Climate-Gate Zealot Continues Three-Ring Circus

Climate Fraud: In an attempt to defend his role in the greatest scam of modern times, Climate-gate's poster child threatens to defend his tarnished reputation in court. First, hide the decline, then hide the deceit.

'Get lost" was National Review editor Rich Lowry's appropriate response to a threatened lawsuit by Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann.

NR printed a post by the great Mark Steyn, who graces these pages as well, calling Mann's famous hockey-stick graph "fraudulent." That it is indeed a fraud has been documented by many, including us.

Mann was at the heart of the Climate-gate scandal in 2009, when emails were unearthed from Britain's Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia. In one email sent to Mann and others, CRU director Philip Jones speaks of the "trick" of filling in gaps of data in order to hide evidence of temperature decline:

#1 Oh please, please sue!!! Discovery will be a bitch. Can you see the responses from his co-conspirators to that process?

As to "hide the decline" IIRC that was related to the decline in the correlation between the proxy tree ring data and the real thermometer data as of ~1950 on. Basically the proxy was proving to be much less of an indicator than they were showing.

So, rather than rework the flawed methodology they fudged the data.

#2 Better yet, the NR could crowd-source the discovery process. Get people to write in suggesting questions, offering ideas on discovery, looking at links, etc. Sure, a lot of noise but think of the fun we'd all have!

#3 Please sue and try to prove it isn't a fraud. We would love to see your work.

#5 I agree wid #1 - in this age of "Globalism" + OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order, LITIGATION may become the only non-violent thing/process that forces sectarian US-World Govts-Perts to come into common consensus about GWCC = Solar activities, Resources, etc.... + effective UNIVERSAL responses thereto.

Lest we fergit, e.g. COMET APOPHIS + GUAM, EARTH-VISIBLE MOON EXPLOSIONS > as things stand, our mighty future Space Defense agz same is second-fiddle or tertiary to seeing iff desired OWG-NWO + EURO-UNION will break up or not due to Debt + Econ crisis, I.E. NO ONE - SOCIETY OR GOVT - WANTING TO PAY FOR SOMEONE(S) ELSE'S DEBTS OR LIABILITIES.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSS ...THE MIGHTY HOMER SIMPSONIAN "DOH"! HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.

Remember, as of 2012 the seriously troubled EU is the only one of the desired or proposed OWG "Global Unions/Global Federal Unions" thats actually formally up-n-running.

NAU in 2015 or shortly thereafter, versus the NOT-AZTLAN Obama-induced? "Second US Civil War" in 2013???
