I have e-mailed some links to 30'ish of those news corporations listed on the link TB. Hopefully other's will do the same and the word will spread.

This is spreading like wildfire!
Indeed, anyone seeding a torrent to the file will see just how quickly people are trying to get hold of it!

Great stuff. My own opinion is that this isn't faked, I've read through quite a lot of it now and it seems genuine to me.

Allegedly there is an email raised at about the same time as a FOI request was submitted to the University of East Anglia asking several people to delete any references to "AR4" .. what is AR4 ?
That would be "Assessment Report 4"

Presumably there's something in there which is factually incorrect?

Some of the emails also insinuate that the BBC have a lead person, one Richard Black, who puts a predefined slant on climate change to every story they publish. See email "1255352444.txt".

No they're not. They are utterly utterly utterly utterly utterly.... I'm lost for words.


Hint:
communicating_cc.pdf said:
The blanket of gases that keeps the surface of the earth warm and able to sustain life is getting thicker, trapping in more heat. This is caused by the release of greenhouse gases as we burn fossil fuels for energy and cut down forests. The vast majority of scientists now agree that to avoid radical changes in temperature in the future, action is urgently needed now.

Tomorrow’s climate is today’s challenge. [b]Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse
gas, which causes climate change.[/b]

Every tonne emitted in to the atmosphere commits the world to more warming. We
can do something about it – every tonne of emissions avoided reduces the threat of climate change. This is why we need to address this issue now, wherever we can. Everyone can do something to help.

I spent a lot of time reading into the Pentagon 'crash', firmly believe that it was staged.
Yes, it's an IQ test and you failed. Now, I absolutely double, nay, triple-dare you to start a thread on PH about 9/11 conspiracies and survive the lashing you get....others tried, failed and fked right off.

Let's discuss this no more on this thread. Do some searching on PH.

Dangerous things thems Ipods.
Maybe they confused them with Senna Podssmile

ETA Why aren't my bold tags working around

there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and by IPCC

&

here are some notes of mine on the recent lack of warming.
