The A.P. is reporting that the director of the prestigious U.K. Hadley Climate Research Unit will step down during an investigation into allegations that he and his colleagues for years slanted climate research toward man-made greenhouse gases as the central cause of global warming. Initial reviews of the hacked files reveal world-renowned climate scientists conspiring to manipulate computer climate modeling data, terminology and research reports to promote the theories of global warming.
Hadley officials say that Unit head Phil Jones will be suspended from his chief
researcher’s position pending completion of an independent review of his involvement in altering the way in which global temperature data were presented.
The allegations are based upon recently released decades-long correspondence between leading U.K. and U.S. climate scientists. Thousands of e-mails revealed evidence of climate scientists’:
· Manipulation of scientific data;
· Concealing private doubts about global warming;
· Suppression of evidence;
· Contemplating revenge against prominent climate skeptics;
· Attempting to disguise the pre-industrial Medieval Warm Period;
· Scheming to marginalize dissenting scientists out of the peer review process.
If true, this climate research manipulation could be the biggest scientific and political fraud in the history of mankind.
