A letter and appeal on Climate Change

Oh, McIntyre is in the pocket of Big Oil (tm). BWAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA :D By his background, I guess you mean when he worked for some prospecting company...what 20, 30 years ago?

Try 7 years ago.

But ask yourself this. Who stands to make more from Mann Made Global warming (tm)?

Nobody stands to gain in the long run. If nothing is done, we all lose. In the short run, Big Oil, Big Coal etc stand to gain untold billions of dollars.

Al Gore (slated to become the worlds first carbon BILLIONAIRE)

Trust me, nobody cares about Al Gore, nor does anybody ask him about climate related science. We go to climatologists for that. Not that Gore was wrong. He's just not the poster boy you need him to be.

or Steve McIntyre who most certainly will not be making Billions from Mann Made Global Warming?

While I don't doubt McIntyre is making a pretty penny telling lies about climate science, his big gain is post-retirement notoriety.

Perhaps if Jones or Biffa had released the requested data the first time (what, 10 years ago?), then McIntyre wouldnt have had to send in a few FOI requests (remembering a number of emails from Jones around HIDING data from McIntyre et al)?

Didn't you understand what I wrote? The data that could be given was always public. The rest was raw data that couldn't be given by CRU. If McIntyre wanted that data he would have to pay money for it, just like CRU did.

There were no emails from Jones telling anyone to hide data. Jones has been cleared on this by two independent inquiries. You should stop with that lie now as it has been blown apart.

Dont forget that the FOI office also found that CRU had been sadly wanting in how it managed FOI requests and only through an act of sheer good luck did no criminal or civil proceedings come out of this (because of the rediculously short period of time in the FOI act for dealing with complaints).

That's a pretty bold assertion. I trust you have evidence for this?

What he was after was the meta data, which was removed from what limited data had been released by CRU over the course of the very many years he had been chasing them.

Yes. The data that couldn't be released because it didn't belong to CRU. McIntyre could still get that data, but he would have to pay the people who owned the data.

In fact, it wasnt until one of those learned scientific journals actually ENFORCED their data archiving policy that McIntyre finally got a look in to how so called climate scientists had been "fixing" its data.

Hohum, another lie. Please, take the advice I gave you before. This isn't Wattsuphisass. People here know when you're lying.

Ah...the contortions to justify the lack of transparency in climate science. Isnt it amazing. From what I can see, the problem you have with McIntyre is that everytime he gets his hands on the climate data used by Jones et al he pulls it apart and highlights time and time again just how hollow the ground is for Mann Made Global Warming (tm).

No, that's not the problem I have with McIntyre as should be obvious to anyone able to read my posts. Perhaps you should take an English course as you're obviously having problems reading it.

Yes you should read the whole story.

I have. You obviously haven't.

Merely your opinion, which Im sure you could back up if you had anything to go on (other than your own opinion that is).

It's not just my opinion. It's the opinion of most climate scientists. You should read something other than denialist blogs once in a while.

Stolen? Unless you have access to something no one else does...prove they were stolen.

Hacker... emails... posted online. That's pretty much common knowledge.

You see, this is yet another example of the continued attempts at deligitimising those who would dare to challenge Mann Made Global Warming (tm).

No, this is another example of denialists blowing their wad before they understand what they have.

It all adds up really. The name calling, ranting about "stolen emails", liberlous staments (that x worked for big oil)...really all a very sad attempt at silencing those who are skeptical around your religions foundations.

If you want to talk about libelous statements, you've made a few in your posts here I'd say.

/Edit: It should be noted - again - that the "religion" insult that denialists like to use really is an astounding piece of projection, given that the denialist movement perfectly mimics fundamentalist religion while the people the denialists are attacking stands for science and reason.

Uke,

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has decided that the University of East Anglia did not properly handle requests for material held by its Climatic Research Unit.

Under section 77 of the FOI Act, it is an offence to intentionally prevent the disclosure of information to which an FOI applicant is entitled.

But action has to be initiated within six months of the offence being committed. In this case the evidence in the UEA's e-mails has come to light too late for any prosecution to be considered.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2010/01/climate_data_why_ministers_ref.html

Of course you could have found this yourself...but instead chose to bury your head deeper in to the sand.

I chose the BBC as the source material for this BECAUSE the BBC is squarely in favour of Mann Made Global Warming (tm), and wouldnt give you an opt out if I had posted a link to a site that doubts the current Mann Made Global Warming (tm) theory.

Ah yes, its those who are seeking the truth that are doing the projecting here :D

Again, the deligitimsation of anyone who dares question the faith of Mann Made Global Warming (tm) is astonishing. Anymeans is ok aye...harping about stolen emails or non-existent links to big oil (conveniently forgetting CRU's links to BP :D).

Oh right...so now you know "most" of the climate scientists out there? :jaw-dropp

Good point - the time limit for prosecution under the statutes had expired so no charges were brought.

I would wonder if that could be caused, rather than circumstance. In other words, if on any FOI, you stall seven months, are you clear of prosecution?

If so that's an error in the statutes.
 
Uke,

According to wikipedia the case is still open, and the COI was criticized for making "a statement to the press that went beyond that which it could substantiate". So, hang up your pom-poms there, buddy.

Ah yes, its those who are seeking the truth that are doing the projecting here :D

No, I clearly said that the denialists are doing the projection. Not the people seeking the truth, i.e, the scientists and the people supporting science and reason.

Again, the deligitimsation of anyone who dares question the faith of Mann Made Global Warming (tm) is astonishing. Anymeans is ok aye...harping about stolen emails or non-existent links to big oil (conveniently forgetting CRU's links to BP :D).

The emails were stolen unless you have a better definition for "hacked and then put online". The links to big oil are well documented, but you wouldn't know that because you won't read about that in denialist blogs. While CRU had dealings with BP, that is hardly an argument for your side, is it?

As for "Any means is ok", that is the denialist motto. You should read this. It provides a look into how the denialist movement operates. It's shameful, really.

Oh right...so now you know "most" of the climate scientists out there? :jaw-dropp

No, and I never said I did. It seems that you're not only having difficulties reading written English, but you are also having grave difficulties comprehending what you do manage to read. I'd suggest more schooling.

Yes, hows about "leaked"? Unless of course you have access to information that NO one else has or proof positive the emails were stolen then front up with it. Naturally Im assuming you have heard of a little something along the lines of "innocent until proven guilty"...or are we now entering the territory where those who question Mann Made Global Warming (tm) should be guilty until proven innocent?

The links to big oil are well documented, but you wouldn't know that because you won't read about that in denialist blogs. While CRU had dealings with BP, that is hardly an argument for your side, is it?

Who exactly is taking all this dirty money from big oil? Im pretty sure McIntyre isnt pumping his bank account full of black gold...whereas CRU's links to big oil money are pretty well documented.

There is billions, if not trillions to be made through Mann Made Global Warming (tm), big oil knows this and if you opened your eyes just a little you would be able to see some of the fraud already being carried out because of green energy requirements.

BTW, the link you provided...maybe you should read page 10? Although I suspect you will of course ignore the first paragraph :D

As for "Any means is ok", that is the denialist motto. You should read this. It provides a look into how the denialist movement operates. It's shameful, really.

I had a good read through your link...it is breath taking isnt it?

But it does beg the question, if the move to "target" climate scientists is so well organised, funded and LARGE...how come there is absolutely no evidence put forward of that apart from "one or two cyber bullies hinting at the level of organisation" going on?

The tarring also going on in that report is itself breath taking. Isnt it interesting though that the report attempts to portray someone like Andrew Bolt as being an agitator...yet has absolutely nothing to say about the activities of George Monboit (remembering he himself admitted that he was out of his depth when it came to debating Mann Made Global Warming (tm)).

The language used throughout the document is so loaded and biased that it can in no way be considered an unbiased report. Denialists, anti-science, hacking...while mistakes by the IPCC are merely referred to as "alleged".

BTW, thanks for the link to Bolts website oh and its pretty well know that the ABC is the BBC of Australia when it comes to the belief in Mann Made Global Warming (tm) :D

Are you sure you never said that? Because when I look back at your posts you very clearly said that most scientists around the world agree with you. Now, you could only know that if you personally KNEW most scientists around the world, which of course we know you dont :D

Yup; more warmerporn.

I did, hence I was able to quote from it. You see how that works?

Yes, hows about "leaked"?

Prove it.

Unless of course you have access to information that NO one else has or proof positive the emails were stolen then front up with it.

Even if the emails were "leaked", they were still stolen, as they didn't belong to whomever put them online. So, they were stolen, as per the definition of the term.

Naturally Im assuming you have heard of a little something along the lines of "innocent until proven guilty"

That's ironic. It seems none of your denialist chums were willing to offer said courtesy to Jones and Mann et al after the emails were stolen.

...or are we now entering the territory where those who question Mann Made Global Warming (tm) should be guilty until proven innocent?

As long as it applies equally to both sides, I think we're fine.


Who exactly is taking all this dirty money from big oil? Im pretty sure McIntyre isnt pumping his bank account full of black gold...whereas CRU's links to big oil money are pretty well documented.

McIntyre's links are well documented. BP was one of the original sponsors of CRU. I still can't see how this is an argument for your side, though. Even if CRU was fully sponsored today by BP, it wouldn't say anything at all. BP is an oil company, and the work CRU does today goes against oil company profiteering.

There is billions, if not trillions to be made through Mann Made Global Warming (tm), big oil knows this and if you opened your eyes just a little you would be able to see some of the fraud already being carried out because of green energy requirements.

Oh, I see. This is some sort of reverse psychology trolling. Just a hint from me to you, it makes your whole argument look stupid.

BTW, the link you provided...maybe you should read page 10? Although I suspect you will of course ignore the first paragraph :D

Which link was that? Could you please highlight the point you are trying to make. I don't enjoy debating against someone who only makes vague statements and hints. Spill the beans or get lost.

I had a good read through your link...it is breath taking isnt it?

Truly revolting if you ask me.

But it does beg the question, if the move to "target" climate scientists is so well organised, funded and LARGE...how come there is absolutely no evidence put forward of that apart from "one or two cyber bullies hinting at the level of organisation" going on?

Oh, I see. You didn't look at any of the footnotes, did you?

The tarring also going on in that report is itself breath taking.

Tarring? It's a document about how denialists operate. There's no tarring going on there.

Isnt it interesting though that the report attempts to portray someone like Andrew Bolt as being an agitator...yet has absolutely nothing to say about the activities of George Monboit (remembering he himself admitted that he was out of his depth when it came to debating Mann Made Global Warming (tm)).

There's nothing in the report about Vladimir Putin or Richard Nixon either. It's not relevant to the scope of the article. If you want to argue that George Monbiot has spawned legions of munchkins threatening scientists to death, go ahead. Just be prepared to back it up.

The language used throughout the document is so loaded and biased that it can in no way be considered an unbiased report. Denialists, anti-science, hacking...while mistakes by the IPCC are merely referred to as "alleged".

First, it's not a report. It's a series of articles. Second, of course it's biased. It's biased towards reason and against moonbat crazies like denialists and their antics. Mistakes in the IPCC is handled pretty well in the article, I think. There was one pretty major mistake, that still didn't alter the conclusion of the report, and the rest were figments of denialist imaginations.

BTW, thanks for the link to Bolts website oh and its pretty well know that the ABC is the BBC of Australia when it comes to the belief in Mann Made Global Warming (tm) :D

You mean producing fair and accurate reporting as opposed to politically biased crap reporting like FOX news et al?


Are you sure you never said that? Because when I look back at your posts you very clearly said that most scientists around the world agree with you.

Yes, I did. I didn't say I knew them all, though. Are you having difficulties with the term "know"?

Now, you could only know that if you personally KNEW most scientists around the world, which of course we know you dont :D

Ok, sit down and let me tell you a story. There's this thing called "media". It takes many different forms, written in books, television, radio, even the internet. It's magical in the way it can transmit ideas from one person to the next without the two ever meeting. Gone are the days of yore were people had to sit face to face to commune. We are living in the future, Billy, and in the future, information is readily accessible.
 
As Im sure even you know, Nixon and Putin have no relevance to the discussion on Mann Made Global Warming (tm), unlike Monboit...so it would have been relevant for Monboit to be included as balance to references of right wing agitation.

And you are right, that link of yours is truly revolting in how biased and singular the authors views are on Mann Made Global Warming (tm).

BTW, wasnt Clive Hamilton advocating for the suspension of democracy in Australia? :jaw-dropp :D

Oh, you might want to check this site of violent right wing terrorists out for some balance on how ABC operates in Australia (christ, they even call ABC Aunty...just like the BBC! :D).

No, because the subject was about how denialist agitators incite their disciples into criminal acts. Do you feel that Monbiot has done so as well? If so, please provide evidence.

And you are right, that link of yours is truly revolting in how biased and singular the authors views are on Mann Made Global Warming (tm).

Let me ask you a direct question: Do you think it is ok for people to email death threats and obscenities to scientists just because the senders don't like the conclusions the scientists have arrived at through research?

BTW, wasnt Clive Hamilton advocating for the suspension of democracy in Australia? :jaw-dropp :D

I have no idea. Feel free to provide evidence for such an assertion and then start a thread in the relevant forum. This isn't it.

Very interesting if you are living in Australia, but not relevant to this discussion, nor to the series of articles I linked, as they stand alone and are consistently sourced.

Changing my story? Are you serious? Is your whole intention here to just troll and be obnoxious? Couldn't you try to offer a sane argument, preferably science related, in this science forum? You're not making any sense at all, and the only thing one can gather from your posts is that there's a lot of rage put into them.
 
Except these warmers don't bury their heads in the sand, they try to bury your heads in the sand with a bunch of warmerporn propaganda.

They say that if you ignore global warming you are responsible for little girls being ran over like by trains:

Postscript: Greenpeace again. Man, these guys are cluelessly stupid. They've got JFK talking about the moon landing...in the past tense (plus sounding like a robot puppet).

Putin and Nixon are irrelevant as they have absolutely no involvement in this discussion. However Monboit is directly relevant because he is an advocate for Mann Made Global Warming who has used his position of "power" to shout down anyone who dares challenge Mann Made Global Warming (tm).

Now, the link you provided had absolutely no evidence that those blogs who are skeptical of mans involvement in Mann Made Global Warming (tm) are advocating violence towards scientists. Clives document was nothing more than a one sided hit peice and reflected nothing more than his own opinion, backed up with VERY LITTLE evidence.

Let me ask you a direct question: Do you think it is ok for people to email death threats and obscenities to scientists just because the senders don't like the conclusions the scientists have arrived at through research?
This is irrelevant, however violence by anyone against anyone on either side of the argument is out of order. Im pretty sure you and I can agree on this?

Very interesting if you are living in Australia, but not relevant to this discussion, nor to the series of articles I linked, as they stand alone and are consistently sourced.
The ABC is relevant to this discussion given their absolute faith in Mann Made Global Warming (tm). The ABC is an advocate for Mann Made Global Warming (tm), and just like the BBC, use their position as a publicly funded body to push "their" belief on to the public.

Changing my story? Are you serious? Is your whole intention here to just troll and be obnoxious?
Always with the name calling. Cant you for once rise above this? :D


Couldn't you try to offer a sane argument, preferably science related, in this science forum? You're not making any sense at all, and the only thing one can gather from your posts is that there's a lot of rage put into them.

The argument is sane...the problem you have is that you dont like your belief system being challenged and anyone who dares to challenge that system must be "obnoxious", using stolen emails and hate mongers :D

Mhaze,

Someone has pointed out that the problem isnt the FOI act, but with the Majestrates act which is where the enforcement comes from (which has the 6 month time limit).

Interestingly enough, the BBC is exempt from the FOI act if a request is made for information that relates to journalistic output. So when people send in FOI requests for the names of all persons who attended the BBC's Mann Made Global Warming (tm) conference a couple years ago (where the BBC set its Mann Made Global Warming (tm) agenda)...of course the BBC refused those requests on the grounds that the conference related to its output as a media organisation.

I'll tell you why Warmers won't answer this question. You see, they already think you and those like you are violent because you and those like you are killing tomorrow's children and babies. So this fantasized violence concept....It bears remarkable resemblances to carbon trading, where by government mandate people are forced to engage in buying and selling imaginary invisible clouds.

No, I think some denialists are violent because they threaten people. Is that concept hard for you to understand?
