Climate research e-mail revalations from the CRU

The Climate Research Unit (CRU) group of scientists based at the University of East Anglia had their mail server hacked and we’ve got quite a few links for you with the details. First off, if accessing and copying the information was illegal, those responsible should be charged. That said, how valuable is this information? Is the context missing? You decide.

One thing seems for certain when you browse through the links … the CRU scientists have absolutely no love for other scientists who may peer review and come up with a different opinion.

One site has built up a search engine for those of you familiar with the science and interested in wading through all of the documentation.

The Web site Bishop Hill has put together a valuable list of the most interesting information revealed in the e-mails. We found the Bishop Hill site through Sweetness & Light. Go read the full post, but here are the first four with out links to the details. Head over to Bishop Hill for the details and links to originals.

  • Phil Jones writes to University of Hull to try to stop sceptic Sonia Boehmer Christiansen using her Hull affiliation. Graham F Haughton of Hull University says its easier to push greenery there now SB-C has retired.
  • Michael Mann discusses how to destroy a journal that has published sceptic papers.
  • Tim Osborn discusses how data are truncated to stop an apparent cooling trend showing up in the results.
  • Phil Jones describes the death of sceptic, John Daly, as “cheering news”.

Update: John Hinderaker at Power Line has a great write-up on the CRU conspirators. It’s amazing how these crooks have a good portion

    More stuff you will never hear on the liberal media.  Of course, if it were "deniers" doing the same thing, there would be story after story about it.  Heck, Oprah would probably even consider delaying her retirement!

     

    The mythical unbiased scientist is the stuff of science fiction.   AGW on the other hand, has the story line of an Ed Wood production (see: Plan Nine from Outer Space).

      The story line and the acting…..

    The refusal of most mainstream publications, the NYTimes in particular, is de facto proof that they are the house organs of the Democrat Party.  They never hesitated to use illegally gained documents against Bush or the CIA, to name a few, and similarly, they never demand or seek legal documentation, such as John Kerry's promised military records.

     

    Is the Fourth Estate becoming a Fifth Column?

    Dare we say that the AGW skeptics are getting "swiftboated" (liberal definition)?  LOL!

    This is very distressing.
