Climate Change and the Hadley CRU Hack

I pondered whether to put this here in the cloudwatching blog, or on my more political blog - but decided to whack it up here, since this chemtrail spraying is often dismissed as weather modification to decrease 'global warming'.

Now, while I would usually lambaste anyone who supports 'hacking' and the theft of private data, I must say that with regard to the AGWers I have a hard time feeling all that sorry and would kind of like to shake this particular thief's hand.

It seems that the Hadley Climate Research Unit's database and email storage was successfully hacked, thousands of emails have now come to the fore:

Hadley Hacked: Warmist conspiracy exposed?

So the 1079 emails and 72 documents seem indeed evidence of a scandal involving most of the most prominent scientists pushing the man-made warming theory - a scandal that is one of the greatest in modern science. I’ve been adding some of the most astonishing in updates below - emails suggesting 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. If it is as it now seems, never again will “peer review” be used to shout down sceptics.

This is clearly not the work of some hacker, but of an insider who’s now blown the whistle.

Not surprising, then, that Steve McIntyre reports:
Earlier today, CRU cancelled all existing passwords. Actions speaking loudly.


Keep in mind that the CRU is the same organisation who has previously been caught destroying data:

The Dog Ate My Global Warming Data

If we are to believe Jones’s note to the younger Pielke, CRU adjusted the original data and then lost or destroyed them over twenty years ago. The letter to Warwick Hughes may have been an outright lie. After all, Peter Webster received some of the data this year. So the question remains: What was destroyed or lost, when was it destroyed or lost, and why?

This outing of some of the most vociferous proponents of the Global Warming myth is monolithic in scope. Added to the denials of FOI requests, the trashing of the 'hockey' stick model and the clearly political nature (NOT scientific) of the AGW agenda this 'hack' will hopefully end this insane rush to a 'carbon credit' economy.

AGW has nothing, I repeat NOTHING to do with preserving or remediating our damaged ecological environment, it DOES has a lot to do with making certain people VERY rich.

So, follow the links, keep your eyes open and question, question then question some more.

BTW - they are spraying here again today - will post pics later on.
