An excerpt from a “must read” piece. Proponents of man-made global warming are now apparently guilty of dishonest science, avoidance of peer-review, manipulation/destruction of evidence and fraud. The scientific method, an intellectual staple in our technologically driven world, was totally bastardized.
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth aka AGW; aka ManBearPig has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit aka CRU and released 61 megabytes of confidential files onto the internet.

The piece appears to be credibly crafted although approached from a decidedly partisan basis. Unfortunately, the available discussion on global warming tends to be from partisan advocates. But if the science has been perverted, who else is going to bring it up?

Climategate Foretold…
“• What is the current scientific consensus on the conclusions reached by Drs. Mann, Bradley and Hughes? [Referring to the hockey stick propagated in UN IPCC 2001 by Michael Mann.]
Ans: Based on the literature we have reviewed, there is no overarching consensus on MBH98/99. As analyzed in our social network, there is a tightly knit group of individuals who passionately believe in their thesis. However, our perception is that this group has a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism and, moreover, the work has been sufficiently politicized that they can hardly reassess their public positions without losing credibility.”
