Good thing stan is on our side since he knows all the details of Judith Curry’s case.

An Aussie group put up a great source of most of the important emails in climategate. The lies of the alarmist “hockey team” were exposed for being blatant and relentless.

Jeff Condon (as Jeff Id) was excellent in his analysis. His blog is The Air Vent. He was one of the recipients of the leak.

Coyoteblog used to have a good presentation on the many problems of global warming science.

WattsUpWithThat is still a good source.

Most of the brilliant people who tore apart the corruption and incompetence of the global warming scam have moved on. They very clearly proved it was bad science. And the world made it very clear that it didn’t matter. It had to be really disheartening to realize just how corrupt our institutions are.

Of course, we’ve seen it on issue after issue over the last few decades. Truth doesn’t matter. The constitution doesn’t matter. The rule of law doesn’t matter. Big Brother just keeps tightening the noose. And America keeps getting weaker and weaker. And Democrats and their voters keep celebrating their rampant criminality with smug, moral hubris.

Curry defended the indefensible for many years. She participated in scientific fraud and has never apologized. I doubt she ever will.

I remember pursuing a degree in Geology in the late 70s. The Acid Rain problem was just starting to be characterized, the funding was in place and data was being collected by research groups in dozens of universities. And of course the data was pretty clear, and the policy and legislation followed that cleaned up the industrial sulfur emissions problems and allowed the biological systems to recover. And there’s not much doubt about the improvements in the water quality in the NE’s lakes and rivers.

But: It was on the back of this successful effort of research-grant money being at the forefront of solving an environmental problem, that the new business model was born, and harnessed for its next, great mission. I have come to view it as a business model in search of a good subject – and Global Warming was the target of choice. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this has happened during the great expansion phase of the world’s university system.

I don’t recall the exact date but I think it may have been a little before 1989, somewhere around ’86 through ’88. That’s when a friend of mine who was a NOAA officer at the time & I attended a lecture on some NOAA research. They had been measuring CO2 in the Antarctic and on Mt. Haleakala in Maui.

There were no hysterical alarms being put forth, but the basic premise about humans changing our atmosphere and CO2 is a greenhouse gas was unmistakable. Even back then I was afraid. Not of the warming, but of the coming government overreach.

The original Climategate emails contained similar evidence of destroying information and data that the public would naturally assume would be available according to freedom of information principles. “Mike, can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith [Briffa] re AR4 [UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment]?” Jones wrote to Penn State University scientist Michael Mann in an email released in Climategate 1.0. “Keith will do likewise. … We will be getting Caspar [Ammann] to do likewise. I see that CA [the Climate Audit Web site] claim they discovered the 1945 problem in the Nature paper!!”

The new emails also reveal the scientists’ attempts to politicize the debate and advance predetermined outcomes.

And on it goes.
