More Lies: Climate Researchers Manipulated & Hid Data

,From The Guardian Monday 1 February 2010 - Fred Pearce

E-mails leaked by hackers from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit (CRU) turned up additional concerns. A study by the London paper, The Guardian, found serious flaws in measurements from Chinese weather stations, noting that documents from them could not be produced.

The e-mails revealed that Chinese monitoring stations were moved several times, making their data unreliable. This data was cited by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to prove rapid global warming in the last few decades.

Further, according to The Guardian, CRU chief scientist Phil Jones withheld information requested under freedom of information laws. Of 105 freedom of information requests concerning the climatic research unit (CRU), only 10 had been released in full.

There had been some question concerning the work of Jones's collaborator, Wei-Chyung Wang of the University at Albany-SUNY. Allegations are that he committed fraud in his research cited by the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC (2007) on
“urban heat islands” (a critical issue). Douglas J. Keenan has detailed it in a paper - THE FRAUD ALLEGATION AGAINST SOME CLIMATIC RESEARCH OF WEI-CHYUNG WANG

Wang was cleared of scientific fraud by his university, but new information brought on by the emails indicates at least one senior colleague had serious concerns about the affair and told Jones that he feared that Wang had "screwed up."

"The former director of the unit, Tom Wigley, harboured grave doubts about the cover-up of the shortcomings in Jones and Wang's work. Wigley was in charge of CRU when the original paper was published. "Were you taking W-CW [Wang] on trust?" he asked Jones. He continued: "Why, why, why did you and W-CW not simply say this right at the start?"

Unfortunately, it now seems that documents Wang claimed would exonerate him and Jones do not exist.

Climate Chief KNEW of False Glacier Claims Before Copenhagen

.
From The Times January 30, 2010 -Ben Webster

The Times of London reports that research has shown that IPCC's assessment that Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 was false, and Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of IPCC, was told this way before the Copenhagen summit.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)is the U.N.'s leading climate change watchdog. Many look to the organization to be a respectable purveyor of truth. But Pachauri waited two months, until after the Copenhagen summit, to correct the false From The Times January 30, 2010report that his organization had published. He failed to act despite knowing that their claim had been refuted by leading glaciologists.

The IPCC’s report that the glaciers were melting at an alarming rate was the foundation for many proposals at Copenhagen for drastic cuts in global emissions.

However, most glaciologists believe the Himalayan glaciers are so thick and high altitude that at their present rate, they will take hundreds of years to melt. Some are growing and many show little sign of change.

Dr Pachauri, who played a leading role at the summit, corrected the error only after coming under media pressure following the summit. He told The Times on January 22 that he had only known about the error a few days.

When asked whether he had kept silent deliberately to avoid embarrassment at Copenhagen, he said: “That’s ridiculous. It never came to my attention before the Copenhagen summit. It wasn’t in the public sphere.”

"However, Pallava Bagla, who writes for Science journal, said he had asked Dr Pachauri about the 2035 error in November of 2009.

Dr Pacharui has also been accused of using the error to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

"Climategate" & Leaked Emails: Scientists that should be Jailed

. 
Facts from the Wall Street Journal:

3,000 emails and documents of some of the world's most influential climatologists were released in the fall of 2009 after the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit's servers were hacked and messages were published on the Internet.

Phil Jones, director of the University of East Anglia's CRU, and Michael Mann, director of the Pennsylvania State University's Earth System Science Center, were two of the emailers that were focused on.

Among some of the facts that came out: These Scientists urged each other 'to present a "unified" view on their theory of man-made climate change, calling it an important "common cause." They also advised each other on how to adjust data so it wouldn't compromise their hypothesis, discussed ways to keep opposing views out of leading Science journals,  and gave tips on how to "hide the decline" of temperature in certain inconvenient data.

Mr. Jones wrote in 2005, "The two MMs (probably Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick, two Canadians who devoted years trying to obtain the raw data and codes used in climate graphs, then fact-checking them) have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the U.K., I think I'll delete the file rather than send to anyone. . . . We also have a data protection act, which I will hide behind."

Mann and friends also seemed to work at blacklisting scientists who disagreed wth their hypothesis of Global Warming, as well as journals that published Global Warming skeptics' work.

"I think we have to stop considering 'Climate Research' as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal," states an email (said to be from Mr. Mann in March 2003.)  "Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal."

Nice guy.  Reminds you of one of History's worst Scientists - Trofim Lysenko.

• Al Gore, the guy who told us to stop using so much energy and to beware of the sea rising dramatically, has purchased another new mansion - this one on the beach...
• Michael ‘Stick’ Mann, the scientist behind the hokey hockey-stick graph, is suing over a parody video...
• The University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit, the CRU that screamed about Global Warming for the last decade, now claims we are heading into a new ice age...

• CO2 has pretty much nothing to do with global warming...
• Cap & Trade, the biggest heist in American history....
• Electric cars are great, unless you want to go anywhere...
• Organic food, much beloved of hippies everywhere and a staple of warmists buy local diet, isn’t any better for you than regular food...

Ridding History of Inconvenient Truth: Wikipedia Editor erased Climate History online

.
Can it get any better than this? "A British scientist and Wikipedia administrator rewrote climate history, editing more than 5,000 unique articles in the online encyclopedia to cover traces of a medieval warming period – something that Climategate scientists saw as a major roadblock in the effort to spread the global warming message."

Right; don't let Truth, Fact and History get in the way.

Can't have any inconvenient truths around, now, can we.

The University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, according to the famous leaked emails, was apparently trying to brush aside the 'Medieval Warm Period,' a 400-year era that began around A.D. 1000.

Keith Briffa, a researcher, said in a 1999 e-mail, "I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards 'apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data' but in reality the situation is not quite so simple. … I believe that the recent warmth was probably matched about 1,000 years ago."

However, anyone bringing up the fact that climate change is cyclical was ignored. The famous Hockey stick graph was published again and again showing stable temperatures over the last 1,000 years, omitting any indication of a warming period.

What I don't get is - why? I've heard that money is to be gained; it certainly does look like Gore, at the very least, has made a good living off of this fraud. Apparently, there was lots of Climate Research grants available, and these "scientists" wanted to make sure they got it and that it kept coming. They created a "problem" - a reason for their paycheck.

What a great system we have.
