At Planet Gore, more exerpts from the Hadley CRU files;
And, perhaps most reprehensibly, a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. How, in other words, to create a scientific climate in which anyone who disagrees with AGW can be written off as a crank, whose views do not have a scrap of authority.

From the comments;
I love the e-mails back and forth about the endpoint problem in the F77 models, where the interpolation algorithm tends to skew the graph way up near the endpoint regardless of the input data because of the way the algorithm works.
They weren’t worried about the algorithm per se, but whether it would be noticed.
…
I’m a researcher, at least when I find the time. I have considerable experience writing and reviewing technical papers.
Presuming that these email excerpts collected by Delingpole are not taken out of context, this is amazing stuff. It indicates a clear debauchery and politicalization of the scientific method.
All researchers want their horse to win, but for most its tempered – at least at the conscious level – by a deep dedication to fair play and the truth. As a whole their integrity has always impressed me. If these emails by Phil Jones are as bad as they appear, he should spend the rest of his days as a Wall-Mart greeter, cause he doesn’t deserve to be a scientist.

Last night I did a Google search for FOI2009.ZIP and got 19 results, tonight I get 1080.
Expect much more of this.

Cbc radio has a site where you can submit questions for the dynamic duo of Suzuki and Gore who will be there on the 25th. Oddly enough they stopped taking questions about 8 hours ago,perhaps because they were linked to from here about then. If you want to try, http://www.cbc.ca/q/blog/2009/11/ask_al_gore_and_david_suzuki.html#comments .
“Q Blog: Ask Al Gore and David Suzuki…
Thank you for commenting.
Your comment has been received and held for approval by the blog owner.”
These people don’t quite get it, we are the owners, fire them all!
And yet the Arctic, Antarctic and glaciers continue to melt. Go figure.
Now, I know that the last thing we can expect the right to do is wait for an explanation, but if you hunt around a bit, you see that the scientists in question are already out explaining how when they say things like “trick”, the don’t mean “to fool”.
Regardless, go on ignoring the fact that every single major scientific body on the planet is in consensus that climate change is happening, and humans are partially the cause.
Just wait for the “SUICIDES” to begin.
is the fall of climate change directly affecting the increase of post secondary education?

AGU Climate Scientists,
We are writing to encourage hundreds of you to participate in a unique opportunity to improve the public’s climate knowledge during the week before and the week of this year’s AGU Fall Meeting.
As you know, the Copenhagen negotiations (Dec. 7-18) are attracting hundreds of journalists
and will result in a proliferation of media articles about climate change. Recently, the
American public’s “belief” in climate change has waned (36% think humans are warming the
earth according to the Pew Center’s October poll), and December’s media blitz provides an
opportunity to reverse the trend.
Your participation is needed to ensure that climate science coverage across media channels
is accurate, fact-based, and nuanced. Provided that enough AGU members sign up to
participate, we will be offering the opportunity for journalists reporting during the
Copenhagen conference to submit their questions on-line and receive a response from a
climate expert before an article goes to press.
(emphaiss in bold are mine)
When did it get to the point that ‘experts’ needed to be ‘nuanced’ to speak the truth?
FOX is the only news network with any jounalistic balls these days.
And yet the Arctic, Antarctic and glaciers continue to melt. Go figure.
And your source for this bullcrap is ?
Aggregate polar ice cap mass has been increasing for at least the last 30 years.
Look up “East Antarctic Ice Sheet” for a start.
I agree John, climate change is happening. What about anthropological global warming? Why the name change?
As for the Arctic, there was more ice in 2009 than in 2008. There was more ice in 2008 than in 2007, yet C02 levels have risen in that time? To quote Keynes: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”
Artic sea ice extent
“John”, you need to do better. For yourself mainly, and others. Forgetting for the moment that your quote is just parroting the marketing speak of AGW….
“Regardless, go on ignoring the fact that every single major scientific body on the planet is in consensus that climate change is happening, and humans are partially the cause.”
Please list these “major” bodies. Every SINGLE one like you stated. We will all wait patiently.
Now, you claim “climate change” is happening.
Please fill in the following sentence.
“The climate of earth is changing from _____ to _____.
Simple. If something is changing you should be able to state from what to what.
We all await your answers.
You know, I’ve been wondering if this data release is just a taste of what’s to come.
You know, à la Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/canadians-find-shame-in-status-as-climate-change-dawdlers/article1372296/
Continuing to melt eh? This has what to do with the exposure of frauds?
As much as where we live is no longer under a mile thick sheet of ice … this bothers me …. not at all.
Glaciers Melt … moron gets wind of story and feels obliged to mention it.
What Fraud? says John
And what will be the story in the next ten years of downswing in global temps?
You don’t have a clue John … don’t know whether your ass was punched or bored.

would that be John Cross, cuz I was just thinking were is John Cross:-)))
now john, there has been ample evidence of poorly conducted “sciance” in the climate change game, so, now that there appears to be evidence of wilfull misleading practices, you still be the believer drum. At this point it doen’t matter as to what the real science would show, what matters is that those who have been promoting the scam have been caught lying and manipulating!!!
Latest from GlobeMail/MSM.
Please note this poll was paid for by:
a. Big MSM.
b. Big Al.
c. CRU.
d. Suzuki.
e. “Martin Mittelstaedt Environment Reporter”.
f. All of the above.

this could prove to be AGW’s watergate moment. fasten yer seatbelts folks !!!
Perpetrating a fradulent, multi-billion dollar money-transfer scam isn’t a crime; exposing a multi-billion dollar money-transfer scam, now, THAT’S a crime:
“Professor Michael Mann, director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Centre and a regular contributor to the popular climate science blog Real Climate, features in many of the email exchanges. He said: ‘I’m not going to comment on the content of illegally obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. I’m hoping the perpetrators and their facilitators will be tracked down and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows.‘”
Try this one more time and keep a copy of it lol. 🙂
Thaks for that site link TJ.

Since when did real ‘experts’ need to be nuanced to speak about facts they are supposed ‘experts’ on?
I am all for stopping ‘climate change’. In fact,I will contribute to any organization that can do it.One stipulation though,it must be stopped in June or July.
Can the Glob and Flail go any farther down the gutter?
This actually makes a headline?
Boy wonder enviro-reporter releases study by Hoggan associates, stating that a huge majority of Canadians want action on climate change.
Funded, of course, by the Fruitfly foundation.
Oh, and, wonder of wonders, Mr Hoggan, by great coinkidence, is the Chair of the Suzuki Foundation!
Is there no shame in these people? Or the G&M?
There might be some credence if this poll was done by Ekos, Decima, or one of the other major pollsters, whose business is accuracy.
But are Candians truly gullible enough to believe this self-serving tripe from the eco-fascists?
Michael Mann:
‘I’m not going to comment on the content of illegally obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity.

Dear Dr. Mann,
Blow me.
CBC wae right on top of the story this morning. Well not this angle, but A-M Tremonti’s replacement was harassing Minister Jim Prentice, for not having a plan ready for Copenhagen, you know, Canada must be doing something on climate change, time is running out.
DanBC:
Of course there is no shame, that is an ‘outmoded’ concept.
The climate change “fudgers” are about as scientific as the ‘hole salters’ of BRE-X infamy.
As with BRE-X, climate changers are after that exactly: YOUR CHANGE will result in THEIR RICHES.

news item on this at Faux news is gone!!!!!
they did contribute $42K to the dems, and zip to the repubs
gotta give credit to the hackers for speeding up the process of the ALREADY discredited, but nice anyways. And just in time for copout..extra nice.
Here’s a NY Times article on it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html?_r=1&hp
I checked out the questions for Doc Fruit Fly and Gore on CBC Q blog for next Wed. Apparently questions are now closed. The majoriy are standard puffball questions, but one or two do enquire about the number of houses Fruit Fly maintains. See cbc.ca/q/blog/ They must have been well edited by the producers.
“news item on this at Faux news is gone!!!!!”
nope, it’s just hard to find and not appearing in searches it seems:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,576009,00.html
I emailed this story to CFRA radio in Ottawa today. I have’nt seen a response yet. The morning hosts – Lowell Greene and Steve Madley are pretty common sense kind of guys and I hope would mention it on thier shows.
So far…….nothing
I guess if the media can’t do thier damn jobs, we’ll have to do it for them (again)
It has crossed over into the liberal press.

Uh, no. It’s been moved from the front page, yes, but click the “Science & Tech” tab, and it’s the lead story in that area.
People are missing the underlying problem here…this is COMMUNISM,masquerading as “global warming”. They will do and say anything to keep it going.A few well placed baseball bats,and more if necessary,is the only way to stop this take-over from the guys attempting one world government.And starting at the top is the way to do it.
Lots of interesting comments regarding this… has anyone brought up “Fleischmann-Pons” in regards to this mess?

I love that Statement “We are having trouble to express the real message of the reconstructions (FRAUD)- being scientifically sound in representing uncertainty (No science here), while still getting the crux (Bull shit) of information across clearly”
That statement will be used by the lawyers in civil trials (Commerce VS EPA), & by Federal prosecutors when one of these experts is found to have perjured themselves or refuses to answer.
Testimony, or affidavits provided to the US Congress are given under oath.
A lot of Money is involved and the fall out is huge. These shit house rats can’t trust each other, or remember what they may have said, or have written. It’s only a matter of time until the next shoe drops..
They can never assume that deleted files are all LOST
Will any of these prosecutions happen in our life time or will all the high rollers spend just enough money to drag it out until it doesn’t matter anymore. It could just be a larger version of our own HRDC or adscam or maybe Bre-x games nothing really gets accomplished and people forget.
Poor guy must be delusional. Thinks he is the Robert Oppenheimer of AGW?
The New York Times has a piece
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html?_r=1&hp
So where is Canadian Press or the rest of Canadian MSM now that NYT have at least put their spin out on the internet.
Tomorrow morning should give us an indication of whether Canadian MSM is willing to uncover where the bear sh*t in the Hadley buckwheat patch.
I’m just beginning to grasp what this is all about and the magnitude of it all. Will this really be as big as everyone here is suggesting? Surely some columnist is going to run with it, despite questions of legality. I mentioned it to several people at work today and got blank stares or that look of comprehension that you know is put on. Sure hope this isn’t some big hoax; it seems too good to be true. (Though sad for what it says about their lying ways)
This one is good its all about the right message Michael Mann said “we don’t expect to in any way be critical of the paper.”
Peer Review at its finest.

So far, I have been enjoyed the emails about keeping doubters’ papers out of “peer-reviewed” publications and methods for frustrating Freedom Of Information requests. It will be fun to watch all this unfold. The Democrat media will try to contain it, but they no longer have that power.
NYT article was interesting up to this sentence:
“But the evidence pointing to a growing human contribution to global warming is so broad and deep that the hacked material is unlikely to erode the overall argument.”
Hmmm. Think so? This fraud has not withstood the test of time and, IMHO, the overall argument is beyond erosion. Avalanche alert!
But the evidence pointing to a growing human contribution to global warming is so broad and deep …
that smell of BS finally woke the sleeping giant.
That’s how it should be written, IMO.
BTW what evidence is NYT going on about?
Don’t they keep up? We’re cooling for crying out loud.
when they say things like “trick”, the don’t mean “to fool”.
~John
You miss the fact that the prepoderance of the other e-mails show their intent is to fool people.
Regardless, you may be right about that one e-mail.
Maybe they were using the word trick as a prostitute would use it, as in ” to turn a trick”, whoring science out so to speak.
