Swiftboating the Climate Scientists
George Marshall writes in the block Climate Change Denial a post bemoaning “Swiftboating the Climate Scientists.”
The theft of 1,000 private e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (UEA) shows that deniers have learned lessons from dirty politics and are running a new campaign to undermine public trust in climate scientists. The feeble response from the UEA and the climate science community shows that scientists are still totally underestimating the fragility of that trust and the crucial role it plays in building public belief.
1,073 Email and 55MB of Files: The Fraud of Global Warming Exposed
Hackers recently seized and released 1,073 emails and 55MB of files from Climate Report and the University of East Anglia. Not unexpected on today’s Internet but the results are explosive. The content of the emails unequivocally show that global warming is a fraud and that scientists involved actively perpetrated this fraud.
Like so many others I have downloaded the hacked files and have begun perusing the emails. First, I’ve got to suspect the scientists involved feel very violated to find their emails now on the Internet for everyone to read. Interesting to note that they are admitted as genuine from several media reports (Phil Jones admits files taken, defends content; Gavin Schmidt says his are genuine). Second, they should be concerned about repercussions, whether they should have attorneys, and maybe whether it might be time to quietly retire. For Al Gore and others making a career out of global warning, this has to be a bone chilling moment as their entire religious crusade is exposed as fraud. What do they do? Admit it? Explain it away? Or, try to ignore it?
