Global Warming Scam Exposed

The Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia has been hacked and there is a massive file of emails and code up on a server in Russia. BBC



Some of the excerpts of emails within the archives (edited for brevity, emphasis added):

From Michael E. Mann:

Dear Phil and Gabi,
I’ve attached a cleaned-up and commented version of the matlab code that I wrote for doing the Mann and Jones (2003) composites. I did this knowing that Phil and I are likely to have to respond to more crap criticisms from the idiots in the near future, so best to clean up the code and provide to some of my close colleagues in case they want to test it, etc. Please feel free to use this code for your own internal purposes, but don’t pass it along where it may get into the hands of the wrong people.

From Nick McKay:

The Korttajarvi record was oriented in the reconstruction in the way that McIntyre said. I took a look at the original reference – the temperature proxy we looked at is x-ray density, which the author interprets to be inversely related to temperature. We had higher values as warmer in the reconstruction, so it looks to me like we got it wrong, unless we decided to reinterpret the record which I don’t remember. Darrell, does this sound right to you?

From Tom Wigley:

We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming — and skeptics might claim that this proves that urban warming is real and important.

From Phil Jones:

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.

From Kevin Trenberth:

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. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.

From Michael Mann:

Perhaps we'll do a simple update to the Yamal post, e.g. linking Keith/s new page--Gavin t? As to the issues of robustness, particularly w.r.t. inclusion of the Yamal series, we actually emphasized that (including the Osborn and Briffa '06 sensitivity test) in our original post! As we all know, this isn't about truth at all, its about plausibly deniable accusations.

From Phil Jones:

The skeptics seem to be building up a head of steam here! ... The IPCC comes in for a lot of stick. Leave it to you to delete as appropriate! Cheers Phil
PS I’m getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act !

From Michael E. Mann:

Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that you’re free to use RC [RealClimate.org - A supposed neutral climate change website] Rein any way you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through, and we’ll be very careful to answer any questions that come up to any extent we can. On the other hand, you might want to visit the thread and post replies yourself. We can hold comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you’d like us to include.

From Phil Jones:

If FOIA does ever get used by anyone, there is also IPR to consider as well. Data is covered by all the agreements we sign with people, so I will be hiding behind them.

Lord Mandelson's (information principles)

5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement an information campaign

6. To be perceived, information must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.

7. Credibility alone must determine whether information output should be true or false.

8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of opposition information; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current information campaigns determine whether opposition information should be ignored or refuted.

9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether information materials should be censored.

10. Material from opposition information may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that opposition's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.

15. Information to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.

16. Information to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.

a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective

18. Information must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.

Groundhog Day 15

Yesterday the European Court of Auditors published their annual report on the EU's budget -- and in what becoming a European Union tradition, they have refused to sign off on the accounts. This makes 15 years in a row the EU's own accountants have reckoned there was too many holes in the books to allow them to sign and clear the accounts.



It doesn't mater how fast you chase the European Union Commission, you never catch up with the money.

This can only be expressed as EU = mc15.

Where EU is the immovable object, mc = mass corruption and 15 is the number of years that the auditors have been unable to sign off the European Union accounts.

The Fraud Act 2006 introduces several general offences of fraud which may be committed by a person or persons who:

makes a false representation
fails to disclose information when he is under a legal duty to do so;
abuses a position of trust

The European Union and the EU Commission draws upon its LEGAL BASIS on budgetary maters from Article 268 to 280 of the EC Treaty. As the European Union has not performed or been in legal compliance for 15 years we should now withdraw from the European Union using the provision of Article 61 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties

Article 61 Supervening impossibility of performance

A party may invoke the impossibility of performing a treaty as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from it if the impossibility results from the permanent disappearance or destruction of an object indispensable for the execution of the treaty. If the impossibility is temporary, it may be invoked only as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty.

15 years of non compliance feels fairly permanent to me.

I am a doughnut

This evening as a guest of Angela Merkel, Gordon Brown is among world leaders attending celebrations to mark the toppling of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago.

We will remember them

As men and women from all over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth put masses and masses of CO2 into the atmosphere travelling to London to pay their respects to those who had lost their lives defending our freedoms. It was sadly noted that their were no eco or climate change warriors marching past the cenotaph today.



When the sun goes down, the lights go out and we freeze in our eco friendly hovels.

We will remember them........

Some corner, some field

And don't forget...it is recognised today that many of the soldiers who were shot at dawn may have suffered from "shell shock" or "battle fatigue" and were obviously under extreme stress, which resulted in them deserting or other actions. Today these conditions are better known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is recognised as an illness.

On the Eve of Rememberance Day

Gordon Brown has called for serious consideration of a levy on financial activity to help insure the banking system from another crisis.



Addressing finance ministers and central bankers from the G20, Brown said Britain would not make such a move alone and that imposing any new tax would have to be a global.
