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.

Oh dear !
I see our little creationist buddies are still silent on this.
Come as absolutely no surprise to some of us who actually think for ourselves and have an ounce or more of common sense.
It must be scary feeling for the numpties who have their minds made up for them by the mass media and the sicko criminals who own it.

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

''there's no such thing as global warming'' Goring - lol. At least two of us have actually read the speech ;)
(Sorry Cumbria, but the wettest November in Wales was 1965 incidentaly).
This climate change stuff has taken the form of a religion - where it's been fashionable to jump on the bandwagon and promote it as fact or get burnt at the stake as a heathen.
Come on world leaders - talk sense and take reasonable steps for once.

Fret no more, my lovely followers - Dr J is here...

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.

Yes, me! I live in the midlands and I would like a climate like the south of France and live nearer the coast without moving. :)

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.
P..S passed my test recently, the Cayenne is on order. ;)

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.
Dr J thinks the above is simply throwaway comments. :D :D :D

If CC plateaus for one ten-year period having increased for the previous 100+ years, are you really scientifically illiterate enough to base your findings on only the former?

The planet has been here for billions of years. Dr J thinks he has conclusive proof of something based on 100 years of measuring temperatures - lol.
Not to mention the data has clearly been falsified.

And he's just stated that in the last ten years as we've used more of whatever it is he claims we use, the climate has dropped.
What a mixed up greenie he is

The Pew report found that people over 65 are much more likely than the rest of the population to deny that there is solid evidence that the earth is warming, that it's caused by humans, or that it's a serious problem. This chimes with my own experience.
ffs make your mind up - are we contributing or not?

Of course we're contributing to CC, you fools - I genuinely don't know how you manage to misread the most basic of sentences.
My point is that even the leaked e-mails don't suggest that CC isn't man-made. Read them and see.

There will always be troublemakers in massive topics such as this. It is no big deal, or at least shouldn't be a big deal.
There is a surprising amount of flat-earthers on here though.
Although this should disappointment me, it doesn't as I am betting against the dopes.

occam, its that type of arrogant ignorance, typified by Dr J, which is losing the argument. Saying the earth is flat and being sceptical about CC are entirely separate things

I guess that we are going to have to live with the fact that the US Gvt, with all its might and power, has realised climate change is real; and a couple of guys on Betfair haven't. I shall sleep.

The US right seem to disagree. They are having freakin' hysterics.
If he actually signs something at Copenhagen I genuinely fear for his safety.
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.

obama will be the scape goat - blamed for destroying america.
his long term replacement will return them to constitutional law , as the elites from the states take back power from the fed. the federal reserve will be removed from the equation by its own doing - it is bankrupt, sold loads of fake gold to the chinese and now they want to collect.

Monbiot says the science must be reanalysed following the corruption.
Dr J seems happy to simply ignore this and carry on as usual. Blind faith. Creationist.

yes but he turns the article round at the end saying that its only a prob with that data, and only a couple of scientists are involved, when we know this is unlikely the case, especially since many other studies name his lot as having produced data that backs theirs up.
he has clearly not changed his opinion despite these revelations of late.

No, and he'd be barking mad to so.
It's one private e-mail, ffs - get over it. Yes, Prof Jones should resign immediately, but to infer from these messages that CC hasn't happened is laughable.

Err wrong yet again. It was 61megabytes of emails.
These, inter alia, referred to:-
1 Falsifying data to transform falling temperatures into rising temperatures 2 Attempts to suppress critical research from publication 3 Attempts to assure that 'peer review' was only carried out by accomplices who were on message.
This is fraud and as Monbiot writes,very damaging to the climate change movement.

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.
there are two certainties in life (at least under Brown) - death and high taxes - the rest is conversation.

Actually it has blown them right out of the argument. They have lied and lied and lied... how anyone can give these fwckers any sort of platform in future is beyond belief. The only thing 'man made' about climate change is the man made up data figures and the man made fortunes. Just watching the Queen in Bermuda still spouting the same sh1te.. 'Climate change boo hoo!! It's all our fault!' Give it a rest ma'am... IT'S A CON.
Wake up folks... the only thing 'they' want from you is your cash, pure and simple.
Is climate change happening? Of course it is. Is it being driven by mankind? Grow up FFS!

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.
