Mann-Bear-Pig… “Hockey Stick” Creator Michael Mann Implicated in Global Warming Conspiracy
Gateway Pundit —
... document conspiracy.
Mann’s controversial work has been challenged in the past.
Dr. Mann was implicated in the global warming email conspiracy. His name came up in several of the emails. It was reported on several websites today that classified emails and files prove that the junk scientists behind the global warming movement knowingly perpetrated a fraud on the global community.
Dr. Mann was questioned later in the day and he spoke out about the documents and emails:

This information has been obtained and published without our permission and we took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation.” There were tantalizing hints that the leak was inside job. “We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and we have involved the police in this enquiry.” The Guardian quotes Bob Ward, director of policy and communications at the Grantham Research Institute ...

Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it."In one email, dated November 1999, one scientist wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."Read more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/20/clima...

I Read Through 160,000,000 Bytes of Hacked Files And All I Got Was This Lousy E-Mail
FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right —
... Apparently, the networks of University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit were hacked into last night, apparently by a team of Russians who deemed their data too important to be kept private. Approximately 160 megabytes of files, containing hundreds or thousands of e-mails and documents were leaked as a result of the security breach, reports The Guardian. ...

The big media is covering it, and, in some cases, trying to spin it away, as the NY Times tries , along with the Guardian .

How The Science Gets Settled -- By: Mark Steyn
The Corner on National Review Online —
It all depends on how you look at it. From The Boston Herald:
In an embarrassing blow to the movement to combat global warming, hackers have posted hundreds of e-mails from a world-renowned British institute that show researchers colluding to exaggerate warming and undermine skeptics.
From The Guardian:
The alleged emails illustrate the persistent pressure some climatologists have been under from sceptics in recent years.
Yes, it's awfully stressful having to develop models to "hide the ...

Best Idea of the Day: Climate Change Futures Markets
FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right —
George Mason University economist Robin Hanson makes two important points in response to the controversy over the hacked e-mails at the University of East Anglia's, which triggered a self-congratulatory (over)reaction among global warming skeptics. Robin's first point is that the apparent bad behavior among the academic scientists is really nothing more and nothing less than you might expect if you'd unearthed ten years' worth of e-mails from virtually any academic department at virtually any academic institution in the world. I'm not an academic myself, but I ...
Global Warming Rigged? Here's the Email I'd Need to See

It's no use pretending this isn't a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I'm dismayed and deeply shaken by them. Yes, the messages were obtained illegally. Yes, all of us say things in emails that would be excruciating if made public. Yes, some of the comments have been taken out of context. But there are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad. There appears to be evidence here of attempts to prevent ...

Huffington Post Suffers ClimateGate Panic Attack
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... Skeptics have been pointing to an email from scientist Phil Jones where he said he used a "trick" with his data. As climate expert Bob Ward writes, "Scientists say 'trick' not just to mean deception. They mean it as a clever way of doing something -- a short cut can be a trick." RealClimate also explained that "the 'trick' is just to plot the instrumental records along with reconstruction so that the context of the recent warming is clear. Scientists often use the term 'trick' to refer to ... 'a good way to deal with a problem', rather than something ...
Climate Science: Inconvenient Truths
RealClearPolitics - Homepage —
Blinded or at least baffled by science, the uninitiated majority imagine it as the sort of impersonal process a robot might carry out. Days before the Copenhagen climate conference – where scientific reasoning will make strenuous demands on everyday life – we have all been reminded that the frontiers of technical knowledge are not in fact advanced by automatons, but by fallible human beings. The emails hacked out of East Anglia University's Climatic Research Unit did not undermine the evidence that mankind is remaking the weather, but some of those who uncover the facts have ...
The GOP and "Questionable" Science
TPMCafe —
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) continues to isolate itself from the overwhelming opinion of American Jewry and 22 major Jewish communal organizations with its recent promotion of climate change conspiracy theories. RJC published not one but two blog posts citing the debunked right-wing mythology surrounding a number of leaked emails - also known as "Climategate." They claim that the emails prove that fighting climate change is, in RJC's own words, "just plain old politics."
In a post on RJC's blog, Matthew ...

But in an article with a number of strange assertions, calling for a dependence on "sound science" -- when the scientific consensus is that human activity does indeed contribute to global climate change -- struck me as probably the strangest. Palin points to leaked e-mail exchanges that climate change skeptics have seized on as evidence for their complaints, in which scientists at the University of East Anglia discuss ways to present the data and statistics in their climate studies and mock global warming skeptics. Of course, among ...

It now seems that much of the data they used is worthless and the documents required to validate it do not exist. The paper might be 20 years old, but in a way that makes the scandal worse: Phil Jones has had 20 years in which to issue a correction. Even after the hacking in October last year, he has still not done so.
When the emails were first published in November, I called for Professor Jones’s ...
