Climategate: it's all unravelling now
By James Delingpole
So many new developments: which story do we pick? Maybe best to
summarise, instead. After all, it�s not like you�re going to find much
of this reported in the MSM.
1. Australia�s Senate rejects Emissions Trading Scheme for a second
time. Or: so turkeys don�t vote Christmas. Expect to see a lot more of
this: politicians starting to become aware their party�s position on AGW
is completely out of kilter with the public mood and economic reality.
Kevin Rudd�s Emissions Trading Scheme � what Andrew Bolt calls �a $114
billion green tax on everything� � would have wreaked havoc on the coal-
dependent Australian economy. That�s why several opposition Liberal
frontbenchers resigned rather than vote with the Government on ETS; why
Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull lost his job; and why the Senate voted
down the ETS.
2. Danes caught fiddling their carbon credits. (Hat tip: Philip Stott)
Carbon trading is the Emperor�s New Clothes of international finance. It
was invented by none other than Ken Lay, whose Enron would currently be
one of the prime beneficiaries in the global alternative energy market,
if it hadn�t been shown to be (nearly) as fraudulent as the current AGW
scam. It is a licence to fleece, cheat and rob. Still, jolly
embarrassing for the Danes to get caught red handed, what with their
hosting a conference shortly in which the world�s leaders will try,
straight-faced, to persuade us that carbon emissions trading is the only
viable way of defeating ManBearPig.
3. Hats off to The Daily Express � the first British newspaper to make
the AGW scam its front page story.
Express
The piece was inspired by another bravura performance by Professor Ian
Plimer, the Aussie geologist who argues that climate change has been
going on quite naturally, oblivious of human activity, for the last
4,567 million years.
4. BBC finally gets round to reporting � sort of � that Climatic
Research Unit at University of East Anglia may have been up to no good.
It�s true that this report on their website is so hedged with special
pleading for the temporarily suspended director Phil Jones the man might
have written it himself. But on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this
morning, I did hear the newsreader reporting it as more than just a
routine theft story. Which is a start.
5. Legal actions ahoy! Over the next few weeks, one thing we can be
absolutely certain of is concerted efforts by the rich, powerful and
influential AGW lobby to squash the Climategate story. We�ve seen this
already in the �nothing to see here� response of Dr Rajendra Pachauri,
the jet-setting, troll-impersonating railway engineer who runs the IPCC
and wants to stop ice being served with water in restaurants. This is
why those of us who oppose his scheme to carbon-tax the global economy
back to the dark ages must do everything in our power to bring the
scandal to a wider audience. One way to do this is law suits.
At Ian Plimer�s lunch talk yesterday, Viscount Monckton talked of at
least two in the offing � both by scientists, one British, one Canadian,
who intend to pursue the CRU for criminal fraud. Their case, quite
simply, is that the scientists implicated in Climategate have gained
funding and career advancement by twisting data, hiding evidence, and
shutting out dissenters by corrupting the peer-review process. More news
on this, as I hear it.
Lord Monckton has written an indispensible summary of the Climategate
revelations so far.
6. Watch out Green Dave! The Independent reports on the growing backlash
within the party to Cameron�s libtard-wooing greenery. Turning to the
Independent for a balanced report on environmental matters is a bit like
consulting Der Sturmer for a sensible, insightful view on the Jewish
question. Still, for once, the house journal of eco-loonery seems to
have got it right and the point made by Tory backbencher David Davis is
well made:
�The ferocious determination to impose hair-shirt policies on the
public � taxes on holiday flights, or covering our beautiful countryside
with wind turbines that look like props from War of the Worlds � is
bound to cause a reaction in any democratic country.�

The British scientist at the heart of a scandal over climate-change
research temporarily stepped down Tuesday as director of a prominent
research group amid an internal probe that follows the release of hacked
emails involving him and other scientists.
The fallout from the hacked emails is spreading beyond the U.K. Also
Tuesday, Penn State University confirmed that Michael Mann -- a climate
scientist on its faculty who figures prominently in the emails -- is
under "inquiry" by the university.
Dr. Mann's work reconstructing historic global temperatures has, over
the past decade, become a focal point of debate
In one email, Dr. Jones suggested to Dr. Mann that they should try to
keep out of scientific journals the research of scientists who challenge
the idea of man-made global warming. We "will keep them out somehow --
even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!" the
email says.

This is what happens when you have no firmly-held principles and choose
instead, to follow a formula that worked for a previous prime minister; spin
and fashion. I would imagine that The Independent story was inspired by
this;

The comments are the story in this link. It appears that the Weathervane is
almost entirely isolated in his own party.
