I knew the AGW cult would crack open under serious scrutiny, but this is stunning even to me: Nothing about the revelations surprises me. I have maintained email correspondence with most of these scientists for many years, and I know several personally. I long ago realized that they were faking the whole exercise. When you […]

Now I am convinced we need to spend trillions of dollars on CO2: Global warming is giving French vintners a new potential headache: In a few years, champagne could be going head-to-head with British bubbly. A leading organization in France’s fabled wine industry sounded the alarm Friday about the ill-effects of rising temperatures on the […]

I am honored by the recognition I received this week from my old pals on the Watcher’s Council! And a special thanks to BookWorm for submitting my post on the CRU cover up as a candidate.

I have been of the opinion the ‘hackers’ at CRU were insiders fed up with the direction of CRU. There are many candidates seen in the emails who were trying to do the right thing (fix code, address outside comments, produce a better conclusion) who would seem to be great candidates. The CRU Climategate data […]

Well, this should be interesting, if possibly useless: But a spokesperson said information about the investigation into the hack at UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) would be made public very soon. Scientists will be scrutinising the choice of chair and the terms of reference. One senior climate scientist told me that the chair would have […]

If peer review was so great with AGW then the mistake Michael Mann made in his chronology, noted my Steve McIntyre, would have been corrected. It has not been, according to WUWT and the review of Mann’s latest AGW report.  What is really mind boggling is that the CRU emails clearly show the alarmists agreed […]

I am beginning to feel confident that what will come out of Climategate is those who tried to control the scientific debate will be hauled up to explain themselves and be run out of town, their credibility ruined, while skeptic and alarmists will sit down and work together to unravel the complex nature of this […]

It seems the powers that be in the UK wanted CRU to produce a rebuttal by data – except their code and data is messed up they could not make the call to arms: CRU asked to prepare data for a pre-emptive release in past couple of days but trouble reconciling issues between data bases […]

Smoking Gun Update Below The real scientific process is to present a hypotheses (along with experimental data and algorithms and codes) to the community (doesn’t have to be hand picked by a science journal) for scrutiny and debate. The community will give the hypothesis a determination if it is feasible (but not fact, that takes […]
