Climategate: Hackers may have struck the mother load

neoconnews

Emails between leading global warming researchers were hacked into and released on the Internet for all to see via Wikileaks. The emails are said to be full of corruption and manipulation exposing global warming as a giant hoax. Going green has been adopted by most large corporations in the hopes of saving money on global carbon tax credits being implemented by governments including the United States. Companies have already been set up to trade these carbon credits. They were also said to be the new derivatives market.

Climategate as it is now being called has fooled many in the media, government, and even Wall Street. The EU chief called for global governance and said the carbon credits would pay for the new global government in the name of saving the planet. In a few weeks 192 nations will be meeting in Copenhagen at the UN climate conference to sign a binding treaty that would tax their citizens for green house gases that now has been proven do not exist.

In the United States, Congress has been working on a clean energy bill for this very same thing. Carbon credits or carbon tax would make many in government very rich. Now that it has seemingly been proven to be a fraud what will happen?

In one leaked e-mail, the research center's director, Phil Jones, writes to colleagues about graphs showing climate statistics over the last millennium. He alludes to a technique used by a fellow scientist to "hide the decline" in recent global temperatures. Some evidence appears to show a halt in a rise of global temperatures from about 1960, but is contradicted by other evidence which appears to show a rise in temperatures is continuing.
Jones wrote that, in compiling new data, he had "just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline," according to a leaked e-mail, which the author confirmed was genuine.
One of the colleague referred to by Jones — Michael Mann, a professor of meteorology at Pennsylvania State University — did not immediately respond to requests for comment via telephone and e-mail.
The use of the word "trick" by Jones has been seized on by skeptics — who say his e-mail offers proof of collusion between scientists to distort evidence to support their assertion that human activity is influencing climate change.
"Words fail me," Stephen McIntyre — a blogger whose climateaudit.org Web site challenges popular thinking on climate change — wrote on the site following the leak of the messages.
However, Jones denied manipulating evidence and insisted his comment had been taken out of context. "The word 'trick' was used here colloquially, as in a clever thing to do. It is ludicrous to suggest that it refers to anything untoward," he said in a statement Saturday.
Jones did not indicate who "Keith" was in his e-mail.
Two other American scientists named in leaked e-mails — Gavin Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, and Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Colorado — did not immediately return requests for comment.
The University of East Anglica said that information published on the Internet had been selected deliberately to undermine "the strong consensus that human activity is affecting the world's climate in ways that are potentially dangerous."
"The selective publication of some stolen e-mails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way," the university said in a statement.
