Truth has nothing to do with political leanings - there are liars and

the earth is currently in a cooling cycle. That is a part of what
these emails are seeking to conceal.
The method goes thus. First deny totally. Then when the facts emerge,
claim that the readings are anomalies, and normal warming will be
resumed. Anything, in fact, apart from admitting the data.
This all a travesty of science. Real scientists put their data and
theories out there, and seek refutation by other scientists. They even
include methods of refutation alongside their theories to make life
easier. This called a falsifiable theory, and it is the only kind that
carries any scientific weight or credibility. What we have in AGW is a
situation where there is a quasi-religious position that may not be
denied on pain of loss of tenure, job, livelihood. This is NOT

No, you don't see analysis by independent statisticians. They are not
part of the Club of the Orthodoxy. And think about that word -
"analyse". You take some raw data that shows a fall, then subject it
to "analysis" by people who toe the Line of the Orthodoxy, and as if

Well, around here temperature has probably been rising. About 30 years ago I
bought a pair of cross-country skis and used them for about 10 years in
nearby places. There hasn't been enough snow around here for at least 15
years to make them worthwhile, even to enthusiasts. But that's all short
term noise in the cosmic scheme of things.
When you start talking about making changes involving thousands of billions
of dollars, you need more evidence than just some short-term variations.

Given that something simple, well-known, gross, and relevant like sunspots
has an 22 year cycle - what sort of conclusion can reasonably be formed with
14 years worth of data? Normally that would be a rhetorical question, but
given the circumstance I feel obliged to answer it with a resounding

Dunno if I can be bothered to find it again; Google for it. But while
you are looking, here is some stuff from what climatologists consider
key indicators. First the temperature history of central Greenland:
http://westinstenv.org/wp-content/postimage/Easterbrook_graph.jpg
This is part of the Easterbrook projection which seems to backed by
rather better science than most, untainted as it is by political
manoeuvering. You can see an abstract of a paper here:
It only attempts to predict the next thirty years or so, and frankly
anyone trying to go beyond that is talking through his hat.
Also of interest is a graph showing, in some detail, CO2 level and
global temperature since 2002.

that'll do for now. You really do need to research more widely. If the
only authorities you consult are those on the Bandwagon of Orthodoxy,
you will learn nothing about the Earth's climate, but plenty about the
political climate. Get yourself out of the morass of green-upmanship

Do you mean 1400 years, or 14,000?
I haven't read all of the emails. Have you read something that
indicates that a person with hiring/firing power threatened the tenure
of subordinate because that subordinate questioned theories of global
warming? I mean, sure, some bitter egghead scientists would
undoubtedly bitch about the people with whom they disagree - much like
people do here - but that's a far cry from "pure totalitarian
politics". Some few might even get into personal pissing matches and
try to prevent a rival from being published, but they, like the fringe
jobs arguing on the other side, lose their impact amid the larger

up. There is TONS of evidence supporting it. Even Thoreau's early
botanical work has given input.
Why is it that your "scientific" evidence is better than the climate
scientists who have been researching this issue for sometime? Where
is the critical review of these so-called studies.

>> that'll do for now. You really do need to research more widely. If the
The earth is doing what it is doing. Change is the normal condition
for Earth's climate. Temperature goes up and temperature goes down.
There is nothing political about it - it happens. At the moment the
temperature is going down, and your capitalization of the word FACT
doesn't make it any more true.
The argument is over anthropogenic global warming, and there is no -
and I do mean zero - evidence supporting it. The models have been
discredited, and now we learn that the scientists supporting it are
baffled and telling each other to fudge data to hide the fact that
their models can't even manage a couple of years of prediction.

No - it's NOT. You have not cited any evidence to show that it is
currently going down. You've shown some predictions that it might but
it is in FACT going up. And yes capitalization does imply that it is
true, because it is.
You've cited one scientifist (Easterbrook) who have been a critic.
Where is the critical review of his work?
I'll cited again the FACTS:
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007
Main article: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
In February 2007, the IPCC released a summary of the forthcoming
Fourth Assessment Report. According to this summary, the Fourth
Assessment Report finds that human actions are "very likely" the cause
of global warming, meaning a 90% or greater probability. Global
warming in this case is indicated by an increase of 0.75 degrees in
average global temperatures over the last 100 years.[3]
The New York Times reported:
The world's leading climate scientists said global warming has begun,
is very likely caused by man, and will be unstoppable for
centuries.... The phrase very likely translates to a more than 90
percent certainty that global warming is caused by man's burning of
fossil fuels. That was the strongest conclusion to date, making it
nearly impossible to say natural forces are to blame.[4]
The report said that an increase in hurricane and tropical cyclone
strength since 1970 more likely than not can be attributed to man-made
global warming. The scientists said global warming's connection varies
with storms in different parts of the world, but that the storms that
strike the Americas are global warming-influenced.[5]
The Associated Press summarized the position on sea level rise:
On sea levels, the report projects rises of 7-23 inches by the end of
the century. That could be augmented by an additional 4-8 inches if
recent polar ice sheet melt continues.[6]
[edit] U.S. Global Change Research Program
formerly the Climate Change Science Program
The U.S. Global Change Research Program reported in June, 2009[7]
that:
Observations show that warming of the climate is unequivocal. The
global warming observed over the past 50 years is due primarily to
human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases. These emissions come
mainly from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), with
important contributions from the clearing of forests, agricultural
practices, and other activities.

You claim that they are wrong, and you'd like them

Information about temperatures over the past 1400 or 14,000 years is

Mr. Non-Orthodoxy,
Here are some FACTS for you:
- Over the past 30 years, the Earth has warmed by 0.6° C or 1.08° F.
Over the past 100 years, it has warmed by 0.8° C or 1.44° F.
- "The five warmest years over the last century occurred in the last
eight years," said James Hansen, director of NASA GISS. They stack up
as follows: the warmest was 2005, then 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

I think you're getting alchemists, theologians and barber-surgeons

methods that disproved
the conventional wisdom of which you speak, not ranting luddites and
teabaggers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't many hundreds of these documents,

"On Special Report, Jim Angle reported that NASA was forced "to admit
it was wrong when it said that 1998 was the hottest year on record"
and that NASA "now says 1934 was the hottest year, followed by 1998,
then 1921." But Angle did not inform viewers that NASA's revision
affected annual temperature rankings for the United States only; it
had no effect on the annual global temperature rankings. "
NASA recently corrected its climate figures after the discovery of
inconsistencies in its U.S. temperature data. According to Schmidt, a
climate modeler at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a
contributor to the RealClimate blog (posting as "gavin"), the
correction resulted in a re-ranking of NASA's list of the warmest
years in the United States. For example, whereas 1998 was previously
ranked as the warmest year for the United States, it is now ranked
second, behind 1934. According to Schmidt, the temperature difference
between 1934 and 1998 in the United States -- both before and after
the correction -- is not statistically significant.

LOL.
Makes one wonder, if "the science is settled" and "there is a
consensus of scientists" why these guys -- after all, they're the
world's leading global waming "scientists" -- should be so defensive.
What is it they fear? Looks like their fear is inspired by their self
knowledge that they lied, and lied, and lied, that their "science" was
crooked from the beginning.
Ron Bales thinks that some of them may be true believers in the
hypothesis that manmade CO2 causes global warming, and lying for their
faith; certainly some despair has been expressed in the Hadley Hack
about their inability to prove the hypothesis, in the stubborn
resistance of real life to follow their cooked data-based predictions.
If Ron is right, these people must be incredibly stupid as well as
incredibly crooked. One can forgive (and be amused by) undergraduate
idiots like Ben Weiner and Bill Asher for falling for this crap, but
the senior scientists who in the first instance cooked the data *know*
what they've done -- which accounts for their fear of Freedom of
Information disclosure -- and are scientists beside: for them this
sort of self-delusion is also a self-disqualification from their
chosen profession.

Thanks for the clarification Brother Soul. Of course it isn't
statistically significant because there was no global warming in the
1990s, merely statistical legerdemain. The earth's temperature is on
the upslope, with natural variation caused by sunspot cycles, from the
Little Ice Age towards the mild temperatures, but still warmer than
today, which lasted for centuries during the Medieval Warm Period. The
Hockey Stick that attempts to prove that the 1990s was the warmest
decade is an attempt by the most unscientifica statistical trickery,
condemned by two panels of the National Academy of Science, to falsify
temperature history to flatten the LIA and MWP out of existence. The
world is in no danger from global warming, and no link between
temperature increase and manmade (or any other CO2) has ever been
proven. The only manmade global warming is made by crooked "climate
scientists". I hope this helps your understanding.
