CRU Tossed Raw Data: Global Warming Science Is Dead
Update: Click through here for video on potential prosecutions for fraud as a result of what these alleged scientists have done.
There are not enough words to describe what was done here by the so-called leading authorities behind the entire Global Warming idea. As TigerHawk puts it:
So, basically we are being asked to restructure the entire economy of the planet on the say-so of a few "scientists" whose work cannot be verified or even reconstructed. Is there any intellectually honest person who thinks that is a good idea?
Given that they adjusted the raw data to draw their conclusions and have tossed that raw data, added to the email generated concerns, there is no way these people can be trusted to even try and re-construct the source data by reversing any alleged equations used. They have behaved unethically, incompetently, potentially criminally, and more.
That information was subject to Freedom of Information Request. Any notion that there is reliable science driving the Global Warming debate needs to be discarded. And it is the very people pushing it who have destroyed every reason to believe in the alleged science along with them at this point. They are not worthy of trust at this point due to their own actions.
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.
The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.
The very foundation of science is that it be reproducible. These unprofessional hacks have made re-production of their work to validate their conclusions impossible. It can not legitimately be called science at all at this point. It's rubbish, precisely what their raw data became. What a scientific and political nightmare these irresponsible people have created for the world. They ought never be permitted to work anywhere in the field of science again.
As I type, the Sunday shows’ hosts are prepping for their live broadcasts. Let’s see which of them (if any) will do anything but let the Obamastration get away with putting its hands over its collective ears and sing “La la la la la la la, I can’t hear you!”
This can be equated to the reasoning behind the political declaration that the “debate is over” and that majority of scientists have reached a “consensus”.
The fact that AL GORE refuses to debate what he nor others have ever debated. This man is not a scientist, not even a scholar nor is he very intelligent. Al Gore is a street hustling used car salesman.
These are political proclamations co-mingled with one sided science observations.
The UN whom was key architect of “Oil for Food” which was never properly investigated much less prosecuted has been glorified as the be all end all authority on this matter when “Oil for Food” should have labeled them the most discredited institution in the world today.
The Nobel Peace Prize is being used to add credibility and world recognition for political figures who really have no resume supporting this level of authority and should be discredited, impeached and impugned ten fold.
Intellectual dishonesty and bankruptcy of the World Media has accelarated and elevated the deception and fraud.
Onward to Copenhagen
Damn The Torpedos full speed ahead
” Damn the torpedos! ” Captain Obama shouted.
As we sailed at flank speed towards oblivion I could not help but think of the horrible view of the hull below deck. I could not put the ominous hole in the hull of the ship where I saw water gushing out of my mind. The image of the men trying to fix the bilge pumps who looked panicked and shot furtive glimpses that seemed to say without words:
” We are doomed for the fool that runs this ship ”
I ran forward on the deck and informed Captain Obama that Ensign Geitner appeared to be having trouble with the pumps not running. The Captain replied that he had already talked with Ensign Geitner and they had discussed opening the hole wider to drain the sea. Their theory being that the sooner it ran dry the sooner the problem would be solved. Cabin boy Judd Gregg argued against this from every angle but the captain’s officers all agreed that Geitner was a genius. I had also seen boatswain Bernanke with a crazed look on his face and his eyes bugging out of his head madly scooping up water with a cracker tin only to dump again into `the hold of the ship doing nothing more than a hamster does in its exercise wheel. I could not help but laugh when some of the cracker tins of water would douse Ensign Geitner though the situation appeared dire.
I knew we were near the end of our last voyage on the S.S. Hew Breeze.
The first signs
We saw the first signs the Captain had gone over the edge one very clear blue day. We were on top swabbing the decks with not a care in the world when the captain standing on the poop pointed and called out ” The seas are rising and a disaster is going to befall this grand sea. We will set a course for Europe as I must consult with King Canute on how to rule the tides go out again…… “. The Captain looked shaken and panicked as he stood there pointing off to the horizon. The deck hands stood looking and straining to see what he saw. All we could see was a faint dot of land on the far horizon that looked like it might be an island or a little nearer and be another ship. We common sailors were not accustomed to the Captain showing fear. Now he was showing a form of imbalance far beyond fear. I tried to reason with him. He responded ” The seas will spill over the land “. We must use every power in our grasp to prevent this” And thus we ate rations short of meat which made the men weak and our ship was driven slowly. Captain Obama would stand on the poop and twirl 2 steel balls in his hands with a wild look in his eyes staring off to the horizon and ever repeating ” What would Rear Admiral Gore do ? What would Rear Admiral Gore do? ”
I knew then he had cracked but also knew I would have to wait to allow the other hands on the ship to see it too. For I knew the Captain much better than they for I am Larry Sinclair the first mate and I knew if I made mention of this too soon they would not believe. I had privy to knowledge other crew members had not seen. When the Hew Breeze was in port I was the lackey sent to obtain the Captains illicit packages of Chinese tars.
We had no time for caulking the oak planks that constituted our ship. The men grew restless knowing that our lives depend upon the integrity of the might behemoth the S.S. Hew Breeze. The Captain grew ever more petulant when asked for permission to caulk the hull repeatedly. He would reply each time with the cryptic line that ” From tiny oaks might acorns come ” . He would order them to the contrary. The Captain had a plan for every minute of every day. He had plans for everything. Everything was wrong and must be set just right by his design. The deck hands were on edge. They dare not start a job because no sooner had they started but the Captain would be upon them telling them they were doing it wrong and setting them straight. Thus the ship fell into deeper disarray with each passing moment.
From health care reform to HIV research to swine flu and much, much more…when are we going to stop trusting these people? They’ve proven time and gain that they can’t be trusted. They’ve proven their intellectual dishonesty and corruption at every turn, but we still rely upon them because…they are specialists and authority figures? We keep trusting them (and re-electing them) and we keep expecting different results???
Are we all nuts?
‘Cause…otherwise, sumpin’ about all of this doesn’t make any rational sense…
East Anglia/CR/IPCC just said ‘Trust us! We’re going to review our own data and we promise that we’ll get it right this time!!!’
…clean out the swamp…
…contract with America…
…the science is settled…
…there is a consensus…
…our position is inarguable…
…we have a mandate…
Hew Breeze. It took a minute or so but I got it.
I don’t know that we will ever know who to thank for this document dump but they are a HERO in my eyes. I have stressed over these TRILLIONS of dollars that our children and their children would be responsible for due to a LIE and now I am not just a voice in the wilderness the forest is ABLAZE….I just want to say THANK YOU to the person who helped tell the TRUTH!
ClimateGate: CRU Agrees To Publish All The Data. That They Havent Thrown Away
Yesterday, the scientists involved in ClimateGate made an important announcement
Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data dubbed Climategate have agr…
Climate Change is Dead! Long Live Climate Change!
This is not science, it is pseudo-science. When results cannot be empiricially repeated through independent observation and experimentation within a reasonable margin of error, when data sets themselves are insufficient to draw unequivocal conclusions, and when methodologies used in experimentation are of dubious scientific merit, it leads to conclusions that at best can neither be proven nor disproven. When conclusions can neither be proven nor disproven, it cannot be called science any more than astrology, religion, or political doctrine can be called science. When personal opinion and belief poisons objectivity, there is no science and any conclusion is suspect.
I’m going to cut them one inch of slack.
I have no doubt the records they were working from were messy, inconsistent, and otherwise a hassle to deal with.
Further, they were learning as they went; there was no such thing as ‘climate science’ back then, and I doubt anyone involved in the process at the time had any idea how deadly serious and important it’d all become.
That said, there’s absolutely NO EXCUSE for not acknowledging what was done, then or now. They’ve shot themselves in the foot in a big way.
Does anyone know where CRU got its funding? Was General Electric a major contributor? You can’t get away with a fraud this big without having a powerful octopus of a sponsor whose many tentacles include owning diversified mass media.
As I type, the Sunday shows’ hosts are prepping for their live broadcasts. Let’s see which of them (if any) will do anything but let the Obamastration get away with putting its hands over its collective ears and sing “La la la la la la la, I can’t hear you!”
US Media is living in a bubble. Amazing how they collectively chose to ignore this big news. No wonder people don’t believe them anymore.
I didn’t see any coverage of this on any of the Sunday morning news shows. Including Fox.
Why WOULD any of the networks cover this? NBC is owned by AGW champion General Electric. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is on a personal campaign to stop AGW
http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/14/news/companies/pluggedin_gunther_murdoch.fortune/index.htm
ABC is owned by another AGW propagandizing Disney Corp.
Again, does anyone know who the major CRU funders were? My bet it is these guys and others who also fund political campaigns stand to make billions under a global UN-regulated carbon credit economy.
“Why WOULD any of the networks cover this? NBC is owned by AGW champion General Electric. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is on a personal campaign to stop AGW”
People who are involved in a disinformation campaign sponsored by a huge industry with a vested interest in scrapping any carbon emission control regulations speculate about conspiracies? If you were drug dealers, you’d be blaming the police for declaring heroin to be a narcotic.
I’ve often ragged on Mike Steele, perhaps a bit too often. He’s on the right side of this debate, though.
Here’s the NYT’s smug little blog, Green Inc., on Mike’s “We are not warming.” This was only eight months ago:
http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/20/michael-steele-we-are-not-warming/
Ummm … just how central IS the East Anglia data to the whole argument? Until just now I had never heard of them.
What is lacking here is good science, untainted by political agenda. NEITHER side in the debate can claim to be trustworthy … which pisses me off no end because I cannot get the needed good data from which to form a well-grounded opinion.
Pro warming or anti — you are both liars and opportunists and I hate you for twisting this serious issue to suit your own petty agendas. Bugger off.
Gore, only a few hundred votes away from being President. Can you imagine the climate bill changes he might have enacted based on “science?”
Freeman SandleWould you are a literary and satirical genius, and a gentleman. On target, couldn’t be more apt, for those of us with still-spellbound family members: “I knew then he had cracked but also knew I would have to wait to allow the other hands on the ship to see it too. For I knew the Captain much better than they for I am Larry Sinclair the first mate and I knew if I made mention of this too soon they would not believe”.
“throwing away … the raw data”
The very first thing I learned, waay back, when doing some physical measurement/analysis and in turn mechanical tabulation. Part time, for a small firm fulfilling a gubment contract. Was throw NOTHING away.
[Boosh's fault. Palin's. Ooond them skeery white folk (it's a trifecta!)]
These fookin clowns needs a real good slappin. Slappity slappity slappity (stop elmo … you’re leaving a mark).
On to Copenhagen
Chapter 3
Cabin Boy Willy Fox
One time after making my inspection rounds I stopped by the Captains quarters and rapped 3 times quickly on the door and entered. The visage I was treated to next was quite a shock. The well liked cabin boy Willy Fox was tied to the futtocks with pants down and bright red stripes across his gluteus maximus. The captains chief petty officer Emanuel had a bimmy in his hand and was administering corporal punishment abaft the beam while the captain looked on. The position they had him tied in I hope he would not end up broke back. When I looked in Fox’s eyes he had a faint glimmer as though he was enjoying the whole process. I quickly excused myself as the whole process appeared a little queerish. Later inquired with Gregg as to why the cabin boy was being punished. The story I got was that Fox had not showed the proper deference towards Captain Obama and it did not take any excuse for petty officer Emmanuel. Emanual hated the innate goodness of Willy Boy. It disgusted me. How could a man with so much responsibility as a ship’s captain be so vainly concerned? Did he not know that would only give him only bad press among the crew? And why would he not solicit the company of the foremast-jack Mr. Olbermann. The little toady is constantly polishing the captains woodwork. Surely he could spare the well liked Willy. There had been rumors of Chief Petty Officer Emmanuel wearing a tutu and twirling and prancing to entertain his better friends in private but I always assumed that was just a sailors joke at his expense. Could it be the stories were true and the captain was unwittingly being drawn into the scheme girlish twirling? It all left me worried as a ship is tight space and that fate of one is generally the fate of all on board. Such light hearted silliness did not bode well for such a serious undertaking as putting to sea. I wanted to survive the voyage and as I only had one more voyage before my retirement from the navy the feeling was all the more intense.
The truly odd thing about chief petty officer Emanuel was that he always had bad breath. Not merely bad. Atrocious. I personally witnessed him exiting the head after brushing his teeth. Even immediately after brushing his teeth his breath smelled that of a foul wind eminating from the wrong end of a man. How could this be? What was he eating?
