Climategate: the little genie who could…
Britain’s premier scientific institution is being forced to review its statements on climate change after a rebellion by members who question mankind’s contribution to rising temperatures.
The Royal Society has appointed a panel to rewrite the 350-year-old institution’s official position on global warming. It will publish a new “guide to the science of climate change” this summer. The society has been accused by 43 of its Fellows of refusing to accept dissenting views on climate change and exaggerating the degree of certainty that man-made emissions are the main cause.
The society appears to have conceded that it needs to correct previous statements. It said: “Any public perception that science is somehow fully settled is wholly incorrect — there is always room for new observations, theories, measurements.” This contradicts a comment by the society’s previous president, Lord May, who was once quoted as saying: “The debate on climate change is over.”
The admission that the society needs to conduct the review is a blow to attempts by the UN to reach a global deal on cutting emissions. The Royal Society is viewed as one of the leading authorities on the topic and it nominated the panel that investigated and endorsed the climate science of the University of East Anglia.
Too slow!! No more grants for you!! Next!!!
Perhaps now the Federal Government will get the courage to state the facts about Global Warming/Climate Change, that it is not true. But they do not have the courage to stand up to the truth in this matter. There is no indication that they will NOT follow the USA on their Climate Change/Global Warming policies that will destroy both economies just to appease the enviroMENTALists.
Clown Party,
Why? The science is taking over and the whole thing is collapsing under its own weight. Governments should stay as far away as possible so the answer that we have been suspecting comes out as science and not politics. The politicians will fall into line, since it was “science” that was pushing them in the previous direction.
Its all coming out all on its own.
The Order of Canada should go to Steve McIntyre and Donna LaFramboise.
Steve for exposing the fraudulent Science.
Donna for exposing the fraudulent IPCC operations, processes and conclusions.
Two great Canadians.
Fred: start a Facebook campaign for that!
This was the tax scam that would have beggared the World.
In July 2008, Jeffrey Simpson cited The Royal Society’s belief in MMGW as proof that I and all at sda were wrong.
[ … and am in profound disagreement with you, as are … and the overwhelming number of scientific academics such as the Royal Society, … ]JS
I will gladly send him a link to the Royal Society back pedal.
Anyone care to join me?

Oh, and Jeff wrote a book on global warming.
Oh, the shrill words of the Holocaust…er I mean Global Warming DENIERS!!
You would’ve thought that CO2 was gassing the planet…
The massive fraud that would have been Anthropogenic Global Warming is dying an ignominious death.
Al has been Gored by Tipper and the whole thing is coming unravelled.
GISS scuppered its data, NASA muzzeled it’s staff, and now the august Royal Society is laying low the pirate CRU blacklist!

“The Order of Canada should go to Steve McIntyre and Donna LaFramboise.”
Nope, in Canada awards and board appointees go to the likes of Simpson. How many minds has he infected?
[In 1993-1994, Mr. Simpson was on leave from his column as a John S. Knight fellow at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. He has been a Skelton-Clark fellow and Brockington Visitor at Queen’s University. He has also been a John V. Clyne fellow at the University of British Columbia, a Distinguished Visitor at the University of Alberta and a member of the Georgetown University Leadership Seminar. He has been awarded honorary doctorates of laws from the University of British Columbia, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Manitoba, l’université de Moncton, Queen’s University and the University of Windsor.
Mr. Simpson has been a member of the board of trustees at Queen’s University; the board of overseers at Green College, University of British Columbia; the advisory councils of the Robarts Medical Research Institute and the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, and the editorial board of The Queen’s Quarterly. He has been vice-chairman of the City of Ottawa Library Board and was awarded the William Watkinson Award for outstanding contributions to the Canadian Library community.
Mr. Simpson has taught as an adjunct professor at the Queen’s Institute of Policy Studies and The University of Ottawa Law School. He is now senior fellow at the University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. ]
You know, you could use almost any name and add all those accolades to it and most people wouldn’t know the difference. Just like global warming lol.
Even though sda archives go back only a few years, they are worth more than most media’s archives of decades. Very telling.
I’d like to thank the internet bloggers world wide that reported the truth that Climate Change was a hoax, our leftard progressive betters had contrived the ways and means to take our hard earned money and tax us for the air we breathe. They lost for NOW, thank the internet because even so called Conservative Governments like Harper are still on the Climate Change bandwagon. Our elite betters will not cede or retreat to much money hangs in the balance.
That’s why legislation to build a new mechanism by which Internet content can be controlled is high priority for the “Progressive” governments.

“””since it was “science” that was pushing them in the previous direction”””
t’was tax dollars, that be pushing those scoundrels
Hitchens is obviously a racist.
The taste of vindication is sweet indeed.
Very interesting. If the The Royal Society feels the need to dig deeper into this, it definitely behooves the rest of us to not shoot “settled science” too quickly.
Afraid the public hasn’t completely caught on yet.
“Despite the fact that climate change is not high on the agenda at the upcoming G8 and G20 summits, Canadians regard global warming as the most important issue facing world leaders today, according to the latest Nanos Research poll” –

The fait accompli is a fundamental manoeuvre in the liberal playbook. By carefully limiting the public discourse with repeated claims that this or that issue is “settled”, their opponents will often make the mistake of shifting focus to opposition to certain elements that are tangential to the “settled issue”, rather than opposing the entire issue.
This was a very reliable tactic for all those decades when the dissemination of information was filtered through the echo chamber of a handful of news organizations. The rise of Internet citizen journalism has thankfully challenged that sorry state of affairs. The dinosaur media still seem largely oblivious to their slide into irrelevance.
Fat Als record burning wife Tippsy can’t even stand the bloated bullsh.t preacher any more, lets take odds on when and which one of the great Suzukers many conkubines turfs the little pervert when the stolen money creek dries up. Sooner hopefully than later the morons in the environMENTAL ministries here in Alberta and Canada will strap on a pair/ Renner and dopey Prentice would likely stap them on backwards, and stop all the money thefts. From plastic grocery bags to windmills this scam has about broke the western world, and that was the objective in the first place, Thanks Maurice you pig!
“…a blow to attempts by the UN to reach a global deal on cutting emissions.”
You mean a blow to attempts by the UN kleptocrats to cut themselves in on the wealth of people who actually have something of value to contribute to the world!
Right Ben ?
Jumping in late here (broadband would not connect yesterday), but I must respond to Fred (June 2, 5:05 p.m.) re: kudos to Steve McIntyre and Donna LaFrambroise exposing AGW fraud. I will not dispute Fred’s claim (tho I must confess that I don’t believe I’m familiar with either of them); however, I’m certain that the most vociferous, earliest and undaunting “Denier” in this country was, and is, Peter Foster of The National Post’s Financial Post editorial pages. He began exposing the bad science at least two years ago, interviewed scores of opposing scientists and, if I’m not mistaken, wrote a book titled “The Deniers.” Peter Foster surely is due any and all accolades that Fred proposes for McIntyre and LaFramboise, IMO.
It was Lawrence Solomon who wrote “The Deniers”. Also a regular on the FP op-ed page,so the confusion is entirely understandable. The FP has really done an outstanding job on the climate fraud. Or at least, it did the basic competent job that everybody else was too corrupt and stupid to do. In the land of assless chaps, the half-assed man is king, or something like that.
