There's a big global warming scandal breaking out across the blogosphere. Earlier I saw Der Spiegel's, "Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out."
I actually didn't pay that much attention to it, since the left's global-warming-media-industrial-complex continues to peddle lies and environmental disinformation; and frankly, President Obama's visit to China killed the prospects for the Copenhagen climate change accord.
But the news this morning is absolutely devastating. It turns out that hackers have exposed a massive conspiracy seeking to hide the scientific consensus that global warming is bunk. See, "Climategate: The Final Nail in the Coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'?" Read this whole entry, which posts the key e-mails. This one on the science community's campaign to drum out dissenters is just mind-boggling:
And, perhaps most reprehensibly, a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. How, in other words, to create a scientific climate in which anyone who disagrees with AGW can be written off as a crank, whose views do not have a scrap of authority.Also, at the conclusion of the piece:“This was the danger of always criticising the skeptics for not publishing in the “peer-reviewed literature”. Obviously, they found a solution to that–take over a journal! So what do we do about this? I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?”
“I will be emailing the journal to tell them I’m having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor.”“It results from this journal having a number of editors. The responsible one for this is a well-known skeptic in NZ. He has let a few papers through by Michaels and Gray in the past. I’ve had words with Hans von Storch about this, but got nowhere. Another thing to discuss in Nice !”
The world is currently cooling; electorates are increasingly reluctant to support eco-policies leading to more oppressive regulation, higher taxes and higher utility bills; the tide is turning against Al Gore’s Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. The so-called “sceptical” view is now also the majority view.Plus, check out Hot Air as well, "Do Hacked E-Mails Show Global-Warming Fraud?" And, Michelle Malkin's title nails it, "The Global Warming Scandal of the Century." (And Michelle reminds us, "First things first: The alleged hackers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.)
Australia's Andrew Bolt suggests the scandal "is one of the greatest in modern science."

Got all that covered here. EXPLOSIVE?
HA! I'll say!

Most excellent!
You too, M. Simon!
Douglas, a great post AND wrap up. Bravo. I am happy to link to you.
Climate Change IS A Hoax - What Else?
The AGW theory is like a fish on land.
Global Warming is Global Governance.
Say No To Both!!!
PS: Great post.

I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!
Cheers

Here are a "few" of the papers they managed to keep out,
450 Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skepticism of "Man-Made" Global Warming

AGW being a potential or (in the case of Al Gore) actual cash cow, ostensibly generating new "earth friendly" industries at the expense of the big ol' dirty oil and coal companies, it's no wonder some climate researchers might act as if they have a dog in this fight. If AGW were an actual serious phenomenon of emergency proportions, we in the United States would already be fast-tracking nuclear power plant and hydroelectric dam construction.
But no new plants are being built (Yucca Mountain has been declared dead by the Obamessiah) and we've been knocking down dams while China is building them. It's well known that alternative energy production methods are nowhere close to replacing fossil fuels yet the singing of the alternative energy choir continues unabated.
A reasonable person might wonder about the motivations of the AGW crowd.
A reasonable answer might very well be that the AGW crowd doesn't believe in AGW themselves, they just want YOU to believe, so as to maximize their standing before the politicians they seek to influence. Those politicians can then increase the considerable power they already have over our daily lives, making a few bucks in the process. A fraction of that money is then used to continue funding of the research which props up the whole scheme. After all, politics is a game of continually discovering problems solvable only by politicians.
