this story has legs

2
global warming = poppydash

3
baldercock!

4 You're not out of the Woods yet. Another decade or two of cooling ought to wise you up.

5 What's the Twitter hash that folks should be using to tweet this up?

If this controversy is quarantined to message boards only, it will never have the legs it needs to overcome the momentum.

6 The Plate Tectonics Crisis is next. "The Atlantic Ocean is widening!"

7 I don't know anyone who wants to pollute the air, water, or planet. Lots of people, including myself, believe man-caused global warming, climate change or human-caused doom is complete bullshit. Ever seen an actual volcano? I have. They pump out more noxious gas in a minute than most cities do in a year. Algore and his Enron ilk should be tarred and feathered.

8 Look for more of these types of 'stories' in the coming weeks:
AP carries water for GW:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/sci_climate_09_post_kyoto

9 There's a lot more to this story than just professional shenanigans. There's evidence of misappropriation of funding and tax evasion. One email discussed  hiding funds from NOAA that were not used for a conference trip. That's a fucking crime! These assholes are criminals!

On top of this AGW debacle, Steyn points out in his Macleans article that the IPCC bureaucrats are calling 2009 the first year of global governance. We may be turning the corner here in terms of public opinion but the international bureaucrats are moving full steam ahead.

10 There's no THERE there, you Creationist Denialists! The SCIENCE is settled!

Don't go reading hacked and altered emails misinterpreted by the racists at Powerline, I've got pictures of the OCEAN, and Tiny Tim too!

Dammit Shamuta, the GREEN pills are my Prozac, the blue ones are the Viagra!

11

The entire Washington Post opinion section today was about "Climate Change" and desperation (except for George Will who says the U.S. has plenty of its own oil). It even scolds Obama for not working "quickly" enough. They may sense that their time is running out.

What they reveal, more than anything, is a bunker mentality. These pro-global warming scientists  Marxists see themselves as under siege, and they view AGW skeptics as bitter enemies. They are often mean-spirited; the web site American Thinker is referred to as "American Stinker;" at one point an emailer exults in the death of a global warming skeptic; another one suggests that the Ph.D. of a prominent skeptic should be revoked because of an error he made decades ago in his dissertation; another says that he is tempted to "beat the crap out of" the same scientist  capitalist . The emails show beyond any reasonable doubt that these individuals are engaged in politics, not science.

They are just old fashioned Marxists. Using a different tool.

12 "One email discussed hiding funds from NOAA that were not used for a conference trip," Oh, my. That's a no-no. They got some 'splainin' to do.

13 Probably best to leave this one to the cables.

14 It gets better in the code comments. A lot of the data is computer code. I'm sure it will take a while to digest (run and critique) but thats the gold. Pay attention the the climateaudit mirror site or Watts up with that.

15

If they weren't convinced that global warming had to be combatted by raising energy costs I would like to see some. I hate writing $350 checks to the gas company all winter.

16 This is why we scientists make all our laboratory notebook entries in pencil.

17 Powerline has been doing a great job on this. It's time for whatever Inspector General has jurisdiction over the spending of this money to investigate. The Justice Department is a partisan joke and so is the media.

heh, its all out civil war over there now. The night of the long knives. Its CJ's new found far leftist buddies versus the old guard of RINO lapdog lackeys and CJ is nowhere to be found. He's not even standing up for his loyalists like Mandy and Sharmuta. I think he's welcoming the coming purge so he can go all-in Kos and D.U.

Even the post where he attempted to bash ace a couple of days ago barely went 25 comments before the throat cutting and backstabbing commenced and they forgot about ace altogether.

19
I don't think that's the real Charles Johnson.

20 This is really big, as in finding that Aliens control the World big. It will take a long time to purge our planet of these scum. Reducing the UN building to a puddle of molten slag is a good start.

21 This is really a problem for the world-wide communist lobby. They've done really well convincing the world that only a one-world marxist government can keep  Gaia from annilation. That's what you get when hackers ignore the prime directive.

22 Look, I'm a realist.

Will the MSM pick up on this huge scandal and run with it? Uh, no.

Therefore, the average drone won't even hear about it. What they'll hear instead is more doomsday GW propaganda, from the MSM and the schools.

We are winning the debate on the facts and the merits. But they are winning the larger, more important, debate through endless propaganda and indoctrination.

Facts are meaningless in 2009. Face it: We're fucked.

34 I'm positive a.k.a. hasn't made a coherent argument since the onset of Alzheimer's.

35 I think he's welcoming the coming purge so he can go all-in Kos and D.U.

I don't think Chuckles wants to go all-in Kos and D.U. Once Chucks admits he is further to the left than Kos, he dooms himself to immediate blog obscurity.  His only relevance now is as a tool for the left to demonstrate how 'sane' conservatives are vicimized by the 'right-wing fringe'.

Chuckles is as much a tool of the left as that equally pathetic Levi Johnston, but without the looks and brains.

36

37 Of course, John Assrocket offers no proof of fraud. What he does offer is proof that scientists privately corresponding as friends and colleagues, organized to disarm constant attacks aimed at them by knucklehead deniers.

43 So that pap smear he gave me with a rusty spoon wasn't real? Does that mean I have to get another one?

I thought that was your suitcase I examined.

44 29 -

I'm pessimistic because I TALK to people out in the real world who aren't right-wingers like you and me. IOW, a majority of the public.

And you can show these people all the facts and figures and graphs in the world, but it doesn't fucking matter. They would rather believe the LIE they've been told 500 times than believe the TRUTH that only you are telling them.

That's because of basic human psychology. It's easier for the human psyche to dismiss the "subjective" opinion of one person - even if he is a person you know and trust - than it is for the human psyche to reject the "objective" "facts" of 100 "credible" MSM outlets.

You must understand: The election of 0bama isn't some "canary in a coal mine" that warns us about a vanguard of leftists who are about to try to take over the country.

No, the election of 0bama was the next-to-last stage in the complete annihilation of our country and our Constitution and our freedoms and liberties.

IOW, they haven't picked a fight just now. The fight is basically all over, but for the crying (and the re-education camps).

When Glenn Beck says we have literally months to save our country, that may sound like hyperbole to you. It sounds like reality to me.

45

So that pap smear he gave me with a rusty spoon wasn't real? Does that mean I have to get another one?

No, you can't get one for anither two years.  I hope you saved the spoon, it's a medical device.

Father Coughlin was an anti-Semitic progressive in the teens and twenties.  His nationwide sermon/diatribes were very popular.  He was into eugenics, fascism, wife-beating and paying farm subsidies.

Actually, maybe I put those in reverse order.

But you get the idea.  Anyone aping Father Coughlin is a nutless douche who has more in common with the turds in the White House now than any Catholic priest.

51 You right-wing nuts haven't got a clue about the burden we must shoulder.  It's hard having lie and live with ourselves.  Really hard.  Just ask the Senator from Louisiana what it's like whoring one's self.

55 Father Coughlin was an anti-Semitic progressive in the teens and twenties.  His nationwide sermon/diatribes were very popular.  He was into eugenics, fascism, wife-beating and paying farm subsidies.




So in other words Father Coughlin was a good role model for most liberals today.

56 Yeah, wing-nuts, the e-mails asking other scientists to ignore inquires and about "hiding the decline" mean nothing.  Scientists do this all the time.  I should know, because I have an advanced degree from an esteemed online university.

57 37 Of course, John Assrocket offers no proof of fraud. What he does offer is proof that scientists politically-motivated degree-bearing hacks privately corresponding as friends and colleagues, organized to disarm constant attacks ignore basic tenets of science and commit scientific fraud aimed exposed at them by knucklehead deniers non-cultist, rational people who understand that when the data don't support the theory it is the theory that gets "massaged."

You're welcome.  Now you can leave.  I'm sure there's a Nazi rally somewhere waiting for you to deliver the keynote address.

Stagnating Temperatures

Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out

By Gerald Traufetter

Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

At least the weather in Copenhagen is likely to be cooperating. The Danish Meteorological Institute predicts that temperatures in December, when the city will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference, will be one degree above the long-term average.

Otherwise, however, not much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.

Ironically, climate change appears to have stalled in the run-up to the upcoming world summit in the Danish capital, where thousands of politicians, bureaucrats, scientists, business leaders and environmental activists plan to negotiate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations.

Looks like you zealots are gonna start needing to pass the collection plate, soon.

100 At the end of the Nineteenth Century a very famous scientist declared that physics was done with new discoveries, and the task of future scientists was to merely add more decimal places. Not long afterward, Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics poked their heads out of their holes and bit his ass.

I talked to a friend of mine in Philly. I know that he does not have access to the internet due to hie situating. I asked him if he heard anything of the potential global warming scientists  scandal. The answer, not a word.  Later in the day I asked my brother who has Internet access but does not follow any news blogs. Same answer. We are not only f ucked we are double f ucked. I'm afraid the politicians and the MSN will bury this.

 

103

Apologists for this AGW cabal talk about the giant and relentless threat of AGW skeptics, how the skeptics have the upper hand; that this is why this group were forced to communicate amongst themselves in this way.

In fact, expressing AGW skepticism is generally not allowed in the MSM, and powerful politicians insist that the science is settled, and there is an attempt to sideline any skeptics as nutcases. Skeptical scientists usually keep their mouths shut to avoid trouble - they've learned to do this. Look at the word they use: "deniers."  Not "skeptics," "deniers;" evil ones who threaten the future of the human race.  

Raging, rampant skeptics at the gates. What a god damned inversion of reality. What drives the fear of the AGW industry is not that somebody is going to tell lies about them, it's that the hidden weakness of their work might become an issue. They've been living in a house of cards and they know it.

The bottom line is that whether there is a real AGW effect, or isn't, you'll never get a reliable answer from these assholes.

"The politics are settled."

109 Father Coughlin is one of those kinky pron names, right?

110 Oh, and just to restate, as I plan to do every time erg shows his ugly mug from now on, let's not forget his stunning admission that AGW is really just about punishing the West for an advanced lifestyle:

He's right, in a way. The scientists involved in this hoax have spent millions and millions of $$ in grants compiling bogus evidence to support their claim. It's multi-layered for the express purpose to obfuscate and hide the fabrications.

In other words they've gone to great lengths to construct the biggest fraud perpetrated in the history of the human civilization.

119 Some professor actually commented on my blog. The spin he spewed is that even without the CRU data, AGW is proved by this and this and this etc.

He ignores numerous errors and deceptions throughout AGW theory like Hockey Stick graphs, like NASA data being glaringly wrong for ten years (just happening to cover up the cooler Earth, and uncovered thanks to an apostate 'skeptic'), and, oh, the cooler Earth itself.   But, again, it's all about denying contravening data, isn't it?

121 Yes, the MSM are hiding it now but that is why Obama went so far trying to get Rush and Fox declared not news sources (Rush doesn't say he is). They weren't going after Fox as much as they were telling the LSM not to pick up FOX stories and put them on LSM stations. The way its been working is that the internet picks up a story, it goes viral, or Beck, Rush, Hannity pick up a story and it goes onto the rest of the right radio and the blogosphere. Then Fox picks it up on all its shows. Then the NY Post, Washington Times, WSJ editorial page etc. pick it up. The LSM then decide they can't ignore it and it goes mainstream. Anita Dunn was warning the LSM not to touch anything that came from this scenario. However, if the item, like phoney GW stays in the forefront of the blogosphere, talk radio and FOX they are going to look like morons (the bad kind) if they don't mention it. The only option they have is to talk about it but discredit the sources. Look for that in a day or two.

122

124 The Fox News website had it the day it came out. Me no have TV.

125 And remember, it was but a stupid "O-ring" that caused the US Space Shuttle Challenger to blow up.

126 It is simple, really. If AGW was real, the effects would be split evenly among harmful and beneficial. The True Believers only say it is harmful. Therefore, it is not real. You don't need a bunch of snotty, publicly funded 'scientists' to figure that out. As for 'climate change' I suppose Congress taxed the two miles of ice over Michigan until it went away 20000 years ago. and speakin of Michigan, I guess that Hopenchange ain't workin out so well right now, been seein a lot of Michigan license plates around here lately. This is a long way to drive for entry level work.....

127 OJ: "I did it."

AGW Alarmist interpretation: You Deniers are just blowing what he said out of proportion. It was just one line. A single statement.

I just noticed that Michelle Malkin is calling for the heads of the hackers and demanding that they be prosecuted to "the fullest extent of the law".

Gotta follow the letter of the law, and be consistent, no matter the price, yet she has no problem linking to the material.

What a disappointment she is.

129 Sock off

130 I have reviewed the Powerline emails as well as others. John Hinderacker is wrong. He has under-described the clear falsification of data. Thje idea that you can eliminate the 1940s decadal by simply subtracting temperatures from highes and then pretend they are real should bother everyone. NASA has now been caught falsifying data 16 times in order to create a colder past. That would be James Hansen aka The Weather Clown. It now appears Britain is in the same league.

131

I read a science/tech website Arstechnica.com, they normally keep up pretty well.  This hack and posting of emails hasn't gotten a peep, which compares to huge writeups when a company gets a mean press release issued against it.  The only talk on that website is a user started thread in the forums that spent the entire first page being shouted down as a nonissue before a mod moved it from news to science talk and burried.

Reading these emails has done a lot to educate me to how science is done today, I was still under the highschool science class impression of how things are repeatable, had no idea they were so one off and "take our word for it".

>>78 Islamic extremism? Never heard of it...Posted by: Charles Gibson..
>>90...HAS JUMPED THE SHARK, HORRIFICALLY..Posted by: Diversity Kills

I walked down the street recently in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz..
Europe killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.  In  Auschwitz they burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. They destroyed the chosen people, truly  chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world and whose religion is the root of Christianity.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and  above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people who were burned.
And  under the pretense of tolerance, and because they wanted to prove to themselves that they were cured of the disease of racism, they opened the gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought them stupidity and  ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They  have blown up trains and turned beautiful cities into the third
world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And  thus, in their misery, they have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
They  have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and  theirs.

What  a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Keep fighting these Globalists, AlWhore, etc. Our freedom is threatened like never before.

135 Michelle Malkin is calling for the heads of the hackers and demanding that they be prosecuted to "the fullest extent of the law".

Good luck with that.  They'll be protected under the UK whistle blower statutes, and probably US whistle blower statutes as well since there seems to be evidence of trying to rip off unspent NOAA travel allowances.

136 134 I agree with much that you say.Those same Jews aquiesce in their own demise now don't they?What is it that compels them to destroy themselves,to destroy Israel?

137 If AGW was real, the effects would be split evenly among harmful and beneficial. The True Believers only say it is harmful.

This.  Since 1991, I've been telling people that no worldwide weather phenomenon can't avoid bringing somebody good.  The fact that they never point out any benefits shows its just propaganda.

Our actual history show that warmth is health and prosperity.

138 128 Wow that is disappointing.Exposing this sophistry is a public service to the world.

139 I was still under the highschool science class impression of how things are repeatable, had no idea they were so one off and "take our word for it". Posted by: Allen You always have to been open an honest about your data, but you do get a sort of pass if your data comes from observations of uncontrolled sources, like Earth for example. You can't repeat your observation, there are no controls like you might have in a lab. But, this means you have to be much more careful about collecting, preserving, and interpreting the data. None of what I have gleaned from these emails tells me these jokers gave a tinker's damn about any of the above. They are not scientists. They are fakes, frauds, and whores. Disgusting.

Sure, it's unlikely to happen, but why make a show of even calling for it in the first place? I guess it's a good thing she wasn't aware of Alexander Solzhenitsyn writing an illegal book in the former Soviet Union or she would have to call for his incarceration for breaking Soviet law.

146 WHO IS PHIL JONES?

147 Liberalism is a mental disease.

I've always thought is was the result of too much prosperity over too long a period.

Obamanomics will soon test my theory.

148 Everything is bullshit and junk science today.     Junk politicians hyped for skin color and nice speeches, but no substance or experience ever being responsible for anything or anyone but himself.   Junk "news" with idiot whiners pushing a Marxist Big Brother agenda to the stupid little people that watch and get all their thoughts and ideas from them.   The economy crash was due to junk Congressmen pushing junk loans for homes to welfare junkies.   The stimulus was rammed through on junk spending and junk jobs in junk congressional districts.   The swine flu was hyped, most recently, on junk numbers after the CDC told doctors and hospitals to just treat ANY influenza as swine flu and then record it as such.  They even stopped counting and testing for actual cases of H1N1 and now are projecting a "guessed" number from the tainted data of untested cases and cases that were not swine flu but other strains.  WHY?     And the biggest bullshit junk of all has been the climate pimps, all the way back to the early 1970s with 'the next ice ace is coming because of your spray deodorant'. And now this bullshit which just might push through the nail in this nation's freedoms and economy with the vote of junk politicians, the stroke of a junk pen loaned to us by China (probably lead-based), and signed by a junk POTUS that the media and the brainless junk citizens of this country puked upon us.

149 CJ is not sane. Charts and graphs will not affect his madness. It's too bad he has no interest in very close close-ups of polar bears.

150 Evidence means nothing to such zealots. Posted by: nickless

Yes, but their desperation is palpable and their tears are sweet.

151 Since Malkin is on TV a lot she may simply be inoculating herself against questions like: why didn't you criticize this "crime".  I'm not saying that IS what she's doing, but it is one possibility I can recognize.

When you're flying at the altitude she does, one must be a tad more circumspect about your approach, since there's booby traps and IED's everywhere once you step in front of a camera for an interview or go on some policy commentary show. 

Of course she could really believe someone should be prosecuted for it too.

152 >Michelle Malkin is calling for the heads of the hackers and demanding that they be prosecuted to "the fullest extent of the law".

>Good luck with that.  They'll be protected under the UK whistle blower statutes, and probably US whistle blower statutes as well since there seems to be evidence of trying to rip off unspent NOAA travel allowances.

I think she has to take that position to be consistent with the outrage over Palin's emails.  We can't be taking the position that criminal action is okay because it exposes worse criminal action, though we still don't know who the 'hackers' were.  I've seen suggestions that it was insiders or possibly the Russians (who don't want to see their ability to sell oil diminished).

I got the sense that her statement was a formality and she'd not be terribly dsappointed if there weren't prosecutions for whatever reason.

153 I agree with much that you say.Those same Jews aquiesce in their own demise now don't they?What is it that compels them to destroy themselves,to destroy Israel?

The Jews introduced the world to Communism, European Socialism and Modern Liberalism all in one century. And in a twist of cruel irony its been destroying them right along with us ever since.

I dunno, maybe since Global Warming is now a religion in the UK, the hackers might be charged with a Hate Crime.

I just came back from rightwingnuthouse.com. That site has gone over to the dark side. I didn't know.

I used to enjoy the summary over there. But Rick Moran has jumped. Reminds me of lgf. sucks now. No Wonder Americanthinker has not published an article from him in a while.

***********************************

A few months back on AT, Moran was jeering at Beck and saying anyone who listensto him has the IQ of a cherrystone clam.  

Then he mentioned his a blog radio slot --- which apparently reaches an audience in the high two figures.  So it's easy to figure out what's going on.

Beck's huge, and he's a bitter nobody.   The same dynamic is at work with Frum and Brooks.

I see his coding is as good as his photography.

Loading... ERROR!

157
Is Rick Moran the nerd who was feuding with Dennis the Peasant?

158 MM is doing the smart PR and legal dance.

159 Rick Moran and others like him are in such a snit. Imagine what it will be like a few years from now when a Harvard grad has to take orders from the Snow Billy. They know it's coming. Members of the Senate of Rome do not take orders from a Pleb!

160

First:

All-out civil war at LGF? Mandy and Sharmuta left to fend for themselves?

Interestingly, Sharmuta signed up at LGF 2 days after I did., and, while being much better known, seems to be lasting only a few extra (and painful) months.

Sharm, If you¡¯re reading this, being banned for posting contrary opinions that could only be down-dinged, not rebutted, is far less painful than what you¡¯re going through. The picture of the polar bear stuck on the ice (-berg? -pedestal? -pole?) comes to mind. 10 minutes and a beer later, and I was ok.

¡¡

Second:

Michelle Malkin is calling for the heads of the hackers and demanding that they be prosecuted to "the fullest extent of the law".

I checked, and it¡¯s one sentence.

"First things first: The alleged hackers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

I suspect she needs to say this, simply for protection. Her next sentence is:

"That said: The crimes revealed in the e-mails promise to be the global warming scandal of the century ¡ª and have massive bearing on the climate change legislation being considered by our lawmakers here at home."

I think that, in this case, what the hackers did, while wrong, exposed a titanic fraud that puts the lives of hundreds of millions of people and indeed much of Western Civilization at risk, as do all confidence swindles, and should be protected by one or more whistle-blower laws.

We all knew that AGW was a pile of dog logs, now we have prof that the dog knew too.

161
Just read where Gorbachev is considering a political comeback in Russia.

If he's not careful, Putin will see to it that he takes a short ride in a long car.

162 Rick Moran's BTR show (podcastable) is one of the best things I have ever heard on the Internets, but his political philosophy is mysterious: doesn't like Palin (inexcusable); doesn't like Beck; is convinced the Bush Administration tortured (really tortured) many. But I still love his BTR show: great guests, great discussions.

163 I think she has to take that position to be consistent with the outrage over Palin's emails.  We can't be taking the position that criminal action is okay because it exposes worse criminal action, though we still don't know who the 'hackers' were.  I've seen suggestions that it was insiders or possibly the Russians (who don't want to see their ability to sell oil diminished).

No disagreement from me here in your assessment. I think the same thing, but if she is not articulate enough to distinguish the difference between the two events, then why do any of us pay any attention to her? Maybe she needs to call for the retroactive prosecution of Oskar Schindler for violating Nazi labor laws, lying to officials, and bribery, you know, just to maintain consistency. Screw the greater good!

164 All the people exchanging the emails that were leaked will be going to the AGU meeting in a few weeks in San Francisco (Dec 14-1 .

165 I just came back from rightwingnuthouse.com. That site has gone over to the dark side. I didn't know.

Just took a look since I haven't read anything from Moran in a couple of years.  Yep, you're right.  The green envy monster looms large.

166 Allen: "Reading these emails has done a lot to educate me to how science is done today, I was still under the highschool science class impression of how things are repeatable, had no idea they were so one off and 'take our word for it'."

It's a business. There's an incentive to acquire grant money, power, and prestige like in any industry. Once you do, it's human nature to pursue more. AGW was an evolving cash cow of, apparently, historic proportion. You better believe the turf war was going to be intense. Now we see evidence of the corruption.

These "scientists" should be jailed... after critical peers get the opportunity to pummel them with erasers.

167 My guess is that the "hackers" were actually insiders, in which case, they are whistleblowers exposing fraud.

170 Well, this thread is the only live one, so some OT heresy... hat tip to Powerline.  Looks like KSM et al. will not go gently into that good night after all.  Another big win for Earflaps McBaritone and his dancing Attorney General!

NEW YORK (AP) - A lawyer for one of five men facing trial for the Sept. 11 attacks says the men plan to plead not guilty and use the trial to express their political views.

Attorney Scott Fenstermaker says his client Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and the others will not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but will tell the jury "why they did it."

He says the men will explain "their assessment of American foreign policy."

Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. He says the men, including professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, have discussed the trial among themselves.

171 'In this post John tracks how the researchers responded to critique by circling the wagons and then slandering the critic'

Which is exactly what the Left and environmentalist wacko sites like RealClimate are doing today. Add to that, they are slandering the methods used, which were illegal, in order to cast doubt on this treasure-trove of lies.

172 BTW, Rick Moran can go eff himself.  He's just jealous of his successful leftist media brother.

Your organization is not only a disgrace, but a colony of frauds, and hacks raping the name of real science. 

There is a special place in Hell for your ilk.

177 175 170 How many of the lawyers will be Jews? Insanity.

Surely.  But I suspect nominal Jews, not Jews who actually believe in the Almighty. 

178 The ice is gonna break!

179 Another thing the Left is using to fight the undeniable charges these emails bring is to start screaming that since the criticizers aren't scientists, that they don't understand what it is they're criticizing.
Two responses to that tomfoolery:

1) A lie is a lie is a lie. It's pretty clear when these guys are discussing how to manipulate numbers, delete emails, hide funds, etc.

2) If they ever tell you you're not a scientist and thus shouldn't be throwing barbs, ask them if THEY are scientists. I bet they're not either, in which case repeat point 1 above, tell them there's oh, twenty five examples of point 1 at the minimum, and they can just go STFU.

180 Powerline done whooped some ass with those logical and near flawless postings. Some lawyers really are good guys.

181 174, excellent! I plan on writing the Universities and government agencies a very concise and polite letter re: this nonsense. I want to know exactly what, if any penalties will be for this bunch.

182 This thread is harshin' my buzz.

188

I think the 'hackers' have more data and emails.

Thier initial post on 'the Air Vent' Blog post titled Open-Letter, comment #10 says that in pretty plain english

FOIA said
November 17, 2009 at 9:57 pm
We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps.

We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents.
Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it.
(with a file location and sample of titles)

"Random Selection" ..... I smell a Brietbart style event coming. Because he figured out the best way to break a scandal when the Media is in bed with the miscreants.

189 In the end, if successful, the AGW propagandists will make Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Adolf, Stalin, and Mao look like pikers - they are willing to starve hundreds of millions to avoid the possibility that possible climate change may result in wars over food. Just ask the One.

190 It needs the same level of exposure as the ACORN shit, and right now it's not getting it.

The emails, data, and code need a lot more time for analysis.  Even the internet can't fully digest that much stuff and connect all the dots in a few days.  I think it will take at least two months, possibly longer, before the full story is known.

All we see now is a quick random sampling, not a whiteboarded out evolution of the process and where the players fit into it..

There's a huge amount of cross referencing of stuff external to this data dump that needs to be done.  Its all very detailed and painstaking forensic work.

Neither of you, nor Michelle, knows who hacked (or leaked) the files.  An internal leaker might be protected under UK whistleblower laws.   Who knows, for example, whether the person also sent the files to a UK agency to rat out the CRU people?  Or what if his defense is, "I didn't send it to the authorities because I knew from the files that certain agencies would protect the CRU people, and not me."   If the hacker is in Russia, are there any laws to be prosecuted "to the fullest extent of"?

Until all the facts come out, you're just riffing.  Most likely, MM was just engaged in pro-forma boilerplate. 

Or would you rather she verbally fist-bumped the hackers, and clearly contradict her stance vis a vis Palin?

219 Citation, please.  it's not at her site.

It is, it's just one throwaway line meant to not encourage hackery.  I think the original commenter overreacted.

220 If the CRU code is anything like NOAA code, its shoddy and full of problems.

Go to climate depot and follow some of the links. You will see the beginning of the global warming climate change apologists flooding the site with their religious belief in algore theories. They have already started their campaign of disinformation and ridicule of those who dare to refer to the leaked   e mails and data.  They are relentless, they are many, they do not give up. 

223 My guess and hope is that there is more to come from the hacker/leaker that took down HadleyCRU.

I am glad that these guys are going to be exposed during their lifetime.  Karma is so good.

224 @215: OT, but has anyone heard commercials for "Rosetta Stone" language learning software where the female announcer pronounces the name with emphasis on "stone", as if referring to a person's name? --------- Is that the one where she carefully holds her hands out away from herself, as if she's afraid of touching herself or something?

225 I think the biggest story to come out of this is how conspicuously and deliberately the legacy media will ignore this story or minimize it.

I find it interesting that most degreed conservatives are in the fields of Business, Engineering, and Medicine. (These careers require them to perform with measurable metrics and proven success.

Liberals on the other hand, have degrees in Liberal Arts, Literature, Journalism, Education, Politics, Law, and now Environmental "science". (None of these have ANY measurable metric with which to base success or failure, yet they are allowed to thrive).

Tell me which group is really capable of even having a discussion based on Facts and Truth. (I'll give you a hint - its not hippy anti-american, anti-conservative, anti-family, anti-responsibility, anti-religion whiners who have free time every day to protest).
