Global Warming Fraud

The University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit has had its email system hacked and a large amount of data released to the internet. The director of the unit (Dr. Phil Jones) has confirmed the leaked emails are genuine. The real story is the suspicious content of the emails. For example:

Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. 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 [sic] from1961 for Keith's to hide the decline.
I've spent a majority of my life working in the sciences. Phrases like trick of adding in the real temps and hide the decline should never occur in relation to honest science. From another email:
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.
Note the bias in the view. With lack of evidence of increasing temperatures the conclusion is that the observation system must be wrong. It has to be warming, we just can't measure it. Hot Air has much much more.

I can promise you I will continue to follow this story. Details to be posted as they are uncovered.

Such blind faith in global warming is astounding. "It has to be warming, we just can't measure it." Well, can You measure the cooling moron?

Don't worry the MSM will be all over this story. Be assured that the media will not rest until they have tracked down the person who hacked into a University's data. Also, out of respect for the University's privacy the media will NOT share any of the hacked data.

wolfwalker:

Unfortunately, Dan, you picked two of the less convincing excerpts to publish.

"trick of adding in the real temps" may be using "trick" as a synonym for "method" or "technique," especially if the method being used is not obvious.

In your second excerpt, it isn't clear which data is being called "clearly wrong." Is it the CERES data that shows "even more warming," or is it some other data that doesn't agree with the CERES data?

You'd have done better to point to this bit from a post at a blog called Briefing Room:

The other paper by MM is just garbage - as you knew. De Freitas again. Pielke is also losing all credibility as well by replying to the mad Finn as well - frequently as I see it. I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. K and I will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is !

gary gulrud:

McIntyre, of M&M, at Climate Audit has been all over the 'global temperature reconstructions' to which these files and emails pertain.

First up was the Mann, Bradley, Hughes "Hockey Stick". McIntyre's analysis using the files released left to the reader the logical conclusion that fraud was being perpetrated.

This year McIntyre found Jone's colleague at CRU, Keith Briffa, with a Yamal dendro study, was effectively pursuing a parallel track.

The tree rings putatively record temperature by their width, when, in fact, they are more sensitive to H2O and CO2 levels.

The emails, in particular, seem to implicate Jones as a ringleader of the collusion already apparent to statistics experts like McIntyre.

In addition, tax evasion is implied and abetted.

This is fertile soil for litigation against investigators corresponding in the 1000-odd emails released by the hacker.

Another Denial from the Par... (Below threshold)
Angelllight:

Another Denial from the Party of No & Fear...., of course the weather patterns are changing, even a fool can see something is happening and that we need to address this situation -- for that too become too late as in the financial crisis, healthcare crisis! Why do we have so many crisis in this country?

It makes no good sense for anyone to oppose healthcare reform. It seems some are more worried about Insurance companies being crowded out due to competition and lower costs than the Health of the people. Or the fact that they are more concerned for the Insurance Compaines that the small businesses who have to pay high premiums for their employees, forcing some out of business or some to set up shop elsewhere other than the United States!

It is too bad that we have a certain group -- the Party of No and Fear -- who are Advocates of Can't, Won't, Shouldn't, Distortion, Fear, Hatred and Divisiveness. They are a dark group, a bitter group. For too long we have been spoon-fed a bunch of lies and fear by these powers who want to immobolize us, paralyze us and confuse us and to keep us circling the Yellow Brick Road!

It is a sad fact that the Afghanistan War too is a false war. These terrorists do not stay in one place or in one country, they are all over. And we are not at war with any one country, this is a fallacy. WE are in a "struggle" with an ideology, yes or evil, yes, but we are not at war with any country. Since, we have terrorists in our own country who are not Muslims, does this make us at war with the United States?

Oh, if we only had a Brain....., Courage....., Heart/LOVE!

You fill that bill nicely.

Mac Lorry:

As I have said before true science doesn't hide data nor methods. If you read Climate Audit you'll see they struggle to get access to the data and methods used in prominent studies. The sense is that there's a concerted effort by climate alarmists to hide data and methods. The hacked emails show why they want to maintain such secrecy.

Should nations be making trillion dollar decisions based on junk science or should Congress call for an independent audit of the science underpinning the IPCC's assessments as well as the list of studies it rejected. Lets see if the IPCC and it's contributors meet the simple test of transparence that defines true science.

Any paper or study for which the original data and methods cannot be made publicly available should be thrown out. For all other studies, they should be reviewed by several qualified scientists, but who individually don't know who else is doing a review of the same study. Then let them publicly report their findings and we'll see if there's any consensus, and if so, what it is.

If AGW is real then the science behind it will survive such scrutiny. If not, the scammers should be exposed, and regulations put in place to prevent this type of fraud in the future.

Staylor:

Oh yet another clever and insightful contribution from Angelight who, after a passing nod at the actual topic, goes into a barely comprehensible rant about healthcare and the Afgan war. To think that I had survived so many years without such piercing intelligence and sage wisdom.
One can't but help appreciate the irony of someone calling the conservatives the "Party of No & Fear" all the while buying into the Global Warming fear mongering fear fest. Somehow I am a coward because I think that every member of Al Qaeda should be hunted down without quarter; but if some one thinks that a couple parts per million of CO2 is going to destroy the owrld unless we tank the economy first, that is somehow brave and noble.
Angellight: crawl back under your rock.

Oyster:

I've got mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if these emails are indicative of a massive fraud, I feel it's good that it gets out in the open. On the other hand, hacking into any institution's email is bad juju.

I think, by using the word "trick", he was being honest, even if only by accident.
