“Hide the Decline”: E-Mails Reveal How ‘Scientists’ Discussed “Climate Change” Hoax (UPDATED)

UPDATE:

Phil Jones steps down:
Professor Phil Jones, the director of a research unit at the centre of a row over climate change data, has said he will stand down from the post while an independent review takes place.

He’s still denying everything. Whadja expect?

It just keeps getting better.

The controversy surrounding the global warming e-mail scandal has deepened after a BBC correspondent admitted he was sent the leaked messages more than a month before they were made public.

Paul Hudson, weather presenter and climate change expert, claims the documents allegedly sent between some of the world’s leading scientists are of a direct result of an article he wrote.

In his BBC blog three days ago, Hudson said: ‘I was forwarded the chain of emails on the 12th October, which are comments from some of the world’s leading climate scientists written as a direct result of my article “Whatever Happened To Global Warming”.’

That essay, written last month, argued that for the last 11 years there had not been an increase in global temperatures.

It also presented the arguments of sceptics who believe natural cycles control temperature and the counter-arguments of those who think it’s man’s actions which are warming the planet.

Funny parody set to the tune of “Draggin’ the Line”:

UPDATE:

We were waiting to see which, if any, broadcast MSM networks would cover this. As it turns out, none.
They covered everthing on the evening news from Oprah Winfrey’s announced retirement from her talk show, to the supercollider, to Susan Boyle’s CD, but nothing on ClimateGate.

CBS.com paid scant attention with two articles: “Congress May Probe Leaked Global Warming E-Mails”
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/24/taking_liberties/entry5761180.shtml
and “Hackers Leak E-Mails, Stoke Climate Debate”
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/21/ap/world/main5727910.shtml

ABC, like the other networks, pretty much ignored the growing scandal except to push more of the “human-induced global warming” scam. Instead, ABCNews.com ran a story titled: “Worse Than the Worst: Climate Report Says Even Most Dire Predictions Too Tame”.

On the other hand, nothing about the hysterical “global warming” hard sell is bad enough.

And just in time for the upcoming “climate conference” circus in Copenhagen.

Computer hackers have broken into a server at a well-respected climate change research center in Britain and posted hundreds of private e-mails and documents online — stoking debate over whether some scientists have overstated the case for man-made climate change.

The University of East Anglia, in eastern England, said in a statement Saturday that the hackers had entered the server and stolen data at its Climatic Research Unit, a leading global research center on climate change. The university said police are investigating the theft of the information, but could not confirm if all the materials posted online are genuine.

More than a decade of correspondence between leading British and U.S. scientists is included in about 1,000 e-mails and 3,000 documents posted on Web sites following the security breach last week.

Some of the e-mails show how they manipulated data and information to fit the “human-caused climate change” narrative, how they planned to keep the IPCC (the UN department in charge of monitoring climate change) from considering scientific viewpoints that challenged their legitimacy, and how they intended to squelch criticism:

From: Phil Jones. To: Many. Nov 16, 1999
“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

……From Phil Jones To: Michael Mann (Pennsylvania State University). July 8, 2004
“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

……From: Kevin Trenberth (US National Center for Atmospheric Research). To: Michael Mann. Oct 12, 2009
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t… Our observing system is inadequate”

Prof Trenberth appears to accept a key argument of global warming sceptics – that there is no evidence temperatures have increased over the past 10 years.

From: Phil Jones. To: Many. March 11, 2003
“I will be emailing the journal to tell them I’m having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor.”

Prof Jones appears to be lobbying for the dismissal of the editor of Climate Research, a scientific journal that published papers downplaying climate change.

From Phil Jones. To: Michael Mann. Date: May 29, 2008
“Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise.”

From: Michael Mann. To: Phil Jones and Gabi Hegerl (University of Edinburgh). Date: Aug 10, 2004
“Phil and I are likely to have to respond to more crap criticisms from the idiots in the near future.”

Here’s a particularly good email on just how badly the natural cycle of nature scares these hyperbolic hucksters:

These brilliant “scientists” are so sure of their ‘data’ that they have to keep it a secret. Why open up their methods to public scrutiny when they’re likely to get shredded?

Most sane people realized a long time ago, that this whole “human-caused climate change” shit is a farce.
We now have a behind-the-scenes look at just how right we are.
