At last, major global warming scientists, some based in England, are shown to be what they are – shameful pushers of lies and scientific fraud. Those of us who oppose the movement already know they are liars, but it is important that their deceptions are brought out into the open for all to see. They have derogated and scorned reputable scientists for opposing warming ideas, so now let them be scorned by their own discovered deceptions.

They hide the true facts, they stop anti-warming scientists from getting their work published, they distort figures, they feed the IPCC with lies, just to keep the myth going. As I have said before, they do it to get to their main goal – money, power and socialism. Yes, it might sound like a broken record, but what can you do when that is what is going on? Recent revelations exploded on the scene just a few days ago, but few in the media reported on it! Why? Because they are biased toward error and toward the business of making up stories that shock and spread doom. They increase readership and listeners, whereas good news does not. I predict that no government, except for those already refusing to be harassed into signing treaties on warming, will bother to take this on board, unless they are forced to by voters. They want the lies to continue so that they can cripple their countries with ‘green’ taxes – which are many already – and get power for themselves. No doubt, ‘truth-or-lie’ websites will want to get in quick to deny or accept that the revelations are genuine or not. Just bear in mind that there is only one way they can prove their case – that is, if someone admits to being the hacker and admits to inventing what he said. There is no other way to prove or disprove what has been revealed. Even then, the ‘hacker’ who makes such an admission may not be genuine… it is not beyond imagination that scientists caught out by the revelations would get someone to take the blame, in return for favours unknown… maybe a promise of a completed PhD, or money, or some other incentive. After all, the stakes are very high, and world leaders are relying on these lies as a basis for their own lies and power struggle. For myself, I have been revealing the truth about environmentalism for some years now, and I know greenies are liars and frauds. I have shown some of this in my own literature. So have others. Al Gore has already been shown to be a consummate liar, particularly in his film, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, which was dismembered point-by-point by an UK court. All greenie science has been debunked. But no politician will allow such truth to dissuade them from taking powers beyond their remit!

Climategate

Tim Blair said in the UK’s Daily Telegraph:

“Should they (emails) be proved genuine, which is looking likely at this point, in the absence of denials, these emails are absolute dynamite.”

‘The Austrian’ newspaper said:

“Computer hackers have broken into Britain’s leading climate science research centre, making public thousands of private emails between top climate change scientists and, in the process, laying bare their bitter disagreements about the cause of climate change.”

We already know this, but the media refuses to say so! The ‘top scientists’ referred to feed the UN’s IPCC with fraudulent and fake figures. One of them is Michael Mann, who invented the ridiculously infamous ‘hockey stick’… twice! And it was twice debunked. But, it is still being used. The Sydney Morning Herald unwittingly admitted the ‘stolen’ emails were genuine by quoting one of the ‘leading scientists’ hacked; he said they were “leaks”. By saying that, he admits the material stolen was genuine, for leaks come from a source! Other scientists, irate at the IPCC rejecting their own papers in favour of these fraudulent ones, demands to know why their papers were rejected. The reason is that the IPCC only wanted contributions that agreed with their pro-warming stance, because this is what their sponsor governments want to hear! This, however, is very bad science. The IPCC should have published all contributions, to let world scientists see for themselves the pro and con arguments. To reject them beforehand is evidence not of good science, but of propaganda in progress. But, as the IPCC is financed by world governments, who want fake answers to support their socialist cause, it is quite happy to make fraudulent reports, such as the 2007 Report that kicked off the current global warming scare. Climate scientist Roger Pielke Sr (quoted from blogs,news.com.au) is very angry and demands to know the extent to which the IPCC has been hijacked by frauds:

“The challenge to the IPCC community, now that their duplicity has been exposed, is to communicate to all of us why the peer-reviewed papers that we documented, and that were available in time for the IPCC review process, were considered ‘bad papers’, and thus ignored in the IPCC report. A balanced assessment would comment on these papers, and provide the reason they disagree with their results.”

Former UK Chancellor Lord Nigel Lawson, who has himself written a semi-opposition to climate claims, comments in The Times that “at first blush (it seems to have emerged) the scientists have been manipulating the raw temperature figures to show a relentlessly rising global warming trend… have consistently refused outsiders access to raw data… avoided freedom of information requests… and have discussed ways to prevent papers by dissenting scientists being published in learned journals.” You don’t say! There are thousands of dissenting scientists throughout the world, but their data and comments are never published. That makes it a genuine conspiracy, one that some of us have discovered for ourselves. The reason why raw data are not given is that they will show deliberate manipulation by bad scientists. This untested raw information is written to deceive, and is passed on to the IPCC, who are complicit in the fraud at every stage. Lawson goes on to say:

“… what is clear is that the integrity of the scientific evidence on which not merely the British government, but other countries, too, through the (IPCC), claim to base far-reaching and hugely expensive policy decisions, has been called into question. And the reputation of British science has been seriously tarnished. A high-level independent inquiry must be set up without delay.”

I have said all this elsewhere. From what I have seen, the frauds in all branches of science have been many. That this observation has gone unnoticed by top-ranking scientists is inconceivable! It just isn’t possible! But, what is probable, is that top pro-warming scientists, not wishing to lose their ranking, are manipulating facts and figures, rather than face the truth, that what they are teaching is wrong. If you think science is always ‘sweetness and light’ and always tells the truth, then think again. In the past 40 years I have come across multiple stark and disturbing fakes projected by renowned scientists. And, as I have commented before, one of the biggest of these is evolution. Darwinist scientists use exactly the same propaganda methods as are used by greenies. The reasons behind this are the same, too – they have nothing worthwhile to say and cover it with lies, deception, and scorning of the opposition. There is no science behind evolution, just plenty of wishes that it were true… just like greeny pseudo-science If scientific findings are true, then let them be commented on properly. To deny them public airing is proof of fakery and a fear of findings being falsified… without a process of falsification any scientific claim can be justly ignored or held in suspicion! I will accept any genuine finding if it arises from the observable facts. But, I refuse to accept anything I cannot check, or that is disallowed by others, or is not feasible. I have seen too many propaganda exercises to let these fakes control my thinking!

Phil Jones

Prof Jones is one of the main culprits in this charade. He gets a cool (sorry – warm) £25 million for his pro-warming ‘work’. Yet, he and others like him, attack sceptical scientists like Richard Lindzen for appearing as an expert witness on behalf of an oil company for only $10,000!! This hypocrisy goes on all the time amongst pro-warmists, but no-one picks up on it… because they don’t want to. Some of the emails sent or received by Jones show that authors of reports “cooperated covertly to ensure that only papers favourable to CO2-forced AGW were published, and that editors and journals publishing contrary papers were punished. They also attempted to ‘discipline’ scientists and journalists who published sceptical information.” I know the latter is true, because it happens to me! Fortunately, I am not funded by government, but if I were still employed in a college I know I would have been dismissed long ago.

Prior Warning

When I began to speak out against global warming/climate change/CO2 nonsense, I did so in what seemed to be an innocuous way, by writing about it in hotel industry publications. Whilst the publications accepted the material, the reaction from pro-warmists was severe, so I had to stop writing about it. The critics wanted editors to reject my work, and even to publish retractions! But, not one of the critics provided anything to question what I said. In this way vast conglomerates are making huge amounts of money on the back of a myth. My warning to them was simple – by all means increase your income through public ignorance, but, ultimately, you will all be responsible for perpetuating a damning lie, and this, in the end, will turn against you. Who listens? Not the ones making money! I was criticised for writing about things that “have nothing to do with hotels and travel” I was astounded. Hotels, airlines, resorts, are all adding ‘green’ taxes to their costs, and passing them on to customers; they are blackmailing suppliers into applying for mythical green certificates, or they will be struck off their lists; carbon offsetting is now part of airline and hotel agendas… nothing to do with them? Please, be sensible. But, the same lack of common sense is now found everywhere. Of course, others have also been issuing warnings for some time, and they are mostly respected scientists. It is not just that the science is fraudulent: it is that governments are using the fakery to impose their power on the people and cripple their countries’ financial viability, as well as to destroy any standard of living obtained by hard work. Even greenies will come to realise their folly when they can no longer afford to live! In one email, Jones says that everything he and others say about warming et al is just “gut feeling, no science”. Well, it’s comforting to know that mass socialism and all its freakish demands and public destruction are based on gut feelings, but are being touted as ‘scientific’! (Note that Marx also claimed his socialistic system was ‘scientific’). The Wall Street Journal writes that correspondence between dozens of climate-change researchers shows bitter disagreements that climate or warming is affected by humans. They also complain that scientists with clout are excluding any papers critical of their warmist position from publication. One climate scientist, Pat Michaels of the Cato Institute, is ‘bad mouthed’ in some of the emails. He comments that

“This is what everyone feared. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for anyone who does not view global warming as an end-of-the-world issue to publish papers. This isn’t questionable practice; this is unethical.”

When I completed my first paper, in 1985, after three years of research, proving that homosexuality was solely responsible for what was to become known as AIDS, I was quickly attacked and forced out of my job, I received death threats from activists if I continued to speak out, publications about the findings were ‘removed’ from official sources, the Department of Health suddenly stopped giving me raw data, and, behind my back, activists colluded with college principles to ban me from ever obtaining academic work again. After a long period of diminishing lecturing jobs, I discovered this by chance in the year 1990, five years later, when a prospective employer showed me a letter he had received in response to a request for a reference! Exactly the same thing happened again in the year 2005… only this time I have not recovered and the attack delivered a final blow that stops me finding work. And they got away with it. Of course, those who dislike what I have to say are delighted, but they don’t seem to understand that the same system that got rid of me is likely to also get rid of them, for other reasons. So I know all about collusion by frauds and what they are capable of. Rather than let findings be assessed properly, they just silenced me. Thus, I agree with the shock felt by Michaels. The trouble is, this kind of scientific fraud is rife throughout all the sciences, both physical and social.

A Plain Admission of Guilt

On November 20th, the director of East Anglia University CRU, Phil Jones, openly admitted that the material found by hackers was genuine:

“The director of Britain’s leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told investigative magazine’s TGIF Edition tonight: ‘It was a hijacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago, that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails’.”

This is an open admission by Jones, who thus admits fully that his system was hacked and that what was contained in the ‘leaked’ material was true! He did not attempt to deny what the contents of 1072 emails and 72 documents were about. Andrew Bolt says of this fact that is was “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.” If you want details of the email contents go to the Herald Sun (Australia) website, blogs.news.com.au dated Friday 20th November, ‘Warmist Conspiracy Exposed?’ Do it before the sources are blocked. Since this bombshell was given out by whoever the hacker is, the news has spread like wildfire around the world, but mainly through websites and blogs. As some have said, the internet is currently the only medium free of censorship. This is why Obama is adamant about putting a stop to its freedom of information. And it is why Jones has, apparently, managed to silence some internet sources who allow information about his frauds to circulate. A blogger who downloaded all the hacked files saw one email by IPCC lead-author, Kevin Trenberth. The subject was how to explain away the past ten years of global cooling when the ‘experts’ all chorused there was global warming, even to the point of making such absurd comments as “The cooling is caused by global warming!” Even an idiot can see through that one, yet, against all odds, it has maintained its absurd hold. The email, issued just last month, was sent to a number of scientists, including the infamous Michael Mann. The file number of the email is 1255553034. It was sent by ‘Tom’ to ‘Gavin’ and said “I just think that you need to be upfront with uncertainties and the possibility of compensating errors.” Gavin Schmidt replied, basically, that the models used did not match the actual data… because they were not capable of doing so. Michael Mann admitted that the findings used by Schmidt were capable of deception. This was confirmed by another response to the email, this time by Tom Wigley, who bluntly said “The figure you sent is very deceptive.” He also said (in response to something sent to him by Michael Mann): “there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and the IPCC.” And so the emails go on and on, the scientists themselves dropping themselves deeper in the mire of their own falsehoods.

Put ‘Em in Jail!

Lubos Motl Pilsen of the Czech Republic hints that maybe the supposed Russian ‘hacker’ was not a hacker at all, but an internal whistleblower. This would not surprise me; there are still some honest folks around, even in science. If you want a large number of files from this source, go to motis.blogspot.com for Friday November 20th. In the Blogspot the files were ‘confirmed to be genuine’ as I have already shown above. I agree that to write a huge amount of material pretending to be real is not really an answer – not for 156 MB of information. But, greenies will latch on to any old rubbish to keep their public face. One document highlighted by Otis is ‘TheRulesOfTheGame.pdf’. This is a centralised bit of pro-warming propaganda used by our scheming friends. It lists 20 ways to discredit opposers of warming. One correspondent asked me if there was some kind of agenda to discredit people like me and other anti-warmists. Well there are many, but this one is used by Jones and his wondrous scientific frauds. Steve McIntyre, who received and sent some of the alleged emails agrees that all those attributed to him are genuine. The emails contain evidence that some scientists even advocate tax evasion so as to rake in huge amounts of funding for their ‘work’ and to keep the deception going.

Jones’ Deceptions

I have spoken before about the inadvisability of mixing actual and proxy temperature measurements, because only ‘like-with-like’ measurements (or any other data) are viable and legitimate. Some of the proxy measurements include tree rings and satellite data. In particular tree rings of one tree were preferred over those of a larger section of rings from a tree that did not manage to support the pro-warming findings! There are a number of problems with using satellite measurements, too – such as each full sweep of the earth is accompanied by a degeneration in the satellite’s orbital height! There are other problems. Anyway, Jones sent an email (Nov 1999) to Mann et al, saying:

“Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s (Ed. Michael Mann) trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years… and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline…”

Another tree-ring scientist, Gary Funkhouser, in an email to ‘Keith’, thought it was funny how he managed to deceive by fiddling data: “I pulled every trick out of my sleeve trying to milk something out of that” and “I don’t think it would be productive to try and juggle the chronology statistics any more than I already have.” Phil Jones, in another email, admits that money drives his agenda. He said:

“If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences. This isn’t being political, it is being selfish.”

Well, regardless of the consequences, and whether a hacker or insider revealed all, Jones must now face the consequences. And I sincerely hope he does. He is costing the world trillions in useless financing, and global damage to peoples and politics. Which is why one scientist demands that he be jailed! Well it is fraud, and he is raking in huge sums of funding for himself and his department, a lot of it from government. Greenies have tried to discredit warming deniers for years, saying they are being paid by oil companies. Yet, the emails prove that it is the pro-warmers who are being paid… by Esso, via what is nicely called ”constructive dialogue”. Or, as accountants would put it: “Cooking the books”. The evidences pile up like bodies on a battle-field. Look at them for yourselves. If the world doesn’t pick this one up and run hard with it, demanding a stop to all pro-greenie policies and laws, and stopping funding to these frauds, then they deserve everything they get! Do not be surprised now if Jones announces that ‘someone’ has destroyed all his files! The idea has already been mooted, and Jones is, by now, desperate for some kind of good news to stop him becoming the crying clown of the science world. We must not let him get away with it. Nor all the others who play around so joyfully with funding and false claims. They must now know what it is like to be mown down by the intellectual dump truck! They have been marginalizing and humiliating genuine scientists for years. Now it is payback time… I hope. If there is no payback, everything will soon return to normal, believe me. That is what people are like. And it is what frauds are very good at – wriggling out of their mess and creating a brand new scenario. Don’t let them do it. If everyone who reads this article writes to their Congressman or other government leaders, and to the media, we might get somewhere. Life won’t be worth living if you don’t.
