#1 ClimateGate: Is Climate Change a Con?... Emails show scientists massaged figures - part 1 of 4

part 1 0f 4 - The director of a climate research unit is at the centre of a row over manipulating data on global warming after hundreds of private emails ( http://www.eastangliaemails.com/index.php ) were stolen by hackers.
The material was taken from servers at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, a world-renowned research centre, before it was published on websites run by climate change sceptic. In one email seized upon by sceptics, Prof Jones referred to a 'trick' being employed to massage temperature statistics to 'hide the decline'.
George Monbiot, a leading environmentalist, said Phil Jones should resign from the Climatic Research Unit over leaked emails that appear to show researchers suppressed scientific data.
More emails came to light yesterday, including one in which an American climatologist admitted it was a travesty that scientists could not explain a lack of global warming in recent years.
In another note, UK researchers dismissed the work of scientists challenging global warming as 'crap'.
Another appeared to call for pressure on the BBC after a reporter suggested that evidence for rising temperatures since 2001 was thin.
In one of the most damning messages, Professor Jones appeared to respond to the death of a climate sceptic with the words 'in an odd way this is cheering news!'.
The leak has been a huge embarrassment to the climate unit at the University of East Anglia, which is a global leader in its field. The emails appear to show researchers manipulating raw data and discussing how to dodge Freedom of Information requests.
Yesterday, Mr Monbiot, who writes on green issues, said the emails could scarcely be more damaging.'I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I'm dismayed and deeply shaken,' he said. 'There are some messages that require no spin to make them look bad.
'There appears to be evidence of attempts to prevent scientific data from being released, and even to destroy material that was subject to a Freedom of Information request.
'Worse still, some of the emails suggest efforts to prevent the publication of work by climate sceptics, or to keep it out of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

world class experts being paid off by the goverments to infringe green tax upon the population

[wiz9496]

Now we're supposed to ignore the cooler years? This so-called science is a joke. Anything that supports their claims, they keep. Anything that runs contrary, they bury it. It sounds more like politics.

This is a totally biased news piece. There is no mention of removal of sovereignty or real economic ramifications. The news media seem to be totally complacent in this fraud.

This has become a lot worse than we ever thought it could, and "Professor Bob Carter" shows us why.

Independance investigation will still be bias just like the 911 commisions investigation commities.

The Globalist start their spin already!

[LeeKwangEng]

Not the scientist in questions.

Its the globalist!

Becareful we do not fall into the other end of spectrum! That is, they will try to put into a false impression that all environment scientist have their agenda.

So Just becareful! Human still hurting the earth, and we still have to stop producing unneccessary and we still need to recycle!

But the ultimate aim should not be using carbon tax! or So call Carbon Credit!

These are the most despicable hijack of the scientist!
