For a taste of how dirty the climate cabal can be, have a read of Benny Peiser's detailed piece:
On Aug. 31, Tom Wigley (a former CRU director) emailed Jones to notify him that he believed Keenan’s paper raised a valid issue: “Seems to me that Keenan has a valid point. The statements in the papers that he quotes seem to be incorrect statements, and that someone (WCW at the very least) must have known at the time that they were incorrect. Whether or not this makes a difference is not the issue here.” Jones was now in possession of authoritative information that undermined his claims about the integrity of CRU data products for which he is responsible. Confronted with the evidence from Keenan, and, most importantly, Wigley’s advice that Keenan appeared to have a point, Jones should have been insistent on getting the data and facts out rather than keeping them secret.

"The Big Wind-Power Cover-Up
Scandal: Spain exposed the boondoggle of wind power in 2009, discrediting an idea touted by the Obama administration. In response, U.S. officials banded with trade lobbyists to hide the facts.
It was a cold day at the Energy Department when researchers at King Juan Carlos University in Spain released a study showing that every "green job" created by the wind industry killed off 4.27 other jobs elsewhere in the Spanish economy.
Research director Gabriel Calzada Alvarez didn't object to wind power itself, but found that when a government artificially props up this industry with subsidies, higher electrical costs (31%), tax hikes (5%) and government debt follow. Fact is, these subsidies have the same "Cuisinart" effect on jobs as wind-generating propeller blades have on birds. Every green job costs $800,000 to create and 90% of them are temporary, he found.
Alvarez made no bones about the lessons of Spain for the Obama administration, which has big plans for "green jobs." His report warned of "considerable employment consequences" from "self-inflicted economic wounds." It forecast that the U.S. could lose 6.6 million jobs if it followed Spain, and it "should certainly expect its results to follow such a tendency."
A few months later, Danish researchers at the Center for Politiske Studier came to the same conclusion about subsidized wind power from their own country's experience.
"It is fair to assess that no wind energy to speak of would exist if it had to compete on market terms," their report said.
Straightforward experience, facts and the logical conclusions about policy failure in Europe should be de rigueur in science, and the reports coming from nations with long experience in wind power ought to be taken seriously.

"China Idles 40% of Windpower Turbine Output Capacity
China is idling as much as 40 percent of its wind-turbine factories following a surge in investment driven by the government’s renewable-energy goals, the vice president of Shanghai Electric Group Corp. said.
Prices of turbines have tumbled more than 30 percent from 2004 levels in the world’s third-biggest windpower market by generating capacity because there are “too many” plants, Lu Yachen said in an interview in Beijing today.
China set a goal to increase its power-production capacity from wind by fivefold in 2020, spurring investment in turbine factories. There is a surplus of such plants, National Energy Administration head Zhang Guobao said in September, without giving figures.
“The overcapacity in manufacturing is caused by slower growth in wind-farm construction due to power-grid constraints,” Dave Dai, an analyst with CLSA Asia Pacific Markets, said by telephone from Hong Kong. “The issues with the grid aren’t expected to ease in the near term but should improve with the development of smart-grid investment over time.”
Currently, only part of China’s power grid is able to take delivery of the electricity produced by renewable energy. Grid constraints in China may leave as much as 4 gigawatts of windpower generation capacity lying idle, Sunil Gupta, managing director for Asia and head of clean energy at Morgan Stanley, said in November.

Setting aside the obvious problem of dealing with intermittant production on a grid already troubled with intermittant demand.....
I am still astounded as to how a utility could possibly cope with a multiplicity of small inputs which for all practicable purpose are likely out of phase with that grid. The grid is AC not DC.
Emergency generators must be isolated from the grid, for just this phase problem.
To the electrically illiterate AC polarity switches from positive to negative 60 X/second. Being out of phase is like hooking up booster cables wrong on a car battery......fireworks...damaged components....
Kwok: a vampire/parasite in a lab coat in the fraudulent gravy train called Science.
Are there others in the science labs?
The host:
"NSERC grants, the lifeblood of science careers in the Canadian academic world." = tax dollar$.
How many billion$ have been burned/still being burned on "climate science"?
More expose, please.

"Scientist's spending has run afoul of Canada's research council
Canada's largest research-funding organization has slapped an extraordinary ban on a star scientist who is accused of plagiarism and of spending up to $150,000 in government grant money on custom car parts, televisions, home-entertainment systems and other equipment "inconsistent" with his research proposals.
Officials at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) say they have barred the scientist from funding indefinitely. They will not name him.
But Canwest News Service has learned the researcher is Daniel Kwok, by all accounts a brilliant engineer at the University of Calgary, whose career has been nurtured by the research council for years. He has collected almost $2-million in federal grants and fellowships.
Prof. Kwok, a nanotechnology whiz whose work has been feted on Parliament Hill and in the pages of The New York Times, now also has the dubious distinction of being one of a very few researchers ever banned from receiving NSERC grants, the lifeblood of science careers in the Canadian academic world."

This will make a good Mob Movie...Mann as crazy Bugs...Jones as Scar face... The UN/EU as the Communist criminal organization that pays the hit men...take a gainer off an UN building
It would be nice to Know the names of the Lawyers & Law firms that Crazy Bugs /Scar face have at their disposal....
Oh c'mon folks,don't be alarmed,everything will be OK. The consensus is still intact. This nugget of wisdom,and dare I say "denial" is from a recent CBC story. --- "Though the mistakes don't undercut the broad consensus on global warning, they have shaken the credibility of climate scientists and given ammunition to skeptics of global warming."
