It has started – the infighting begins in the court of public opinion.

Climategate: Phil Jones accused of making error of judgment by colleague

Quote:
One of the scientists to whom the emails were addressed, Professor Michael Mann, the Director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University has moved to distance himself from some of the comments in the emails that suggest scientists did not want the IPCC, the UN body charged with monitoring climate change, to consider studies that challenged the view global warming was genuine and man-made.
Frauds all, now scurry like cockroaches in the light of day for cover!

Let the games begin...

Quote:
Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday abruptly canceled a Dec. 16 personal appearance that was to be staged during the United Nations' Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which begins next week.
Now, to give back that academy award.

The fraudsters need to be in prison.

Billions of dollars wasted on public policy based upon a fraud. I imagine some of the eco-greens in California are kind of feeling stupid right now, right?

And then we hear from the apologists with "they did the right thing because the earth is polluted and they wanted to clean up pollution" as that justifies lying, cheating and fraud.

Note directed at the eco-greens. I am an environmentalist, I like a cleaner planet, I like green trees, healthy forests and clean water. I want clean oceans, healthy rivers and clean air.

Republican or democrat we all want these things. Contrary to what some liberals would have us believe not a single republican wants to leave a filthy world to their grandchildren.

But maybe I am wrong, are there any conservative republicans here that want to leave a dirty, filthy world full of mercury, pcb's and other contaminates to your grandchildren? If so please identify yourself.

We need to clean up, I am all for cleaning up it has my full support as does energy independence.

Got it?

But what infuriates me is having policy based upon a fraud. Of having "scientists" who use scare tactics, cook books and make up numbers. Of relying on computer models and when the models don't work like they are supposed to they change the code so it goes their way.

That is what infuriates me.

Give me the honest science without the hype. Kick Al Gore to the curb.


Speaking of Al Gore did you know it was Kenneth Lay of Enron fame who first cooked up the idea of selling carbon credits?

While climate change sceptics argue the emails are proof scientists have been hiding evidence of temperature decline, Prof Mann said he believed the incident "false controversy" manufactured by sceptics "to distract the public and to distract policy-makers to try to thwart efforts next week in Copenhagen".
What??? I downloaded the entire zip file and the stuff I am reading is not "cooked up" by skeptics. These people have no shame.

Speaking of Al Gore, this old news is back in the news. Maybe people will start to pay attention this time in.

THE HEAT IS ON

Gore's 'carbon offsets' paid to firm he owns]Critics say justification for energy-rich lifestyle serves as way for former VP to profit

Quote:
Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a "carbon neutral" lifestyle by buying "carbon offsets," but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.

Nope. This is a religion. Blind faith and belief.
