Global Warming farce? - 11-22-2009, 02:59 AM

For those of you who haven't heard about it, "hackers" recently "broke into" a computer server at the University of East Anglia in the UK. There, the hackers made off with a large number of emails and documents which had been exchanged between UK and US Climate Change scientists.

Uncovered was a intricate conspiracy aimed at manipulating climate data to show that Global Warming was occurring, when in fact, it was not. Scientists exchanged ideas on how to fudge and manipulate data sets and combine them with known information in order to alter trends. http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/hadley_hacked#63657

Other emails detailed strategies to silence global warming "skeptics": The global warming conspiracy: its silencing of the sceptics | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Apparently the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in Australia didn't believe that Global Warming was occurring quickly enough, so they asked that data be modified even more to make it seem even more scary: The global warming conspiracy: how it massaged data and hid truth | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

In recent years more than $4 billion (a conservative figure) has been spent on Global Warming research, and to try and find methods to combat it. It looks as though the money was spent merely to frighten the people of the world into giving their governments more power to combat a problem which didn't really exist. The scientists who supported this "theory" were funded by the same governments, being paid to come up with results which suited their sponsors (the "gravy train" as the scientists call it). Your tax dollars hard at work.

These emails not only uncover evidence of a conspiracy to lie to the public, but also show evidence of criminal activity. News stories are reporting that the information was stolen by "hackers", but it's beginning to look more like the information came from a source working within the university itself.

It will be interesting to see which way the media goes with this story. Will a global warming conspiracy sell more news than global warming stories would? That will be the main focus of their attention, of course, facts are irrelevant.
