It's now official. Much of the hype about global warming is nothing but
a complete scam.
Thanks to hackers (or an insider) who broke into The University of East
Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and downloaded 156 megaybytes of
data including extremely damaging emails, we now know that data
supporting the global warming thesis was completely fabricated.
Inquiring minds are reading Hacked: Hadley CRU FOI2009 Files on The
Reference Frame by Lubo� Motl, a physicist from the Czech Republic.
The University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU),
usually working together with the Hadley center (recall HadCRUT3 global
temperatures), has been hacked.
So far, the most interesting file I found in the "documents"
directory is pdj_grant_since1990.xls (Google preview, click) which shows
that since 1990, Phil Jones has collected staggering 13.7 million
British pounds ($22.6 million) in grants.
Phil Jones, the main criminal according to this correspondence, has
personally confirmed that the website was hacked and that the documents
are authentic. See Briefing Room.
He says that he "can't remember" what he meant by "hiding the
decline." Well, let me teach him some English. First, dictionaries say
that hide means
1. to conceal from sight; prevent from being seen or discovered:
Where did she hide her jewels?
2. to obstruct the view of; cover up: The sun was hidden by the clouds.
3. to conceal from knowledge or exposure; keep secret: to hide
one's feelings.
4. to conceal oneself; lie concealed: He hid in the closet.
5. British. a place of concealment for hunting or observing
wildlife; hunting blind.
6. hide out, to go into or remain in hiding: After breaking out of
jail, he hid out in a deserted farmhouse.
Here Are A Few Choice Emails

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow. I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding
in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981
onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline. Mike's series
got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept
for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the
estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global
estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers
Phil

Keith,
Thanks for your consideration. Once I get a draft of the central and
southern siberian data and talk to Stepan and Eugene I'll send it to you.
I really wish I could be more positive about the Kyrgyzstan material,
but I swear I pulled every trick out of my sleeve trying to milk
something out of that. It was pretty funny though - I told Malcolm what
you said about my possibly being too Graybill-like in evaluating the
response functions - he laughed and said that's what he thought at first
also. The data's tempting but there's too much variation even within
stands. I don't think it'd be productive to try and juggle the
chronology statistics any more than I already have - they just are what
they are (that does sound Graybillian). I think I'll have to look for an
option where I can let this little story go as it is.
Not having seen the sites I can only speculate, but I'd be optimistic if
someone could get back there and spend more time collecting samples,
particularly at the upper elevations.
Yeah, I doubt I'll be over your way anytime soon. Too bad, I'd like to
get together with you and Ed for a beer or two. Probably someday though.
Cheers, Gary
