Climategate: The Unraveling In Six Developments



Dec 3, 2009 12 Comments ›› Erik Wong

Telegraph:

So many new developments: which story do we pick? Maybe best to summarise, instead. After all, it’s not like you’re going to find much of this reported in the MSM.

1. Australia’s Senate rejects Emissions Trading Scheme for a second time. Or: so turkeys don’t vote Christmas. Expect to see a lot more of this: politicians starting to become aware their party’s position on AGW is completely out of kilter with the public mood and economic reality. Kevin Rudd’s Emissions Trading Scheme – what Andrew Bolt calls “a $114 billion green tax on everything” – would have wreaked havoc on the coal-dependent Australian economy. That’s why several opposition Liberal frontbenchers resigned rather than vote with the Government on ETS; why Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull lost his job; and why the Senate voted down the ETS.

2. Danes caught fiddling their carbon credits. (Hat tip: Philip Stott) Carbon trading is the Emperor’s New Clothes of international finance. It was invented by none other than Ken Lay, whose Enron would currently be one of the prime beneficiaries in the global alternative energy market, if it hadn’t been shown to be (nearly) as fraudulent as the current AGW scam. It is a licence to fleece, cheat and rob. Still, jolly embarrassing for the Danes to get caught red handed, what with their hosting a conference shortly in which the world’s leaders will try, straight-faced, to persuade us that carbon emissions trading is the only viable way of defeating ManBearPig.

3. Hats off to The Daily Express – the first British newspaper to make the AGW scam its front page story.

express

The piece was inspired by another bravura performance by Professor Ian Plimer, the Aussie geologist who argues that climate change has been going on quite naturally, oblivious of human activity, for the last 4,567 million years.

4. BBC finally gets round to reporting – sort of – that Climatic Research Unit at University of East Anglia may have been up to no good. It’s true that this report on their website is so hedged with special pleading for the temporarily suspended director Phil Jones the man might have written it himself. But on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning, I did hear the newsreader reporting it as more than just a routine theft story. Which is a start.

5. Legal actions ahoy! Over the next few weeks, one thing we can be absolutely certain of is concerted efforts by the rich, powerful and influential AGW lobby to squash the Climategate story. We’ve seen this already in the “nothing to see here” response of Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the jet-setting, troll-impersonating railway engineer who runs the IPCC and wants to stop ice being served with water in restaurants. This is why those of us who oppose his scheme to carbon-tax the global economy back to the dark ages must do everything in our power to bring the scandal to a wider audience. One way to do this is law suits.

At Ian Plimer’s lunch talk yesterday, Viscount Monckton talked of at least two in the offing – both by scientists, one British, one Canadian, who intend to pursue the CRU for criminal fraud. Their case, quite simply, is that the scientists implicated in Climategate have gained funding and career advancement by twisting data, hiding evidence, and shutting out dissenters by corrupting the peer-review process. More news on this, as I hear it.

Lord Monckton has written an indispensible summary of the Climategate revelations so far.

6. Watch out Green Dave! The Independent reports on the growing backlash within the party to Cameron’s libtard-wooing greenery. Turning to the Independent for a balanced report on environmental matters is a bit like consulting Der Sturmer for a sensible, insightful view on the Jewish question. Still, for once, the house journal of eco-loonery seems to have got it right and the point made by Tory backbencher David Davis is well made:

“The ferocious determination to impose hair-shirt policies on the public – taxes on holiday flights, or covering our beautiful countryside with wind turbines that look like props from War of the Worlds – is bound to cause a reaction in any democratic country.”

    Here’s the thing suckers:
    We woke up.
    We woke up screaming about the nightmare. And found the nightmare taking place right there next to our beds.
    And we’re AWAKE.
    We’re awake you scheming fucking leftist subverters of all that is good.
    We are coming for every single one of you. Without bullets, without riots, without the MSM to help us.
    You almost pulled it off, but it’ll all be over soon.
    When you’re an evil plotter, you eventually get caught.
    God makes it work that way.
    Yeah, I said G-O-D.
    God.
    Go fucking quiver.

      I disagree. It’s my belief that hangings in front of the White House are in order right now. I realize that many want to skin the politicians alive but I would add, that may be a little much, except in some cases. I’m sure people will argue over what to do with captured fools.

      At this time, I’m really surprised that the military has not put a blockade around DC. Clearly, this is treason by every Marxist, communist and socialist. It’s very clear that Obama, Frank, Reid, Pelosi, Durbin etcetcetc. have committed and are in the act of treason right now. Day after Day.

      Don’t play into their hands.
      They not only expect violence, they want it. In fact, their statements about riots and fear for the Prez’s life, it’s all bullshit. They are really hoping for some nut bar takes it to heart and tries something (they were probably bummed that the White House party crashers were actually Obama lap dogs…there goes that loophole for them…). Any violence will be an excuse for them to enact martial law and whatever else they want to try…like suspending the 2010 election.
      No, this needs to be done like they do it: Legally, educationally and bloodlessly. We need to be politically ruthless and every bit as stealthy as they are.
      They got too smug and drunk on power and revenge.
      And in that process, they energized sleeping patriots in this country. We woke and realized that we were about to lose more right here at home to domestic, leftist enemies than we could’ve lost in WW’s I and II combined.
      But you watch. If they pass socialized medicine and there’s a giant protest, they will have thugs there pushing conservatives for a fight. They will try to create a spark to ignite something. Don’t play into their hands.
      Remember: We’re smarter and more rational than they are. No need to stoop to their level. In the end our policies and beliefs are right, so they will win out over the long haul because they are based in facts and logic, not emotion and ideology.

      Our founding fathers were highly educated men who had had enough of the tyranny of their time and chose to end it with bullets rather than ballots because ballots dont matter to the crown. :gun: .

      The Revolution was a different time with different circumstances.
      The Civil War, same thing.
      In each case, the United States was on its way to the top. Now it’s at the top. It’s got everything to lose if violence turns into the choice.
      Look at a city like Detroit. The downtown has never recovered from the riots in the late 60′s.
      I lived in NY during 9/11 and the city was in chaos for a couple of months after that, business was clearly disrupted. And that was one day of tragedy. Imagine an on-going dispute. Life would change drastically and may not go back.
      We’re close to taking these people out through political means. Some of it is our doing, a lot of the job is being done by themselves, quite frankly. They’re that tone deaf and dumb.
      The tsunami will hit the polls 2010. We’ll lock down the madness and sweep back to power in 2012 when we can hopefully reverse all this and then some.

      That’s only if the 2010 elections happen. I’m betting that the Commies @ 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and E. Capitol St. NE & 1st St. NE (for the liberal trolls who view this website, those are the addresses for the White House & the US Capitol building in Washington, DC) find a way to suspend the election or discount the results through a “National Emergency” of their own making.

    GASP!
    I almost hate to use the term conspiracy (because I’m very afraid of being called a ‘ClimateGate Truther’) but is it really possible there is a conspiracy to steal our liberty and wealth at the highest levels of government?
    /dumbass

    Now I want to see Barry’s citizenship and academic records more than ever.
    Who and/or what is this cocksucker really? And where or what did He come from?

      Secret conspiracies always fall apart because one conspirator always ends up spilling the beans. Climategate will be a prime example of this phenomenon.

      As for the “conspiracy to steal our liberty and wealth at the highest levels of government”, that’s a conspiracy also, but it’s not secret, it’s right out in the open. The only concession made to secrecy is that the conspirators are not using the specific words “socialism” or “communism”. Instead, they call it “redistribution” or “health care reform” or “cap and trade”.

    • Sully

      Yeah Zen… I was being sarcastic.
      Nevertheless, this is a very real conspiracy being perpetrated upon America by Marxists.

    Nuclear Winter was invented by the KGB as an influence operation to stop Pershing II Missiles in Europe. I am confident Russian and Chinese intelligence had duped and played western governments as fools regularly. This climate crap is the tip of the iceburg to cause a lack of confidence, budgets and expenditures and industrial excess and burdens. We never seem to get it.

    Check out my blog post today!

    Al whore has backed out of his scheduled appearance in
    Copenhagen. He’s so scared he’ll be called out for the
    lying hypocrite he is, like happened in Chicago last week.
    Awesome news! Also, Members of the Oscars want to
    rescind his 2 Oscars for “an Inconvenient LIE”. Everything is imploding
    around these lying weasels.

    Rather there is a global Warming or not the Earth goes thru warming/cold cycles for billions of years! So you can cut back allll the emissions you want but the Earth is going to do what it wants to do. And we humans beings are along for the ride. So stop crying doomsday and start adapting to the Earth’s climate cycles. Of all the lifeforms on this planet the human being learned to adapt will others went extinct! I rather adapt then go extinct!
