Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]

I fear the ES is correct. Regardless of what happens, investigation trials or jail time, the systems for harnessing this "issue" is already in place and entrenched. I doubt it will stop anytime soon - it was after all never really about the science or the planet.

At this point - the only way that western civilization will survive is for the whole house of cards to come crashing down (and it will). Hopefully something better will emerge in it's place.

Follow the money and it will lead to the big fish like Gore and his cronies. Find out who paid who to falsify the data and hide the real data. Once they are on trial for financial fraud and end up in a jail cell like Madoff, that will be the end of the entire scam. That is what Lord Monkton was taking about the other night on Michael Savage.

It`s a nice thought - but it won`t happen. If anything the AGW position will slowly be abandoned and another non-crisis will take its place. My guess would be the need for more government and regulation to fight infectious diseases - or there is always the possibility of more financial manipulation.

Frankly, this has become all to predictable - almost cyclical.

We can be assured Peter Mansbridge will never mention this development on the CBC national news however I'm sure the US Senate committee investigating global warming and cap and trade legislation will be very interested in this revelation. I believe the jig is up for fatso Gore and compatriots but it still will be a fight to get MSM to accurately report the issue.

I wouldn't be so sure about the US Senate. The Democrats control it - and they're about as interested in exposing global warming as a fraud as Peter Mansbridge. Republican Senator Inhofe can push for all the investigations he wants, but ultimately, the Democrats hold all the power - at least until 2010.

The Dems aren't going to be in power much longer the way they are going. Senator Inhofe needs to start making noise now about an investigation. Get all the radio talk show and TV time that he can. If the Dems are blocking an investigation into this huge fraud, it will only work against them at the ballot box and end up getting more Republicans elected who can then force an investigation.

Whoever hacked the information is a true friend of truth and deserves the thanks of people across the globe.


Although hacking into a database is hardly considered noble, in this case it is noble. At great personal risk and no financial gain somebody wanted the truth to get out.

I salute them!

The Democrats will control the US Senate until at least the 2010 elections - of that we can be certain. If Republicans take control of the Senate at those elections, they won't be seated until January 2011. IMO, the Republicans' chances of taking back the House are higher than the Senate, given the composition of those up for reelection (only 1/3rd of Senators are up for election in any given year, and about as many Democrats seats are up as Republican ones. But the Democrats in many of those seats are well entrenched, while more Republican seats are vulnerable or open).

I'm sure Senator Infofe will be making noise about the e-mail revelations. Talk radio will give him a platform, but I doubt the MSM will give him much coverage. Nor will they cover the e-mails, just the theft. Remember - when information damaging to conservatives is illegally leaked, the media reports on the information, but when information damaging to liberals is illegally leak, they report on the illegality of the leak and not the damaging information.

Manipulation of evidence:

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.

Private doubts about whether the world really is heating up:

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.

Suppression of evidence:

Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4?

Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis.

Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address.

We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.

Fantasies of violence against prominent Climate Sceptic scientists:

Next
time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I’ll be tempted to beat
the crap out of him. Very tempted.

Attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP):

……Phil and I have recently submitted a paper using about a dozen NH records that fit this category, and many of which are available nearly 2K back–I think that trying to adopt a timeframe of 2K, rather than the usual 1K, addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to “contain” the putative “MWP”, even if we don’t yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back….

But we have to have government big science.

We just have to.

<p>If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/19/breaking-news-story-hadley-cru-has-apparently-been-hacked-hundreds-of-files-released/#more-12937">Watts Up With That</a>)</p><p>When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential.

<p>Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the alleged emails has a gentle gloat over the death in 2004 of John L Daly (one of the first climate change sceptics, founder of the <a href="http://www.john-daly.com/">Still Waiting For Greenhouse</a> site), commenting:</p><blockquote>

<p>“In an odd way this is cheering news.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,<br>
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or<br>
first thing tomorrow.<br>
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps<br>
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from<br>

1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual<br>
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land<br>
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999<br>
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with<br>
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.<br>
Thanks for the comments, Ray.</p>

<blockquote><p>Whatever the reason for the divergence, it would seem to suggest that the practice of grafting the thermometer record onto a proxy temperature record – as I believe was done in the case of the ‘hockey stick’ – is dubious to say the least.</p></blockquote>
<p>mike's response speaks for itself.</p>
<blockquote><p>No researchers in this field have ever, to our knowledge, "grafted the thermometer record onto" any reconstrution. It is somewhat disappointing to find this specious claim (which we usually find originating from industry-funded climate disinformation websites) appearing in this forum.</p></blockquote>

<p>But there is an interesting twist here: grafting the thermometer onto a reconstruction is not actually the original "Mike's Nature trick"! Mann did not <i>fully</i> graft the thermometer on a reconstruction, but he stopped the smoothed series in their end years. The trick is more sophisticated, and was uncovered by UC over <a href="http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=1553#comment-340175">here</a>.<p><I>Read it all at the links, and especially the comments...</i>

This is an inside job.

This is an inside job.

It certainly has the "look & feel" ( or is that
taste & smell?" ) of it.

Those opposed to these revelations ( Can we smear them as "deniers, yet?" ) are trying to get into high dudgeon over the hack, but are being reminded of H.R. Haldeman and the Pentagon Papers and that "speak truth to power!" thing the Left loved so much, back then, and O! So! recently...

...and every so often the truth raises her sublime and majestic head to make liars of the politically correct liars.

Whoever hacked the information is a true friend of truth and deserves the thanks of people across the globe.


Although hacking into a database is hardly considered noble, in this case it is noble. At great personal risk and no financial gain somebody wanted the truth to get out.

I salute them!

Is the hacker Canadian?....if so, here's a guy who really deserves the Order of Canada instead of Morgentaler or Mansbridge.

Of course sarcasm on my part. Been reading the links and other reports that the info was sent to an anonymous Russian address.

Still better if he got the Order though than some...

I don't think there are even any guesses about who the hacker is and there is also a theory that it was a whistleblower. But you're right, if the hacker is Canadian he deserves the Order of Canada and the thanks of honourable people around the world.
