“Warmergate plumbers”
Post morning coffee update…
Finally, an actual Canadian news story free of dismissiveness, by Canwest – “From Climategate to Copenhagen” . Factual, concise, and it treats the scandal with the seriousness it deserves. Good job, Robert Foot.
This past week has seen Canada’s opinion guys doing the job their news departments won’t do, and a very good one at that – Gunter, Goldstein, Gormley, Adler, Solomon, and now Coren. The radio guys have been exceptional in this regard, in large part because they spend their days talking with their audience, instead of down to it.
As Mark Steyn notes, it puts the lie to sniffy proclamations such as this;

Andrew Bolt (in Australia) – “You fools. You cut your own throats.”
What do you think the people reading of this scandal there conclude when they then turn to, say, The Age or the ABC, and find there barely a word of coverage?
I’ll tell you: they’ll conclude that the media cannot be trusted to tell even the news, let alone the truth, when it conflicts with their agenda.
On a related note, your 9:00 am Saturday morning traffic report: more than 9,200 visits to SDA since midnight, 2,700 in the last hour.
Internal logs show significantly higher traffic than does web-based Sitemeter counter, which is usually the case. We’re pushing out 4.6 Gigs of bandwidth per day at the moment.
On another related note….
Unabomber*-Maurice Strong’s Manifesto has surfaced: AGW is the United Nations’ Agenda/To-Do-List/Facilitator.
“We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence: it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades.”

“The Commonwealth Climate Change Declaration
Port of Spain Climate Change Consensus:
The Commonwealth Climate Change Declaration
The Challenge of Our Time
1.Climate change is the predominant global challenge. We convened a Special Session on Climate Change in Port of Spain to discuss our profound concern about the undisputed threat that climate change poses to the security, prosperity, economic and social development of our people. For many it is deepening poverty and affecting the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. For some of us, it is an existential threat.
2.We reaffirm our commitment to the Lake Victoria Commonwealth Climate Change Action Plan and its further implementation, in particular by contributing to the efforts of member states in transforming their economies and strengthening the capacity and voice of vulnerable groups.
3.We recognise the unprecedented opportunity of our meeting just ahead of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen. We approach Copenhagen with ambition, optimism and determination. We welcome the attendance of leaders at the Copenhagen conference. The needs of the most vulnerable must be addressed. Their voice must be heard and capacity to engage strengthened. Many of us from small island states, low-lying coastal states and least developed countries face the greatest challenges, yet have contributed least to the problem of climate change.” (more)

“The great climate change science scandal
Leaked emails have revealed the unwillingness of climate change scientists to engage in a proper debate with the sceptics who doubt global warming
The storm began with just four cryptic words. “A miracle has happened,” announced a contributor to Climate Audit, a website devoted to criticising the science of climate change.
“RC” said nothing more — but included a web link that took anyone who clicked on it to another site, Real Climate.
There, on the morning of November 17, they found a treasure trove: a thousand or so emails sent or received by Professor Phil Jones, director of the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich.
Jones is a key player in the science of climate change. His department’s databases on global temperature changes and its measurements have been crucial in building the case for global warming.”

A Mr. Bennett from the Sierra Club Said…
“All this controversy will prove is the desperateness of the fossil fuel industry, and those they back, the tiny, minuscule group of pseudo-scientific deniers, who are so desperate they will resort to this kind of criminal tactic — stealing e-mails — to make their point.”
That last line, (stealing e-mails — to make their point) really exposes how that idiots left-thinking brain works.
It doesn’t really matter HOW the e-mails were aquired, what matters is that they do PROVE their point.!
Looks like a “field hockey stick!”
Do the rest of you get Inundated with press releases and quotes from the Suzuki Foundation’s “Climate Specialist” Ian Bruce?
I always suspected this guy was full of hot air but now that ClimateGate is exploding all around us, the obvious question has to be asked:
“If actual facts do matter then the media seeking knowledgeable quotes from a ‘Climate Specialist’ is like declaring a ‘Coffee Specialist’ to be some guy standing in line at Starbucks!”
There is one last chance for global warming, apparently Mrs. Tiger Woods is pretty hot (in more ways than one).
From the Ottawa Citizen article by Richard Foot:
…….John Bennett, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada, made the same argument, saying: “Mann and his colleagues were simply speaking in their own high-level code…..
Let us see now, using false information like ….trick to hide an intentional error in your code is “high-level code” in newspeak.
Michael Mann says:
“What they’ve done is search through stolen personal e-mails, confidential between colleagues who often speak in a language they understand and is often foreign to the outside world.”
Let us see now, unsettled people don’t understand “the language that is often foreign to them” so that a phrase: “to hide the decline” by the settled “scientists”, may actually be misinterpreted as meaning “to hide the decline” by unsettled people, can’t have that.
You would think that the “scientists” would have developed a scientific method on Big Lie that way the unsettled might settle.
“CBC continues to buck this trend, keeping its head firmly in the sand.”

Remember that the Communist Broadcasting Corporation is the home of one Dr. David Suzuki, the most famous and respected “scientist” in Canad’uh…According to eh, um, CBC and the MSM anyway. You don’t want Dr. Fruitfly to boycott the Ceeb and loose “The Nature of Things” do ya?
“The CBC’s Quirks & Quarks article is downright criminal. Absolute lies.
“For the most part, these emails reveal that the scientists were doing what scientists do ..”
“Now, obviously climate scientists should not be attempting to suppress research. But no such thing happened.””
Ron in Kelowna
I linked to that CBC site to see what the comments were and although the post is more than a day old and there is a comments section, there’s not one comment to read yet(?), now is it because it’s the result of “nobody goes to CBC” or is it because they cannot have anyone agree with them and are filtering out 100% of the comments?
LMAO!…Die CBC, DIE!
On a rare occasion, sometimes (When nobody is watching and I mean NOBODY) they’ll have somewhat balanced reporting:
At 6am this morning CBC newsworld had a report on the polar bear population. It stated that scientists are saing they are in decline and the Iniuts are saying they is “dangerously too many of them and they are too close for comfort”…One of them saying that it is related to the fact that “the bears are been portrayed as cute, white Coca Cola drinking teddys by the MSM” and that this year their region was forced to cut down to 8 kills for meat and pelt vs 38 kills just a year before. The inuits are pissed and they say “the scientists don’t know what theyre talking about”…
I’ll take the locals word.
Terry Tory, I suspect that is what they are going to do for the next several months. They will ever so slowly introduce some balance into their reporting and once they think the viewing/listening public has forgotten how unbalanced they were, THEN they can talk about the scam.
Besides that, the Inuit are an Aboriginal people, so believing everything they say is consistent with the Canadian Broadcorping Castration’s world view.
Robert Foot’s article is a step in the right direction. Disappointing ending. Bennett’s arrogance is typical of the global warming cloud and his opinion should have been deleted. Almost as though Foot didn’t want to appear to be biased towards the sceptics. The big lie has been sold to so many that it may carry on even though the lie has been exposed. CBC is disgusting. Our schools teach global warming. Even my Grade 7 son questions what they teach and this is based on simple observations of world climate. He is smarter than many of the so called academics of the global warming camp. The lying should not be justified as being for the good of humanity. The lying was done for power and money not in the interest of humanity. Humanity needs compassion and honesty. The e-mails show neither.
