#2 How about a moritorium on secret data?

#3 How about a moratorium on research grants, we're broke.

#4 They missed out the illegal actions of conspiring to prevent the working of the Freedom of Information Act.

They're frauds and belong in jail.

#5 Until ALL the raw data and source code for the climate models are released and independently verified, we should assume that all the conclusions of the researchers are invalid.

#6 And publish the names of *ALL* the frauds involved. From the lowest all the way up to Al Gore.

Hold them up to public ridicule.

#7 Rantburg posting - Climate Data Dumped

Since the data was dumped in the 1980s "a life's work" there is nothing solid to talk about, this fraud runs decades !

#8 Also, lets not assume anything was "hacked". It is more likely that a folder of information that was collected for use in FOI requests was stored in such a way that it was accessible by people who were not intended to have that access. It is more likely that nothing was "hacked" at all and someone simply grabbed a copy of it without any circumventing of security measures.

#9 This keeps getting funnier by the day. To ensure no questions can be asked they throw out the scientific data? I think we used to call these people snake oil salesmen, huckters, or just plain crooks.

#10 This keeps getting funnier by the day.

Well yes and no. There is a lot of frustration out in the real world by plain folks who, despite the media embargo, are realizing they have been lied to, misled, and ignored.

Many of the "green" programs driven by the global warming hysteria are now starting to emerge at the local community level.

My rural community is faced with the expedited installation of large wind turbines. All the municipal planning reviews, and voice have been replaced with fast track environmental reviews designed by the turbine developers and approved by the energy ministry. We are expected to embrace the opportunity to do our part, health and property values be damned.

The policies that drive these projects are beyond climategate at this point. Yet these revelations are fueling a groundswell of community opposition to government arrogance, and not just frustration and anger, but a whisper to whisper undercurrent of violence.

If you take away peoples' right to be heard, hide the decline, they may take matters into their own hands, and that is not so funny any more.
