Copenhagen Climate Treaty & Climategate

Another Global Warming Scientist Slates Legal Probe

May 6, 2010

Climate Realists - Since the Climategate scandal, establishment figures have relentlessly stymied unwelcome scrutiny by legal experts. The latest wagon-circler is Dr. Judith Curry, an esteemed member of NASA's Climate Research Committee for over three years. Now Curry has become a self-appointed apologist for the unethical and some say, fraudulent, conduct of Penn. State University’s climate professor, Michael Mann.

In an interview with Thomas Fuller of the Environmental Policy Examiner (May 4, 2010) this well-heeled establishment scientist criticizes Virginia Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, for doing his job. Somehow Dr. Curry manages to fudge the line between a deliberate pre-meditated criminal fraud and an honest mistake.

Her tirade was prompted by Cuccinelli’s legal demand for access to Mann’s records from his former employers at Virginia State University where the tree-ring researcher benefited by almost $500,000 in taxpayer funding.

The Evidence Shows Probable Cause

If anyone doubts Cuccinelli’s just cause then I suggest they read the Wegman Report, those leaked Climategate emails plus the British investigation known as the Oxburgh Committee Report.

Response to Statement from the UK Government Regarding Climate Research Unit of UEA

May 6, 2010

Climate Realists - Excerpts: Towards the end of last year, 2009, an Epetition was created and submitted by Mike Haseler to the UK Government regarding the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Nearly 3300 signatures were attached to it and the Government responded on 24th March 2010. The petition request was: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/UEACRU/

Quote: We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to suspend the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia from preparation of any Government Climate Statistics until the various allegations have been fully investigated by an independent body.

So here we have the revelation that GISS is inferior to CRU, some of the data is not used and adjustments are included, although the three sets agree on decadal scales over land. We need to remind ourselves that the Earth is two thirds covered by water, so what about the rest? But the CRU version is now in question and being investigated and an expert considers GISS to be inferior. Apparently these inconvenient facts are immaterial to the Government.

Next, let us finish with the final line of the petition request:

Quote: We call on the PM to suspend all further use of the climate research unit until all pertinent allegations have been investigated and any action (if any) has been taken.

This has been completely disregarded and thus goes unmentioned and, obviously, without action. Business continues as usual at CRU.
