Climate Scientists Suppressed Conflicting Reports?

If this email below from the hacked and leaked climate change fiasco is accurate, then potentially as many as 450 conflicting reports were kept from the public scientific debate on climate change.

To: “Michael E. Mann”

I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!

Cheers

Apparently the head of Hadley-CRUT is resigning. Now, one has to wonder: IF there was the SLIGHTEST chance that none of this were true, WHY would he resign?

They were caught red-handed. I can only hope this escalates. For one, I'd like to see Meltdown Mann fired from his position, also.

Resigning? Justice? Can medals be awarded to the anonymous?

Except for the conspiracy aspects of the contents of FOIA2009.zip, exactly why was all this stuff secret in the first place ?

Likewise, if the part of the theory that says this was put together as part of the review to Steve McIntyre’s FOIA request, exactly what contained with FOIA2009.zip, aside from the embarrassing conspiracy perpetrated by CRU employees, were the CRU officials trying to protect by denying the request.

Finally, the legal department of CRU found nothing strange reading this material that obviously reveals many unethical, if not illegal, acts by CRU employees ?

Frankly, the best course for the CRU and the University of East Anglia is to announce that a ongoing probe had been started on Nov. 12, 2009 into the actions of various employees of the CRU, from material that came to light because of a FOIA request.

Those conversations led Gore to politically inconvenient conclusions in this new book. In his conversations with Schmidt and other colleagues at the beginning of the year, Gore explored new studies – published only last week – that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming.
Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.

“Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all on CO2, and I think that’s still justified,” he told the magazine. “But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to widen the focus to encompass strategies for all” of the greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study.

Next we will find out that Al Gore has cornered the market on methane absorbers.

The name, John Holdren (Obama's Science Czar) shows up in 6 of the e-mail streams. Five are merely cc:-s, but one to Michael Mann is from Holdren where he pokes fun at his "Harvard" colleagues Soon and Baliunas (1066337021).
