Climategate - How the science of global warming was compromised

It was James Delingpole who, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term “Climategate” to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, namely, the conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth, and the greatest scientific scandal of our age. “The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents,” he said, “is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).”

To refresh everyone’s memory on what this whole thing is all about, here is the accurate reconstruction of what happened provided by Spiegel Online International, the English edition of the German news magazine Der Spiegel: How the Science of Global Warming Was Compromised (and how the conflict between climate researchers and climate skeptics could be resolved).

One more tip for those looking for a different perspective on the climate debate than the MSM gives you: be sure to tune in to PJTV.com/ICCC: LIVE coverage of the Heartland Institute’s 4th Annual International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC-4)—a worldwide gathering of global warming “realists”—on May 16-18 (direct interviews with participants and live streaming the keynote speakers).

    Climategate pro and con is so counterproductive, because even if there is a bit of global warming provable statistically, there's not near enough. Global warming is good not bad. Who wants a planet filled with giant ice waste areas? And CO2 in the atmosphere is good not bad, since it's what plants breathe, and if we could pump far more into the atmosphere than there is now we might be on the way to greening all the deserts, turning poor countries rich and feeding the teeming billions.

    Liberals have to lie; about everything. This was a hoax and I like this exposure. We all must shine the light of truth on every Liberal lie like was done here. They lie about the environment, they lie about taxes, they lie about the Constitution, they lie about the founding fathers, they lie about the history of this country and Western Civilization, they lie about capitalism and economics. We need to keep the light focused on them, like what happened with this hoax, and keep the beam wide and bright.
