Climategate: The Enron Perspective

There are a few people and organizations here in Canada, such as Suzuki, Maurice Strong, Sierra Club, WWF, that should also face an inquiry. No doubt Jack Layton should approve of an inquiry as he loves Royal Commissions.

Interesting isomorphism between the faithful who bought into the Enron scam and the faithful who feed the AGW-carbon trade con.

Both phenomena required religious-like faith in virtually thin air being packaged as a marketable instrument.

... and complete faith in their infallibility and superior intellect.

Ken: Mo Strong was wise enough to run this con from the safety of Bejing where he's been hiding out the past few years. I understand he's open to extradition to the US to face indictments for first the Baca water table scam and secondly the oil for food con.

Suzuki will have to share a jail cell with someone else.

IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri to face independent inquiry at the UK Telegraph.

“Rajendra Pachauri, the controversial Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is to face an international inquiry into the performance of his organisation.”

The article is good. The comments are better.

Sounds like they're going to set Pachauri adrift and whitewash the whole affair.

I'll be expecting him to resign any minute now and announce he's moving in with Maurice.

I've been following the climate debacle from the beginning so it shocks me when I read comments at CBC (and other places) where folks appear to have no notion of what went on or what it all means. A pretty typical comment of that genre runs like this: "Who cares if the numbers are slightly off or if CO2 is not the problem--we need to address pollution no matter what the source." Actually, I tend to agree with that view with some qualifications. However, they appear not to have peered very hard into the depths of the climate fraud to realize that if they want the problems of pollution addressed, all the money that has been poured into climate research (with fudged data) and all the money that would have been exchanged with third world warlords (Copenhagen) would do nothing to address pollution. It would however, cripple our economy to the point where we couldn't address anything--including an envelope. I sometimes despair at how the media is approaching the question. It's not just about the fabrications--it's the manner in which these lies were (are?) going to be used to wreck the western economies.

I share rita's concerns but am still appalled when some VIP or media blathers about "carbon footprints" and "dirty oil" as if nothing happened.
It is ironic that the UN is investigating the IPCC, when in practice and principle the IPCC was doing exactly/precisely what the UN intended it to do----produce propaganda to elevate unelected UN bureaucrats to global dominance over sovereign governments---complete with a military.
This scam reduces "Oil for Food" to irrelevance.

Pachauri's expendable, and they're about to throw him to the dogs. The New Official Line; "Mr.Pachauri's enthusiasm for saving the planet caused him to use questionable judgement, and he has now been removed from his position. We thank Mr.P for his dedication to the IPCC and the UN, and wish him well in his future endeavours".

Maybe they'll mention that he's "one of the finest public servants we have ever known".

Suzuki and Gore are untouchable,and here in Canada, any government that would prosecute David Suzuki,would quickly find themselves voted out of office.

Suzuki's the "most trusted person in Canada", if he was Catholic, sainthood would be mentioned a few years after he expired.

rita and sasquatch, you are both totally accurate in your assessment of the ignorance or lack of investigative thought process exhibited by many of the commenters and media. What is even more appalling is that many politicians that have the ability to spend billions are buying into this massive fraud just on the basis of manipulative politically motivated bureaucrats, purveyors of distorted science and complicit media.

I should start a class action law suit against Suzuki to recover the millions of dollars lost in the 2004 frost in western Canada where thousands of acres of flax were burned as the frost rendered it worthless.

Yes, Sasquatch, I too wince when I hear the politicians talking in terms that seem so out-dated. It's like blaming disease on evil spirits--I keep waiting for them to catch up. Now, perhaps Bernier's pronouncement the other day was a trial balloon for the Conservatives, but if the CBC is anything to judge by, his views will be scorned and dismissed. I laugh when commentors refer to "deniers" being in the pay of "big oil". Corporations have positioned themselves to profit from both sides of the issue.

Governments are looking for an acceptable excuse to gather more taxes. We are facing deficits. For a while, it looked like anything with a green stamp on it might just make the grade--that folks would reluctantly accept the medicine now in order to secure a livable planet for their children and grandchildren. The rise in taxes would likely just go into general revenues and not one dollar go to improve the environment. That, by the way, is another favorite argument: preserving the planet for future generations. It seems to escape some people, that if you wreck the economy, the planet may be festooned with green vines but the children of the future may have to forage for seeds and berries rather than make a living. Or else all their labor will go to pay off agreements of the Kyoto and Copenhagen variety.

And Ken, I know the bureaucrats are part of the problem, but I blame the politicians for refusing to be informed and also looking for the angle that will suit their needs and agendae (taxes) rather than what is good for Canadians. Judging by the type of comments at CBC, it would still seem to the politicians that we would swallow a "green" tax whereas we would resist a tax by any other name.

“Bali-Hoo: U.N Still Pushing for Global Environmental Control (Global Gov by 2012 Rio Summit)

“Despite the debacle of the failed Copenhagen climate change conference last December, the United Nations is pressing full speed ahead with a plan for a greatly expanded system of global environmental governance and for a multitrillion-dollar economic transfer scheme to ignite the creation of a “global green economy.” In other words: Copenhagen without the authority — yet — of Copenhagen.

The world body even has chosen a time and a place for the culmination of the process: a World Summit on Sustainable Development to be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, the 20th anniversary of the famed “Earth Summit” that gave focus and urgency to the world environmentalist movement.”

CBC had a program on Carbon Hunters last night. It was on at the same time as Joannie Rochette’s skate, so I think it got less eyeballs than normal. It shows how ridicules this idea is.

Suzuki did call for the jailing of Climate Criminals, and I now agree. I wonder how many years he'll get.

george dubya offered the name ken lay as sec. of energy.

ken lay the hub of the enron fraud. who is now delightfully dead before he could serve his prison sentence.

ken lay that george dubya wanted for secretary of energy.

Remember the hockey stick? Turns out there is valid data behind it.

Well, "splke1" from what I can tell, the best way for Saskatchewan folks to avenge Suzuki and his lunar leftie greenie ilk is to "keep drilling"!

Memorandum submitted by the Institute of Physics

The disclosure of climate data from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia

The Institute of Physics is a scientific charity devoted to increasing the practice, understanding and application of physics. It has a worldwide membership of over 36,000 and is a leading communicator of physics-related science to all audiences, from specialists through to government and the general public. Its publishing company, IOP Publishing, is a world leader in scientific publishing and the electronic dissemination of physics.

The Institute is pleased to submit its views to inform the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's inquiry, 'The disclosure of climate data from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia'.

The submission details our response to the questions listed in the call for evidence, which was prepared with input from the Institute's Science Board, and its Energy Sub-group.

What are the implications of the disclosures for the integrity of scientific research?

1. The Institute is concerned that, unless the disclosed e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for the credibility of the scientific method as practised in this context.

2. The CRU e-mails as published on the internet provide prima facie evidence of determined and co-ordinated refusals to comply with honourable scientific traditions and freedom of information law. The principle that scientists should be willing to expose their ideas and results to independent testing and replication by others, which requires the open exchange of data, procedures and materials, is vital. The lack of compliance has been confirmed by the findings of the Information Commissioner. This extends well beyond the CRU itself - most of the e-mails were exchanged with researchers in a number of other international institutions who are also involved in the formulation of the IPCC's conclusions on climate change.

3. It is important to recognise that there are two completely different categories of data set that are involved in the CRU e-mail exchanges:

- those compiled from direct instrumental measurements of land and ocean surface temperatures such as the CRU, GISS and NOAA data sets; and
- historic temperature reconstructions from measurements of 'proxies', for example, tree-rings.

4. The second category relating to proxy reconstructions are the basis for the conclusion that 20th century warming is unprecedented. Published reconstructions may represent only a part of the raw data available and may be sensitive to the choices made and the statistical techniques used. Different choices, omissions or statistical processes may lead to different conclusions. This possibility was evidently the reason behind some of the (rejected) requests for further information.

5. The e-mails reveal doubts as to the reliability of some of the reconstructions and raise questions as to the way in which they have been represented; for example, the apparent suppression, in graphics widely used by the IPCC, of proxy results for recent decades that do not agree with contemporary instrumental temperature measurements.

6. There is also reason for concern at the intolerance to challenge displayed in the e-mails." (more)

rita and sasquatch - Your comments should be posted in every office and classroom in this dumbed down nation. Listening to a few min of CBC yesterday, I caught some msm nincompoops yapping about how Max was making it difficult for the only sensible man (Prentice) in the Conservative gov't, to make 'Canadians' believe that the Conservatives believe in the cult of disgrace - Gore-bull in heat and his ugly sister anti-spring (no temp changes pleeese)!! It was suggested that anyone who questioned the climate hysteria racketeers err 'science' would be an 'unCanadian' person. The four or so minutes that I watched that performance made my blood pressure go way up; I caught myself, switched to Fox news and felt 100% better. Between Fox News, sda, Jacksnewswatch, Angry in the GWN and other news blogs I have been infrequently exposed to the stupidity and childish lies of CBC and CTV; that type of propaganda is not good for sane people's health. Depressing, boring and manufacturers of truth - all bad, all the time. If a person listens to them, then that person is a passive participant and therefore in agreement; that makes those know that they are liars very uncomfortable.

Let's put all of the CBC out on ice flows to keep an eye on the ice and count polar bears. If a bunch of newly fattened-up polar bears isn't enough of an object lesson, send in CTV's reporters and news spinners next...and so on! Sooner or later we'll have a new MSM that can actually report facts and not spin fiction.

"Suzuki did call for the jailing of Climate Criminals, and I now agree. I wonder how many years he'll get."

I agree, throw that despicable son of a bitch in jail!!!!!!!!!!!
