Hide The Decline Data
For example this link to Keith Briffa’s Yamal data:
http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/yamal2009/
Now redirects to a generic page of UEA. Try it yourself.
Now here is what that page says:
Climatic Research Unit
Due to the present high volume of visitors to this page, you will shortly be directed to the latest news about CRU on the main University of East Anglia website, or you can go there immediately by clicking on this link.
The cached page at Google is still available here, though none of the links to data or papers works there either.
If CRU were a stock brokerage house, the principles would already be in jail. These are not the actions of an organization that has nothing to hide.
Via Memeorandum.

Gaius –
Be forewarned …
Fox News Site is reporting: “Two nonprofit groups say that computer technicians have found 22 million White House e-mails from the administration of President George W. Bush.”

Now, I give the MSM in this country 24-48 hrs before they are “all over this like white on Obama’s Momma”, insinuating this and that, and speculating on the emails’ “missing-ness” and who should be frog-marched to whatever hearing/tribunal for whatever execution.
They will make a big deal out of quite possibly absolutely nothing more than ’spam’ …
All the while the CRU ClimateGate hoax has been out there for a couple weeks now and ‘one’ has to go to the blogs in the states or to the British media for ANY coverage. And we are talking about a global societal and world economic manipulation and power grabs of Biblical proportions.

In case you missed it, Gaius, the pitch is now being made in Copenhagen to study the effects of Nitrogen(!) on global warming. In case the house of cards on which the CO2 scare was built totally collapses, there needs to be a fallback position to keep the $$$ rolling into these “scientists’.

Great news! Nitrogen in the atmosphere is no more a contributor to increased global temperatures than Carbon Dioxide, or Oxygen for that matter.
Atmospheric gases don’t hold heat, internal greenhouse temperatures rise because they allow heat and light to enter an enclose space which heats everything inside, the air included.
People who build passively heated solar homes go to great expense to use massive structures to capture and hold heat. Air can’t hold heat unless it’s confined inside an enclosure, that’s why you keep your doors and windows closed in winter.

That was just weird. Why hide the data now? I would bet that it’s out there somewhere.

I vote for methane to become the next darling of the global warming / climate change debate.
Hiding the data will only delay the inevitable conclusion is that these “scientists” manipulated data so they could continue to receive funding.

Here are a few items from the UK “Daily Express” article of 12/15/09, “Climate Change is Natural: 100 Reasons Why.
Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.
Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.
After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.
Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.
Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.
The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.
The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.
Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” – suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming.
A large body of scientific research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.
Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago.
Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds.
Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”
A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.
The science of what determines the earth’s temperature is in fact far from settled or understood.
Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control.
A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners from 106 countries have signed it.

Has anyone yet encountered a pinko who is honest enough to admit that many of the important warmie factual allegations are fraudulent? I haven’t, and that shows pretty conclusively that all liberals — ALL LIBERALS — are lying filth.
