Climate scientists accused of 'manipulating global warming data'

[Admzaa]

The material was taken from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit – a world-renowned climate change research centre – before it was published on websites run by climate change sceptics.

It has been claimed that the emails show that scientists manipulated data to bolster their argument that global warming is genuine and is being caused by human actions.

One email seized upon by sceptics as supposed evidence of this, refers to a “trick” being employed to massage temperature statistics to “hide the decline”.

The university yesterday confirmed that research data had been stolen and published online and said it had reported the security breach to police.

A spokesman said: “We are aware that information from a server used for research information in one area of the university has been made available on public websites.

“Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm that all this material is genuine.

“This information has been obtained and published without our permission and we took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation. We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and have involved the police in this inquiry."

The files were apparently first uploaded on to a Russian server and then mirrored across the internet.

An anonymous statement accompanying the emails said: “We feel that climate science is too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents. Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it.”

One of the emails under scrutiny, dated November 1999, reads: "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."

Scientists who are alleged to be the authors of the emails in question have declined to comment on the matter.

SHOCKED....I tell you, I'm SHOCKED...



(Actually, it IS kind of shocking that someone except FOX News and SKY News published this story)...

Now, now, calm down, sir, you must relax! The rest of the world is beginning to wake up to it!

As of today, Obama has announced, we've moved "a step closer" to making head way in the climate control issue. Obviously, Prez Obama has not heard of the statements, many of the "facts" involving Global Warming is now in doubt. But, what does that matter???

I know the Father would'nt do this but it would be funny if he had sent a angel here in the form of a hacker to "leak" this info!

An interesting article at Pajamas Media regarding this issue. Yet, to be truthful, I really don't expect anything to come of this. I mean, do we really expect Al Gore to come up and say, "oops, I was wrong, sorry". Or, the leaders that be to somehow cancel this meeting in Copenhagen? I hate to say it but, I don't see this happening. And, that's sad too.

What possible recompense could any scientific professional expect for selling their credibility to the "abusing the planet" crowd?? They're now not only fools, but extreme liars as well.

Another article and video that EVERYONE needs to see. I'm quite sure you'll never see this video on any evening news show. Sad...

It’s all moot now, it doesn’t matter. The EPA announced today they are going to enforce emissions as part of the Clean Air Act.

That is code for your taxes are going up.

Hmmm ... sometimes the truth IS inconvenient. Hundreds and hundreds of millions (maybe billions) of dollars in research grants are now at stake, along with industrial investment, scientific and political reputations, and major policies of world governments. I am looking forward to watching the machinations of all of these stakeholders as they seek ways to discredit this leaked evidence. Sadly, I have no doubt they will. To admit the truth would be to bring a major house of cards a-tumbling down.

Yep. the bottom line is all that ever matters. This is the same thing that has gone on with the evolution crowd. Hundreds of millions of grant dollars have been handed out to "scientists" to conduct "research" that upheld the evolution theory, and if you expected any future funding, your research had better line up in support of evolution--same show; different channel.
