Annotated Global Fraud

George Rebane

Britains’s Climate Research Unit hack, noted here and elsewhere on the blogs, is beginning to unravel the position of the True Believers more and more.  Anthony Watts (Watts Up With That) published the latest discoveries from the ‘global warming software’ that was made public against the years’ long efforts of the ‘scientists’ involved.  The short version is that they used their programs to generate crap.

There are three distinct groups involved here – 1) scumbag ‘scientists’, 2) True Believers, 3) sleazebag politicians.  Groups 2 and 3 are ignorant of earth’s climatology and climate modeling.  I grant that Group 2 probably consists of good-hearted, well-meaning people concerned about humanity, but they possess neither the knowledge nor the tools to understand how the AGW issue is framed, let alone proved.  They just listen to Groups 1 and 3, and then join the damaging background chorus.  Group 3 doesn’t really care about the science or humanity.  For them it is all about power and control, starting with maintaining and/or advancing their own political careers.  These pols are mostly composed of but not limited to progressives and collectivists.

And then there’s Group 1.  These guys have degrees, published papers, and positions that give cover to Groups 2 and 3.  They consist of technical types who don’t know what they don’t know and prattle on, and then the real scumbags are the ones who know what they don’t know and do ‘science’ with the intent to defraud – i.e. cook up pre-ordained results.

Since scientists are not saints, the way science stays on the straight and narrow is through merciless peer review.  Scientists make their bones by not only inventing new and better descriptions of how the world works, but also by deflating previous descriptions (theories) that everyone thought were true.  When you do your science under a fog bank, then warning bells should and do go off in the science community.  They should also go off in the rest of society, but often don’t.

Climate science that supports anthropogenic global warming has been done under wraps for some years now – ever since we switched from the ‘global cooling’ alarums of the 1970s to ‘just kidding, it’s really global warming’ that started in the 1980s.  In the 1990s leftwing politicians seized on AGW as the perfect storm for expanding state control and globalization.  From there on it was all political, and it switched into high gear with the patently fraudulent UN sponsored IPCC report picked up by self-serving shills like Al ‘The Debate is Over’ Gore.

As described in great detail elsewhere, it seems that the annotated temperature analysis code was blatantly doctored to insert bad data so the rising temperature hockey stick could be generated to serve as the world’s easy-to-understand poster child of global warming.  For years a whole cohort of reputable scientists have been pointing out the errors in the IPCC report, the bad climate science, and the heretofore hidden computer models that, we have been told, foretell all those future disasters.

Now before we all go and start popping corks to celebrate the demise of Waxman-Markey (cap and tax) and California's draconian AB32 legislation, some more sobering reality enters into this mix.  No matter the verity of the fraudulent code, the political machine is still under full steam to assault America’s sovereignty and economic viability.  The Copenhagen fiasco is still scheduled to come off in December with unknown deals that Obama has made with other like-minded world leaders.  And none of the political types (Group 3 above) can stand to show the egg on their face in public.  They will do all that is necessary to submerge this revelation and hide truth - remember ‘The Debate is Over’.  And the leftwing media will work hand in glove to make sure that as little as possible of this will see the light of day.

It will be up to individual informed citizens in large numbers calling/writing to their electeds to report these findings and slow down the madness.

George,

Agreed! We need to keep the pressure on our Group 3 political leaders. I have provided a list of links to California Leaders on NC Media Watch. In the mean time, I have been forwarding CRU revelations to California Assemblyman Dan Logue, who is seeking to reverse AB32 and reduce the environmental regulatory impact on local business. I have also included Congressman McClintock's staff on the distribution. More voices my help get the message across, but I have serious doubt that Sen. Barbara Boxer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein will pay any attention, but those running against Boxer in 2010 may pay attention. Carly Fiorina former HP CEO is running for Boxer's seat.

Be aware, Bay area folks are TRUE believers in AGW. It will take a brick in the face to get them to let loose of this.
An upcoming election and an informed person to run against Boxer or Feinstein may do the trick, but the opponent will have to be polished to pull it off.
Keep up the good work George. I'm so happy to see some movement on this.

George, let me know if you're prepared to stand behind your writing, and I'll dig into this. (explanation)

Otherwise, factchecking your assertions stays in the "low priority" queue.

[Anna Haynes]

Also, do you know if Anthony Watts a) attended Purdue, as he's claimed, and b) graduated? He's unwilling to speak with me about it.

[George Rebane]

Anna, the doctored code and selective use of data are not MY assertions, they now belong to the world. I fear that debating anything with you as a True Believer is equivalent to getting into a land war in Asia. Past debates have wound up our just talking past each other. But I do recommend that, given this news, the first step would be to debunk the CRU hack. Otherwise, keep me in the low priority que (sic).

Anthony Watts speaks for himself.

First we have rebels waltz into ACORN and... now we have hackers surf into Britains’s Climate Research Unit... what is next? Are these acts similar to throwing tea into the harbor?

For those in groups 1,2, or 3:

Actually, the latest on WUWT by moderator Charles is probably the best explanation of what actually happened- no hacker needed, nor a mole, just butt-lazy incompetent "scientists." Highly likely the whole thing was triggered by Steve MacIntyre's FOI request. Go read it, it's lots of fun and there will be no 'debunking' of the CRU hack. Looks like the idiots just left the information lying around where it could be picked up.

Anna, get a life.

> Anna, the doctored code and selective use of data are not MY assertions

But you're repeating them, which indicates that you think they're . Let me know when you're willing to stand behind what you're writing, and I'll address it.
(meanwhile, folks, check the blog posts at warming101.com, where others have been doing so)

[Anna Haynes]

Oops, no preview button. From my above comment, "which indicates that you think they're"
...obviating the existence and threat of climate change.
They're not. Anyone who says they are either doesn't know better, or is someone who couldn't care less about their kids' (and yours') welfare. Not savory.

Anna , they made it all up - its whats known as a Fairy Tale. Fairy Tales are good stories granted, just not true, I will say they did a good job and I don't blame some people for believing them - but there is proof now it was just a Fairy Tale
