“I don't think it's fair for him to say he "would" have gone to war had he known that. He *did* go to war knowing that. Do you think Bush's buddy wasn't in on the lie?”

“Now that's a baggadouche. I have a question: is this really a war on christmas, or a war on the right for people to celebrate secularly? I know these folks like to attack big mean awful businesses for... saying 'happy holidays' instead of 'merry christmas,' yet they forgive them their actual sins. Freedom and liberty for christians; none for everyone else, thank you very much!”

“Well done, you defeated the idea of Global Warming. Oh wait, no you just whined about it. Here's an idea: how about you invent such a device so the government doesn't have to drag the children we call american businesses around by the wrist.”

“When you think about it, they had access to thousands of emails and only found one that, on the surface, seems to point toward wrongdoing. When you actually scrutinize the email, it turns out it was just a discussion about how to format a graph to make a greater visual impact and nothing about faking science. If there was some kind of conspiracy, surely they would fine much more than this one seemingly dastardly email.”

gage replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 10:50:46

“There are other emails that show collusion to delete emails in violation of UK's FOI act. There's a lot more in there too. It's a cliquish circle of scientists trying to prevent their data and code from being released, and colluding to damage the reputations of scientists who think independently. It shows a very politicized, secretive mindset, which is NOT conducive to good science.

This happens all too often in science. The government malpractice that's brought us an obesity and diabetes epidemic was based on a small, power-hungry group of nutritional scientists controlled by Ancel Keys.”

PlayTOE replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 08:22:55

“So the big unresolved question in Climate Science is 'how to best format a graph' showing the global warming trends ...”

goodspkr replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 08:22:17

“Sorry MRL, this is more than one email.

"It is clear that some of the 'world's leading climate scientists,' as they are always described, are more dedicated to promoting the alarmist political agenda than in scientific research," said Ebell, whose group is funded in part by energy companies. "Some of the e-mails that I have read are blatant displays of personal pettiness, unethical conniving, and twisting the science to support their political position."

In one e-mail, Ben Santer, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, offered to beat up skeptic Pat Michaels, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, out of sympathy for Jones.

This is getting juicy. Let the fun begin.”

topgunna replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 07:05:20

“I'm more interested to see if any actual data pops up. So many of the IPCC scientists refuses to release their data/methodologies, despite numerous FOIA requests.

The "formatting a graph" you mention actually refers to splicing 2 data sets together. "Hiding the decline" refers to hiding a divergence problem between those data sets. This is a bigger deal than most want to admit.”
