Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing
University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as
"Climategate".
Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU's unfolding
Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker
or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP)
columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms "a truculent and nasty
manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding,
commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people".
"The files contain so much material that it is going to take some time t o
put it all in context," says Ball. "However, enough is already known to
underscore their explosive nature. It is already clear the entire claims
and positions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are
based on falsified manipulated material and is therefore completely
compromised.
"The fallout will be extensive as material continues to emerge. Reputations
of the scientists involved are already destroyed, however fringe players
will continue to be identified and their reputations destroyed or sullied."
While the mainstream media is bending into pretzels to keep the scandal
under the rug, Climategate is already the biggest scientific scandal in
history because of the global policy implications.
A throwback to the intro of the television series Dragnet, "Ladies and
Gentlemen: "The story you are about to hear is true, only the names have
been changed to protect the innocent", the innocent in Climategate have
already been thrown to the ravening wolves.
"There is a multitude of small but frightening stories in the massive
files," Ball writes. "For example I've known solar physicists Sallie
Baliunas and Willie Soon for a long time. I've published articles with
Willie and enjoyed extensive communication. I was on advisory committees
with them when Sallie suddenly and politely withdrew from the fray. I don't
know if the following events were contributing factors but it is likely.
"Baliunas and Soon were authors of excellent work confirming the existence
of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) from a multitude of sources. Their work
challenged attempts to get rid of the MWP because it contradicted the claim
by the proponents of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Several scientists
challenged the claim that the latter part of the 20th century was the
warmest ever. They knew the claim was false, many warmer periods occurred in
the past. Michael Mann 'got rid' of the MWP with his production of the
hockey stick, but Soon and Baliunas were problematic. What better than have
a powerful academic destroy their credibility for you? Sadly, there are
always people who will do the dirty work."
Indeed, Holdren's emails show how sincere scientists would be made into raw
"entertainment".
How the deed was done
"A perfect person and opportunity appeared. On 16th October 2003 Michael
Mann, infamous for his lead in the 'hockey stick' that dominated the 2001
IPCC Report, sent an email to people involved in the CRU scandal; "
Dear All,
Thought you would be interested in this exchange, which John Holdren of
Harvard has been kind enough to pass along." At the time Holdren was Teresa
and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy & Director, Program in
Science, Technology, & Public Policy, Belfer Center for Science and
International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government. He is now
Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy,
Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the
President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology-informally known
as the United States Science Czar.
""In an email on October16, 2003 from John Holdren to Michael Mann and Tom
Wigley we are told:
""I'm forwarding for your entertainment an exchange that followed from my
being quoted in the Harvard Crimson to the effect that you and your
colleagues are right and my "Harvard" colleagues Soon and Baliunas are wrong
about what the evidence shows concerning surface temperatures over the past
millennium. The cover note to faculty and postdocs in a regular Wednesday
breakfast discussion group on environmental science and public policy in
Harvard's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is more or less
self-explanatory."
The Wednesday Breakfast Group
"This is what Holdren sent to the Wednesday Breakfast group.
"I append here an e-mail correspondence I have engaged in over the past
few days trying to educate a Soon/Baliunas supporter who originally wrote to
me asking how I could think that Soon and Baliunas are wrong and Mann et al.
are right (a view attributed to me, correctly, in the Harvard Crimson). This
individual apparently runs a web site on which he had been touting the
Soon/Baliunas position."
"The exchange Holdren refers to is a challenge by Nick Schulz editor of Tech
Central Station (TCS). On August 9, 2003 Schulz wrote;
"In a recent Crimson story on the work of Soon and Baliunas, who have
written for my website [1 techcentralstation.com, you are quoted as saying:
My impression is that the critics are right. It s unfortunate that so much
attention is paid to a flawed analysis, but that's what happens when
something happens to support the political climate in Washington. Do you
feel the same way about the work of Mann et. al.? If not why not?"
"Holdren provides lengthy responses on October 13, 14, and 16 but comments
fail to answer Schulz's questions. After the first response Schulz replies,
"I guess my problem concerns what lawyers call the burden of proof. The
burden weighs heavily, much more heavily, given the claims on Mann et.al.
than it does on Soon/Baliunas. Would you agree?" Of course, Holdren doesn't
agree. He replies, "But, in practice, burden of proof is an evolving
thing-it evolves as the amount of evidence relevant to a particular
proposition grows." No it doesn't evolve; it is either on one side or the
other. This argument is in line with what has happened with AGW. He then
demonstrates his lack of understanding of science and climate science by
opting for Mann and his hockey stick over Soon and Baliunas. His entire
defense and position devolves to a political position. His attempt to
belittle Soon and Baliunas in front of colleagues is a measure of the man's
blindness and political opportunism that pervades everything he says or
does.
"Schulz provides a solid summary when he writes, "I'll close by saying I'm
willing to admit that, as someone lacking a PhD, I could be punching above
my weight. But I will ask you a different but related question. How much
hope is there for reaching reasonable public policy decisions that affect
the lives of millions if the science upon which those decisions must be made
is said to be by definition beyond the reach of those people?"
"We now know it was deliberately placed beyond the reach of the people by
the group that he used to ridicule Soon and Baliunas. Holdren was blinded by
his political views, which as his record shows are frightening. One web site
synthesizes his position on over-population as follows, "Forced abortions.
Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death
over American citizens."
"Holdren has a long history of seeking total government control. He was
involved in the Club of Rome providing Paul Ehrlich with the scientific data
in his bet with Julian Simon. Ehrlich lost the bet. Holdren's behavior in
this sorry episode with Soon and Baliunas is too true to form and shows the
leopard never changes his spots," Ball concludes.
Meanwhile, even with an AWOL mainstream media, the Climategate snakes
continue to slither out from under the rocks.

This is not about the ball case or any case you want to claim, this is about
the fact that hacked e-mail are now proving that global warming is a scam.
Ball was only commenting on this fact about those e-mails which you have no
clue about and want to be stupid on this issue by not addressing those
e-mails. There is no way you or anyone else can cover up those e-mails from
those scienists you claim are putting forth facts on global warming, when
indeed they are under invesagation now on wheither crimnal charges are going
to be laid on them for their crimes by commiting fraud. There is tons of
information on those e-mails, and it exposes their agenda of fraud....

And no matter how you want to spin doctor your global warming bullshit, the
facts are out that it is a scam and is now proven
The real smoking gun behind ClimateGate
the real smoking gun proving deception and fraud can be found in the code
of climate models which prove that temperature numbers were "artificially
adjusted" to hide the decline in global warming since the 1960's.
Attempts on behalf of the establishment media to characterize the scandal as
"rancor" amongst scientists completely obfuscates the real issue, which is
the fact that man-made climate change proponents gamed their data models to
make them produce the results they wanted.
Not only do we have emails where CRU Director Dr. Phil Jones talks about
pulling tricks in climate models to "hide the decline" of global
temperatures, but within the code of these models we also find blatant
evidence of manipulation.
"People are talking about the emails being smoking guns but I find the
remarks in the code and the code more of a smoking gun. The code is so
hacked around to give predetermined results that it shows the bias of the
coder. In other words make the code ignore inconvenient data to show what I
want it to show. The code after a quick scan is quite a mess. Anyone with
any pride would be to ashamed of to let it out public viewing,"
Plots 24 yearly maps of calibrated (PCR-infilled or not) MXD
reconstructions
; of growing season temperatures. Uses "corrected" MXD - but shouldn't
usually
; plot past 1960 because these will be artificially adjusted to look
closer to
; the real temperatures.
This shows that scientists "artificially adjusted" temperature data to hide
the decline in temperatures after 1960. The graphs cited by global warming
advocates to argue for continued man-made global warming in the modern era
are therefore largely fraudulent. This is not about "rancor," "debate" or
"insults," as the media spin machine would frame it, this is about hardcore
evidence of deliberate deception.
"You can claim an email you wrote years ago isn't accurate saying it was
"taken out of context", but a programmer making notes in the code does so
that he/she can document what the code is actually doing at that stage, so
that anyone who looks at it later can figure out why this function doesn't
plot past 1960. In this case, it is not allowing all of the temperature data
to be plotted. Growing season data (summer months when the new tree rings
are formed) past 1960 is thrown out because "these will be artificially
adjusted to look closer to the real temperatures", which implies some post
processing routine."
"Spin that, spin it to the moon if you want. I'll believe programmer notes
over the word of somebody who stands to gain from suggesting there's nothing
"untowards" about it."
"Either the data tells the story of nature or it does not. Data that has
been "artificially adjusted to look closer to the real temperatures" is
false data, yielding a false result."
