After new leak, climatologist takes case to public (AP)

This is a Dec. 10, 2009 file photo showing the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. East Anglia, where stolen emails caused a global climate science controversy in 2009 says those behind the breach have apparently released a second and potentially far larger batch of old messages. University of East Anglia spokesman Simon Dunford said that while academics didn't have the chance yet to examine the roughly 5,000 emails apparently dumped into the public domain Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011 a small sample examined by the university "appears to be genuine." (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth, File)

(AP) -- The British climatologist ensnared in a new email leak has taken his case to the press, arguing that he and his colleagues' comments have again been taken out of context.

Phil Jones, the director of research at the University of East Anglia's , was a major player in the controversy that erupted two years ago over the publication of emails that caught prominent scientists stonewalling skeptics and attacking opponents in vitriolic terms.

A new leak that appeared Tuesday has threatened to cause similar ahead of climate change talks in South Africa. Jones and his university met journalists to try to defuse any negative press.

Jones said Wednesday the emails were again being "cherry-picked" and explained away many of the messages.

Phil Jones must needs to read 'Converging and diverging views' in Jaynes' Probability Theory on Bayesian Inference. Then he would know that his credibility is absent, never to be recovered, and his every utterance further damages his case.

Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude that a benevolent Higher Power still controls the universe.

That is the central message in the latest update on "The Deep Roots of the Climate Scandal (1971-2011)"

http://dl.dropbox...reer.pdf

The current demise of society was apparently triggered by fear when the world faced the threat of mutual nuclear annihilation in 1962, after first witnessing the great destructive force of the nuclear explosion that vaporized Hiroshima in 1945.

Unaware of new findings that would show the same nuclear force that powered the bomb also generated our elements, gave birth to the Solar System 5 Gyr ago, and now sustains life on Earth, world leaders apparently agreed in ~1971 to use global climate change as the "common enemy" to "save the world."

The updated version of the roots of Climategate will be posted as soon as a European friend makes certain the links work on the pdf file. Until then, I can send a Word.doc on request

Title: "Fear-Based Climate Scandal Caused Society's Demise"

Concluding paragraphs: I regret the need to confront the AGW dogma with experimental observations that were ignored for an imagined greater good: To avoid the threat of mutual nuclear annihilation [7]. However as former President Eisenhower warned [5] and the life of Madam Curie [56] showed, government deception and personal freedoms are incompatible.

Now we must work together to help leaders of nations and scientific organizations accept their total powerlessness over the forces that power our stormy Sun and sustain our lives, restore integrity to science, promote world peace, avoid a return to divisive nationalism, and restore the personal freedoms guaranteed to citizens by their respective national governments, e.g., the 1776 USA Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, . . ."

That's an awful lot of dishonesty out there. Seems to be tied to funding and/or politics. Wouldn't it just be so much easier if world governments could just advise their citizens to not pollute the air, water, any part of the environment. Same with corporations. Tell them to use environment-friendly materials. Got to admit though, it does seem suspicious when money has to be exchanged from western societies to the third world countries, all because the west consumes so much more of everything. The west also PRODUCES most everything. But why should that "carbon footprint" money be given to others when it can be better spent in the country that is doing the polluting? To alleviate the problems, that is.

How should we deal with flaws inside the climate community? I think, that our reaction on the errors found in Mike Manns work were not especially honest.
After the publication of the latest IPCC, the media wrote a vast

It certainly cannot be for economic growth and prosperity. Every action to date by the govt has been to kill energy production and put millions of people out of work.

Last year, Phil was ranked one of Englands top 100 scientists. Just imagine the ranking that he could have achieved if he knew how to calculate a trend by himself.

Bob Ward: NOAA made the following statement in its report on the 2006 data:

"However, uncertainties in the global calculations due largely to gaps in data coverage make 2006 statistically indistinguishable from 2005 and several other recent warm years as shown by the error bars on the [1]global time series."

Update: Transparency and openness appear to be the leitmotiv for climate scientists embroiled in Climategate.
One of the climate scientists affected by the email releases has spoken out today. Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia has been repeatedly hassled over claims that he deleted emails relating to freedom of information requests from climate sceptics. This morning, he again admitted deleting many emails, but said as he has said many times before that this was part of routine clear-outs of his inbox.
Guardian 2009: Jones accepted, though, that the contents of some of the emails were cause for embarrassment: "Some of the emails probably had poorly chosen words and were sent in the heat of the moment, when I was frustrated. I do regret sending some of them. We've not deleted any emails or data here at CRU. I would never manipulate the data one bit - I would categorically deny that."

Which is to be expected. Carbon credits are handed out by the government to the industry (for free). Due to the recession a lot more was handed out than was needed. So the companies are doing one of two things:

1) Sell off credits to make a quick buck
2) Hoard credits for future use (when allotments go down or when production picks up again) so that they don't have to invest in more efficient technologies.

We just had a report where it was estimated that 800 million Euros worth of carbon credits given (for free!) to the industry aren't being used but being converted to cash or hoarded in germany alone. How's that for a hidden subsidy?

"When you reconstruct sea and land surface temperatures from the peak of the last ice age 21,000 years ago -- which is referred to as the Last Glacial Maximum -- and compare it with climate model simulations of that period, you get a much different picture," said lead author Andreas Schmittner, an Oregon State University researcher.

"If these paleoclimatic constraints apply to the future, as predicted by our model, the results imply less probability of extreme climatic change than previously thought."

Schmittner noted that many previous studies only looked at periods spanning from 1850 to today, thus not taking into account a fully integrated paleoclimate date on a global scale.

Yes I cherry picked a little but then the AGW crowd have done that since 1968. BUT they never admitted the above. This is one small step for man & a giant leap for warmists. -Congratulations Vendi!

Yup, a study based on a single Global Climate Model that is known to underestimate Northern warming and hence underestimate Northern Cooling as a result of removing CO2 and hence underestimate the effects of CO2 during the peak of the last ice age.

The other models will produce higher CO2 sensitivities.

Current best estimates are 3'C - 1'C (roughly) for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, and then twice that for stabilization.

The land surface of the earth was mostly a desert the last time the earth's climate was 6'C warmer than today.

Climate forecasts 'exaggerated': Science journal

by: Amos Aikman
From: The Australian
November 25, 2011
DRAMATIC forecasts of global warming resulting from a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide have been exaggerated, according to a peer-reviewed study by a team of international researchers.

In the study, published today in the leading journal Science, the researchers found that while rising levels of CO2 would cause climate change, the most severe predictions - some of which were adopted by the UN's peak climate body in its seminal 2007 report - had been significantly overstated.

The vast majority of Canada's debt was created by Conservative Brian Mulroney as he mirrored Reagan's Borrow and Spend policies.

The Borrow and Spend Conservative Government of Brian Mulroney took Canada's debt from 200 billion and ran it up to 600 billion in just 8 years.

It took the Liberals 4 years to get spending under control after that and at that point they reduced the Canadian Deficit from 729 billion to 520 billion.

Vendi.
In 1980 the cost of borrowing world wide was at an all time high of 21.50% this caused a huge worldwide down turn in the markets and on the governments ability to finance or borrow money

Conservatives 1984 to 1993.
In 1984 Mulroney's Conservatives inherited the fixed and escalating cost of projects and Liberal borrowing and setting up of wasteful Crown corporations that automatically had escalator clauses in them. The Conservatives took over at a bad time for the Canadian and worlds economies with lingering effects of sky-high borrowing and the fixed cost of doing government. The money borrowed by the Liberals was growing a much greater rate because of sky high prime interest could NOT be paid therefore destroying any ability to pay back or reduce an ever growing debt which was due to mainly ever increasing interest rates on the debt.

and not due so much to fresh spending.
Therefore destroying any ability to pay back or reduce an ever-growing debt due to mainly interest rates
Mulroney did away with most of the wasteful departments and Crown corporations but was fought by a Liberal stacked Senate that delayed and vetoed many bills sent to them.
Then Trudeau Liberals disaster crown corp. the Canadian Energy Program that virtually bankrupted Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan (All resource rich western provinces) it took 20 years for their economys to turn around from that fiasco. Today they are the Powerhouses of the Canadian Economy The Quebec, Ontario based Liberals effectively wage financial war on them.
It took the Liberals 4 years to get spending under control after that and at that point they reduced the Canadian Deficit from 729 billion to 520 billion. (But it took the population 10 more years to recover their buying purchasing back and many have never recovered in the way of comparable wages) Cont..

By further slashing failed Liberal programs turning the debt and liability over to the Providences reducing transfer payments to a trickle, increasing taxs and fees reducing the value of the Canadian dollar to 59 cents.
Yes this WAS necessary and a hard miserable time for Canadians, but should have never been need had the Liberals maintained a small fiscally prudent government in the first place. And thank you PM Pierre Eliot Trudeau for you wacky and hurtful experiment in deficits, big spending and top down governments, Canada would be so much further ahead without your insanity.
Funny enough shrinking government size is now becoming a necessity with most governments that are seeing the light!

I could have told them that when I was I grade 2.
Sad new Vendi, I really have enjoy or chit chats but I'm flying out to China on business. I will to try to keep up with the news and COP 17 and our somewhat strained relationship.
