Last year, my column "Global Warming Rope-A-Dope" started
out: "Americans have been rope-a-doped into believing that global
warming is going to destroy the planet. Scientists who have been
skeptical about manmade global warming have been called traitors or
handmaidens of big oil." New evidence proves that climatologists and
environmental policy advocates have not only fed us lies, engaged in
scientific and academic fraud but committed criminal acts as well.
Last month, Russian computer hackers obtained thousands of e-mails from
the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA)
in England. CRU has the world's largest temperature data set. In
collaboration with scientists around the world, including the U.S., its
research and mathematical models form the basis of the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2007 global warming
report.
The e-mails involved communication among climate researchers and policy
advocates around the world who brazenly discuss both the destruction and
hiding of data that does not support their global-warming claims. They
discuss criminally deleting data rather than comply with Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests. There's also discussion of faking data
for journals such as Nature, conspiring to keep opposing science out of
peer-reviewed journals (which they controlled the editorial boards), and
using statistical "tricks" to hide the cooling period of the last 10
years. One e-mail said, "The fact is we can't account for the lack of
warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." Another said,
"it would be nice to try to 'contain' the putative 'MWP,' even if we
don't yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far
back." MWP refers to the Medieval Warm Period (800 A.D. to 1300 A.D.)
when the Earth was much warmer than it is now. This bothers the global
warmers because they can't blame the temperature increase a thousand
years ago on SUVs, coal-burning power plants, incandescent bulbs and
60-inch TV screens.
Editors of professional journals, who were willing to publish articles
that disagreed with the warmers, were forced to resign -- as was in the
cases of editors at Climate Research and Geophysical Research Letters. A
flagrant example of suppression is found in CRU director Phil Jones',
letter to Pennsylvania State University's Michael E. Mann that questions
whether the work of academics who question the link between human
activities and global warming deserve to make it into the IPCC report,
which represents the environmental extremist's view on climate science.
Jones writes, "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!"
The fact of the matter is an increasing amount of climate research
suggests a possibility of global cooling. Geologist Dr. Don J.
Easterbrook, Emeritus Professor at Western Washington University, says,
"Recent solar changes suggest that it could be fairly severe, perhaps
more like the 1880 to 1915 cool cycle than the more moderate 1945-1977
cool cycle. A more drastic cooling, similar to that during the Dalton
and Maunder minimums, could plunge the Earth into another Little Ice
Age, but only time will tell if that is likely." Geologist Dr. David
Gee, chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International
Geological Congress, currently at Uppsala University in Sweden asks,
"For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand
that the planet is not warming?"
Last year's column closed with my speculation that if ever "the
permafrost returns to northern U.S., as far south as New Jersey as it
once did, it's not inconceivable that Congress, caught in the grip of
global warming zealots, would keep all the laws on the books they wrote
in the name of fighting global warming. Personally, I would not put it
past them to write more." This is confirmed by the Obama
administration's climate czar, Carol Browner, who, despite dishonesty,
fraud and criminality, says she considers the science on global warming
settled.
