Jones on 24 November in the Guardian: " We've not deleted any emails or data here at CRU. I would never manipulate the data one bit - I would categorically deny that." Jones in a Decmember 2008 email: "If he pays 10 pounds (which he hasn't yet) I am supposed to go through my emails and he can get anything I've written about him. About 2 months ago I deleted loads of emails, so have very...
From the Wall Street Journal : The climatologists at the center of last week's leaked-email and document scandal have taken the line that it is all much ado about nothing. Yes, the wording of the some of their messages was unfortunate, but they insist this in no way undermines the underlying science, which is as certain as ever. "What they've done is search through stolen personal emails—confidential...
Rush Limbaugh says the climate scientists should be 'drawn and quartered'. Glenn Beck touts stolen emails as evidence for a 'scam,' and the Moonie Times says, well who the hell cares. The Moonies are down to 45,000 uber-wingnut subscribers. Last week we explained the story behind one of the stolen emails. Paleo-climatologist Micheal Mann of Realclimate , who was intimately involved in the issue discussed...
Steve McIntyre quotes Phil Jones: In the Dec. 3, 2008, e-mail to Jones’ fellow global warming scientists, Jones says: About 2 months ago I deleted loads of emails, so have very little – if anything at all. In the Nov....
Ad Verbera posted a new topic: Do hacked e-mails show global-warming fraud? November 20, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Controversy has exploded onto the Internet after a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK had its e-mail system hacked and the data published on line. The director of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit confirmed that the e-mails are genuine — and Australian publication...
Steve McIntyre, the climate scientist behind climateaudit.org has pieced together the code that reveals the data deleted by the CRU to "hide the decline" (as Prof Phil Jones now famously said in a leaked email) in post-1960 global temperatures. It provides further damning evidence of a cover-up the likes and scale of which the scientific world really has never seen before. It is devastating....
From Ace: Worth reading. This guy filed his own FOIA requests, and each was denied for spurious reasons. When this guy showed himself to be determined, and exposed their reasons for rejection to be made-up nonsense, Phil Jones issued this now-notorious email: Mike, Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family...
While nearly all of the Climategate outrage and ridicule has come from global warming skeptics, an ally of the embarrassed scientists has finally argued that it’s time for fellow environmentalists to come clean. Environmental blogger George Monbiot wrote Wednesday in the Guardian: I have seldom felt so alone. Confronted with crisis, most of the environmentalists I know have gone into denial....
Lots more on Climategate, all below the cut. Steve Milloy notes an October 14th email from Kevin Trenberth (senior scientist, National Center for Atmorspheric Research; lead author, IPCC) to Tom Wigley (another scientist): How come you do not agree with a statement that says we are no where close to knowing where energy is going or whether clouds are changing to make the planet brighter. We are not...
From Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. E-mail Documentation Of The Successful Attempt By Thomas Karl Director Of the U.S. National Climate Data Center To Suppress Biases and Uncertainties In the Assessment Surface Temperature Trends The release of the e-mails from Phil Jones further confirmed the attempts to suppress viewpoints of climate change issues, which conflict with the IPCC [...]

Allie Duzett, in a Nov. 25 Accuracy in Media post , is annoyed that people are complaining that the stolen emails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit are being taken out of context by critics -- like Duzett. She defends taking the emails out of context because, in her view she's not: When Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia admitted in the...
Look, a "travesty" is a "grotesque imitation," and that's how Kevin Trenberth - who was the lead scientist of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change studies in 2001 and 2007 - describes the bogus claims of global warming science in an e-mail just a month ago. The image here is from the Daily Mail , " Climate Change Scandal Deepens as BBC Expert Claims He Was Sent...
Urban warming isn’t important or real? They spend all their time in these emails addressing ’skeptics’ rather than asking if the data might have a problem. From: Tom Wigley To: Phil Jones Subject: LAND vs OCEAN Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:15 -0700 <x-flowed> We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming [...]
Climategate: how they all squirmed By James Delingpole Among the many great amusements of the Climategate scandal are the myriad imaginative excuses being offered by the implicated scientists and their friends in the MSM as to why this isn’t a significant story. Here are some of the best: Most Unexpectedly Honourable Response: The Guardian’s eco-columnist George Monbiot Say what you like...
