Global Warming Email Scandal

November 25. 2009

University of East Anglia in England

The current global warming scandal, regarding hackers breaking into the computers at a British research facility in the University of East Anglia and releasing emails, revealing scientists colluding to manipulate and suppress data, that is contrary to their point of view, is being met with calls for government probes.

Abusing the earth is not a good idea, but some really took global warming to the limits, costing many a great deal of money, inconvenience and guilt.

The revelation of a concerted effort among select, global scientists to silence critics, who have been debunking aspects of the global warming paradigm, violates many international treaties on free speech and free press, not to mention human rights charters, expressly forbidding depriving people of employment and a good name.  

Climategate: how the MSM reported the greatest scandal in modern science

November 21st, 2009 - ...E-mails allegedly written by some of the world’s leading climate scientists have been stolen by hackers and published on websites run by climate change sceptics.

The sceptics claim that the e-mails are evidence that scientists manipulated data in order to strengthen their argument that human activities were causing global warming...

But what it does demonstrate is the growing level of public scepticism towards Al Gore’s Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. That’s why, for example, this story is the single most read item on today’s Telegraph website.

What it also demonstrates – as my dear chum Dan Hannan so frequently and rightly argues – is the growing power of the Blogosphere and the decreasing relevance of the Mainstream Media (MSM).

This is not altogether the MSM’s fault. Partly it is just the way of things that more and more readers prefer their news and opinion served up in snappier, less reverent, more digestible and instant for.

But in the case of “Climate Change”, the MSM has been caught with its trousers down. The reason it has been so ill-equipped to report on this scandal is because almost all of its Environmental Correspondents and Environmental Editors are parti pris members of the Climate-Fear Promotion lobby. Most of their contacts (and information sources) work for biased lobby groups like Greenpeace and the WWF, or conspicuously pro-AGW government departments and Quangos such as the Carbon Trust. ...

As Upton Sinclair once said: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.”...
