Climategate: The Next Generation

In an almighty battle to salvage credibility…

[T]hree British government institutions are embroiled in a new global warming scandal with the BBC mounting a legal challenge to force ministers to admit the truth. Sceptics ask: Is the UK government’s climate propaganda machine finally falling apart?
Last week the weather service caused a sensation by making the startling claim that it was gagged by government ministers from issuing a cold winter forecast. Instead, a milder than average prediction was made that has been resoundingly ridiculed in one of the worst winters in a century.
With the BBC appearing to take the side of the Met Office by seeking to force the government to give honest answers, untold harm will likely befall Prime Minister Cameron’s global warming policies on energy, taxation and the environment.

  1. The British government needs taxes,desperately,and will somehow figure out a way to keep the sheeple babboozled.
    Maybe the government should mention that if every British citizen would wear a full burkha/hijab/niquab made of good Scottish wool, they wouldn’t feel the results of the temporary cold weather phenomenon so much.
    There’ll be hot days later this year,and they can restart the rhetoric as the cold fades from the public mind like last year’s football scores.

  2. “… untold harm will likely befall Prime Minister Cameron’s global warming policies on energy, taxation and the environment”
    And THAT is precisely why people are rightly concerned about AGW hysteria. It’s a money grab by socialists.

  3. Giving a strong hint that a major rift appears to have opened up between Met Office chief executive, John Hirst and Climate Minister, Huhne”
    Climate Minister Huhne?
    You know the enitire polical discourse of a nation is permanently pegged to a Leftist stand-and-hold position when there is a ‘Minstry of Climate’ and a “conservative” government in power.

  4. so the three governmental apocalyptic horseman of climate doom & gloom are turning on each other like 3 rats in a one rat life raft.
    Excellent news. Global Warming, nee Climate Change, nee Climate Disruption, aka Climate Con job is rotting form the inside out like some mangled corpse on a hot day.

  5. You folks just don’t get it. If it wasn’t for global warming, it would be really really really cold outside. AGW allows it to be simply really really cold, eh?

  6. cant you all see , the Kyoto targets ,even though they werent met , have already caused the heat to reverse.
    Im waiting for them to claim victory and then tax it going the other way.

  7. Fake global warming, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
    They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
    They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
    They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
    They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
    Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

  8. In other climate news
    “A Saskatchewan farm couple whose land lies over the world’s largest carbon capture and storage project says greenhouse gases that were supposed to have been injected permanently underground are leaking out, killing animals and sending groundwater foaming to the surface like shaken-up soda pop.”

  9. Dead on Fred; remember those 15 mouse mousetraps? What we have here is a multi rat, rat-trap, in those old traps you were supposed to fill a little trough with food, and when you had a bunch you would poison them. Most of us set the thing and forgot about it, it would fill up and the rats and mice would eat all the feed,(taxpayers money) then turn on each other like so many theives, eating each other until the last mouse/rat (Gore/Suzuki) starved to death. Starve these theives of our money, for our childrens sake. Think of the children David, is that not your line. Well we do, and we want you and your band of theives out of our pockets now, tell your MP, MLA now!

  10. “cant you all see , the Kyoto targets ,even though they werent met , have already caused the heat to reverse.”
    No! But I’m starting to think that we can blame the Arizona massacre on Global Warming; with all of that *target* rhetoric.

  11. “…untold harm will likely befall Prime Minister Cameron’s global warming policies on energy, taxation and the environment.”
    And it’s high time it did. Shame on Cameron for subjecting the people of UK to this criminal conspiracy to defraud.

  12. OK, who coulda guessed another silly eco/enviro/whacko/carbon/racketeer/fraud scheme would start falling apart so soon?
    The much vaunted carbon seqmenstruation project- championed by Sask Power and the Wall government- has sprung some leaks!
    So nobody ever thought that by pumping CO2 deep down into the ground that it would never find it’s way back out again?? Really??
    Well, somebody’s making money, and we’ll all be paying for it. Gore and Suzuki would be so proud.

  13. Nikolai Chauchesku also dictated what weather could be forecast and reported. They all do it.

  14. The carbon dioxide project at Weyburn Sask was to enhance oil recovery from the oil field south of Weyburn and NOT about carbon sequestering.They are using CO2 from a coal fired electrical generating plant that was mandated to lower their CO2 emmissions.Its working also as they will get many more years of production by this method.

  15. Spike1, very good point sir. It turns out that liquid CO2 at high temperature and pressure (“high” being warmer than cryogenic) is a really amazing solvent. It can suck the oil out of a rock formation -far- more efficiently than water or steam.
    Actually, it would be very interesting indeed to see what hot liquid CO2 could get out of tar sand in a pressure vessel. I bet you it would work a lot better than what they do now.

  16. Incidentally, isn’t it interesting that BBC is all about the truthiness now that there’s a Conservative at 10 Downing St.? CINO of course, but still.

  17. With the BBC appearing to take the side of the Met Office by seeking to force the government to give honest answers, untold harm will likely befall Prime Minister Cameron’s global warming policies on energy, taxation and the environment.
    It Almost makes you want to cry.
    If your a political vampire.

  18. This story sounds far-fetched to me, the Cameron government had just come into power and I would imagine if there was any pressure on the Met Office not to release said forecast, it would have come from the AGW lobby within the top levels of bureaucracy both in the Met Office itself and in the government, but blaming the newly elected MPs seems dubious to me.
    Also, as I’m active in UK weather forums and make forecasts on them regularly, I can tell you that the UK media had massive coverage of non-government forecasts of a cold winter all of which have tended to verify by concentrating on December. The weather is currently turning much milder and while February could be significantly cold as well, January is likely to end up near normal now.
    I think what’s more likely to be true about the Met Office is that they just weren’t sure of the trend until maybe mid-November when it was becoming obvious from the more reliable global models that a cold spell was brewing. In any case, I would not believe anything I heard from either side in this dispute, neither the Met office nor the UK government have a very credible position on matters of climate change at this point in time.

  20. More proof that Western’s civilization’s biggest threat in this day and age are their own governments…Left or Right does not matter anymore.

  21. RHTT said: “Left or Right does not matter anymore.”
    That’s because Left and Right are just opposite sides of the same manure pile, that being Big Government, or Statism.
    The opposite of Communism is not Fascism.

  22. You English actually bow down or courtsey to your Royalty? What in God’s name for? They are always lying to you or otherwise giving you short-end of the stick.Oh! I forgot. The Beatles. England is bust and your prince Chaallz takes a huge raise while your queen gets caught ripping off emegency heat money from the poor and institutes a fraudulent ‘Global Warming’ campaign to collect additional unwarranted taxes. If the immigrant muslims have to straighten out the Royal house instead of you all you won’t manage as well as if you did it yourselves. Why keep such a vicious little breed of toad around anyway? Excessive wealth did not do them much good.
    I’m sorry if you can’t print this. It is why Americans can see and act if they want to. We will not be silenced.
    Here’s a note. Someone at Yahoo/uk/co removed all my posts from their search engine. Hey!!! Foul. I don’t call for anarchy. I demand justice for ALL!!! Let the queen and all rent a flat and get about on bicycles and a taxi for the elderly royals.
