Its no use pretending that this isnt a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and Im dismayed and deeply shaken by them. Yes, the messages were obtained illegally. Yes, all of us say things in emails that would be excruciating if made public. Yes, some of the comments have been taken out of context. But there are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad.There appears to be evidence here of attempts to prevent scientific data from being released, and even to destroy material that was subject to a freedom of information request. Worse still, some of the emails suggest efforts to prevent the publication of work by climate sceptics, or to keep it out of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I believe that the head of the unit, Phil Jones, should now resign. Some of the data discussed in the emails should be re-analysed.

As much as I think there are balancing points to be made among the hysteria, I can't take this leak seriously simply because it's a selection of email from a population. It the whole were viewed in context I think it would be less of a story, but quoting part of the picture out of context is like being a gimp from Cornwall who thinks Maggie really didn't believe in society.

Manipulation of evidence, private doubts about whether the world really is heating up,suppression of evidence,attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) 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.


No context needed for all of that, it's clear what's been going on.

Now, Dr J and the alarmists, whatever happened to all of them..... ;D

Professor Phil Jones is a prat. He should resign immediately. UEA should sack him otherwise. Moreover, he should be doing the rounds of TV stations explaining what the hell his e-mails mean. Keeping a low profile is pathetic.

The claims that he's witholding data are most serious. This is completely intolerable. We all know that warming has slowed in the last ten years and there are credible scientific explanations for this (usually involving El Nino); there's no need to 'manage' data or hide findings. That's deplorable, imo.

Of course, one or two ambiguous comments amongst a thousand private e-mails hardly discredits the wider science. Nor, I would point out, is there any evidence of corruption here (unlike, say, the oil-company-funded 'Manhattan Declaration' that Chippie fell for). However, Monbiot is right to say it's a blow to the movement and no doubt Fox News will be focussing on these throwaway comments much more than the swathes of peer-reviewed, transparent evidence that's published on the topic every year.

And about this; unlike, say, the oil-company-funded 'Manhattan Declaration' that Chippie fell for, now I realise you'd like to change the whole direction of the thread given what an utter plonker you've been made to look, but let's not do that, hey. ;) The declaration to which you refer is hundreds of scientists saying they do not believe in the myth that you peddle, if you are saying that they have all in some way been corrupted then let's see the evidence ( on another thread ). The reality is you have no evidence, this is purely the smearing of scientists which the hacking of Hadley has clearly exposed.

It's a fraud and now we all know for sure it is.

the US right that are just playing their part in the theatre, although most prob dont realise it. all part of the plan. obama was intentionally elected as ineligible so that they could remove him in due course, once he's got through the sht that the elite want passed legislation-wise. he may have done sufficient already, or he may need to get climate change and cap n trade through too first. then when he is removed it will be heralded as a victory for the people yada yada, while the next bloke comes in. obama may get to form the north american union type thing first, before the next guy puts things back to normal again after. i would add, the fed will be gone by then, and the gold standard will rule the usa. in the meantime, obama thinks he has support of the elite - he only has support of the elite's puppets, and gradually they are turning the support off. the support will be gone in due course and they will get rid of him.

the politicians don't have a clue on this imho

analysis of the climate requires highly intelligent people to work on it in order to be meaningful, and it is more than likely that a brilliant individual will get to and be able to demostrate the truth, not a majority of mediocre nobodies - the standard pro "climate change is caused by man" politico says that "a majority of scientists" are agreed on the subject.

well, before galileo and copernicus, a majority thought the earth was flat and the sun moved round the earth, and before einstein, a (99.9%) majority thought that newton's laws of motion were correct at all speeds, and before godel, a huge majority thought that bertrand russell's principia mathematica was the foundation of all theory.

Bertrand Russell

Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.
