with Elizabeth Stone from Stony Brook University in New York, and found "little or no post-Saddam damage" in southern Iraq's eight most important archaeological sites.
"They did not visit Babylon in the north," Kaylan wrote, "but the places they saw covered a full fifth of the entire landmass of Iraq — all relatively undamaged."
The National Museum in Iraq has now been reopened to the public, with most of its greatest treasures back on display, Kaylan adds, because "the museum's most valuable items were locked away in a vault, untouched by looters."
ET: "They will simply ignore the data and focus on the 'sin of wealth"
It is not wealth itself that they find sinful, only that citizens other than the AGW/ICPP/UN elite might have some and spend it on their own desires.
The real sin, according to these marxist vermin, is the economic system that permits Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen to use their talents and moral faculties to rise from poverty and to create wealth for themselves and a higher standard of living in the countries in which they live and work.
To all who believe that this will kill off AGW, its "science", policies, etc all I can say is not a chance in hell?
AGW has never been about science, it has been and always will be about the politics of power.
AGW was always the means to an end, and with that end being so very, very near to completion this hack will stop NOTHING.
The politicians and elites pushing for more and more gov't control are truly excited that the end-goal is so very, very near. Think of a vampire locked away for years that just pricked a fresh victim and tasted a drop of blood. The years of pent up lust are boiling to the surface, the rage is released and he will not be denied.
These politicians are no different, blood has been drawn (Kyoto, IPCC, Copenhagen) and the disease/death (AGW indoctrination for socialism/communism) has already begun settling in the victim. They know nothing but their own desires, care nothing for yours. Shining a bit of light on them now will do NOTHING. They may flee the scene of this one particular victim but they really haven't gone anywhere, and with their lust at such extreme highs are more dangerous than ever.
Look to their agenda being advanced and regulations to start spewing forth at an unimaginable rate. By this time next year, this hack (inside job) will be forgotten and we'll be covered with the slime of environmentalism from head to foot.
Sorry to burst your bubble here, but the wooden spike to kill this monster will need to be much bigger than provided by an tipster on a Russian FTP site.
typo - not a chance in hell!
The ? kinda takes away from my point.
Well it seems that Harper still believes in Global warming according to atricle by CTV:
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20091114/Harper_APEC_091114/20091114?hub=TopStoriesV2
This was on Monday, Nov 23,2009. Even though Global Warming is now proven wrong he appears to want to use the terms climate change.
"We all would agree that CLIMATE CHANGE is an important international priority that has to be tackled. WE HAVE TO HAVE A LONG-TERM PLAN THAT WILL REDUCE THE RISK TO THE PLANET," Harper told reporters. "At the same time, we're in the middle of an economic recession, so obviously everybody's also concerned about the impact of that on their economies."
"(The Conservatives) are under some criticism for that and they have been since they came into office," Richardson said Saturday morning. "Many people believe the Harper government never really believed in climate change UNTIL MOST OF THE WORLD, INCLUDING THE AMERICANS, STARTING TO TALK MORE SERIOUSLY ABOUT IT."
I wonder if the Cons even know about the inside job of getting and releasing the emails and documents destroying this new religion. If the Cons still go along with the proven wrong Global Warming, they have NOT changed their stance even though science is not on their side. If he were smart he would acknowledge that Global Warming/Climate Change has no scientific facts supporting the theory and will continue to fight polution of soil, water and air with CARBON OUT OF THE PICTURE. I have no problem fighting polution but not Global Warming - using our tax dollars.

Great vodeo, yet the Cons still appear to support this religion. I guess they never watched the video. They are still going on public opinion, and the enviroMENTALists still rule, even though they have been proven wrong. Harper's respone is very interesting indeed.
