Climate Cat out of the Bag? Potentially dynamite revelations

[Ali G]

So here's a question..

Are you vetted before you take a degree in climatology?

Quite fancy taking some time off and getting stuck in! Although I may not be 'on message'

It's been like this for a very long time. I have images on file stretching way back.

What does it look like when it doesn't look like that?

There's one item on the interviewer's clipboard these days:

CRU Update

Statement from Professor Trevor Davies Pro-Vice-Chancellor Research said:

...
We have, therefore, decided to conduct an independent review, which will address the issue of data security, an assessment of how we responded to a deluge of Freedom of Information requests, and any other relevant issues which the independent reviewer advises should be addressed.

Wonder how far reaching the relevant issues will be?

"There is nothing in the stolen material which indicates that peer-reviewed publications by CRU, and others, on the nature of global warming and related climate change are not of the highest-quality of scientific investigation and interpretation"

Jesus, listen to him. Just stop, stop it now, these fking pathetic attempts to deny this mess are embarassing, oh, and for the record nothing was stolen, you backed up your data on an external server you lying, inept, immoral, spineless ahole. Save it for the inquiry bozo

The images shown are H-alpha which reveal active areas including spots but the spot areas don't look the same as they would in visible light.

For H-alpha images to look the way they do, for so long is...unprecedented....a tipping point...a sign that taxes are too low...really taking us back to the Dalton Minimum if not the Maunder Minimum (latter of Little Ice Age fame). There are no indicators at this stage inconsistent with either, to see how deep and prolonged this long-predicted Gleissberg deep minimum is we must continue observing and look to the data.

As expected.

Remedy:

recognising trickery and slippery excuses

Any VC has to keep an eye on funding, linked to world class research quality and citation of work by peers.

MotleyCRU's uni was 28= in 2008, every little helps.

Thanks for 2nd photo. So how long does a new spot normally take to appear, and how long does it last for once it's there?

How can periods such as the current minimum have been predicted, and presumably using that theory how long will it last do you think?

I would be interested in hearing about threads similar to this which are based in other countries. Particularly the US, if you can find any, link away.

Smith & Jones haha.

BBC1's The One Show at 7pm had Delia Smith as a guest. They were disussing the Cumbrian floods, and Delia said she's taking it all very seriously now, wearing extra clothes and turning the heating down.

There's nothing worse than watching gullible celebs preaching Man Made-up Global Warming.

You've forgotten that Phil Collins "Nonce Sence" interview...

Q time tonight has Melanie Phillips on, even if the direct question is not selected by the BBC stazi editorial team I'm hopeful she'll raise the subject at some point.

"Climategate: this is our Berlin Wall moment!"

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/...

"I’ve just had a great, very sympathetic interview about Climategate on LBC radio (London’s main commercial news and talk station) with Petrie Hosken. She told me she has been simply inundated with callers, all of them utterly unconvinced that human influence has made any significant on so-called “Global Warming”. She was desperate to get a few balancing calls from people who do believe in AGW but just couldn’t find any.

Can you imagine this happening a year ago? Or even a month ago? Until Climategate, we “Sceptics” were considered freaks – almost as bad as Holocaust deniers – beyond the pale of reasonable balanced discussion. Suddenly we’re the norm. Climategate has finally given us the chance to express openly what many of us secretly felt all along:

AGW is about raising taxes; increasing state control; about a few canny hucksters who’ve leapt on the bandwagon fleecing us rotten with their taxpayer subsidised windfarms and their carbon-trading; about the sour, anti-capitalist impulses of sandal-wearing vegans and lapsed Communists who loathe the idea of freedom and a functioning market economy.

We know it’s all a crock and we’re not going to take it.

This is our Berlin Wall moment! They can’t stop us now!"

Let's hope....
