Yah, I get it. Still nothing specified, just a buzz headline about some "hacked emails". As if that's going to disprove the entire science of climatology and the decades long warnings from various scientific organizations, including NASA and the EPA, backed by raw data from systems like NORAD. What the denialists have is political buzzwords, repeatedly smashed propaganda, and now yet more of it with some unspecified "email hacks".

Why don't you engage the alleged damning evidence? Because there is none. Don't waste your time repeating the same thing. It won't get answered. Either prove how the content of some emails totally rebuff an entire scientific field, or just carry on with yourself.

This "buzz" headline is hitting everywhere.
Because you say there isn't any evidence doesn't make it so.
I think the links to many reliable news sources other than Fox News (the best news source) such as CBS and other which you simple dismiss the content of these articles. Not to mention the countless other scientific agencies inside the CBS article is proof enough that the data could be faulty. It would be foolish for any scientist or government to ignore such possible faulty data.

Much of the data from these universities is where government entities acquire their data. This is how this data gets to "NORAD".

There seems to be more than just a couple of E-mails hacked. More like 160 megabytes of E-mail, source programs and data.

Ok, no answer, just repeating. You keep reading blogs and TV "news" while feeding your hyperbole. Intelligent people will stick with the facts.

What do you consider "News" then?
This news is everywhere in all of the media.

Also read the
UK article before sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the facts of what could be world changing, before just trying to be what you think is politically correct.

"aimed at manipulating climate data to show that Global Warming was occurring"

List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taken from the first post, which you forget to comprehend. It not about headline "hacked" but the CONTENT of those emails that is SUCH A ISSUE. You also went on to pull attacks out instead of actaully dealing with Sangetsu posts, which HAVE A LOT of information on said subject.

I mean when the congress starts to address this issue, it's getting pretty big (the emails). that is not to say how far this corruption has spread. I would kinda of understand it, when you devout your life to a ideology there's a chance to want to forge false information when it starts to NOT add up. that still does not make it justifiable when even if it creates awareness to protect the planet. People need to be held accountable here.

Another thing, saying intelligent people will stick to the facts, is calling ones who don't believe in Global warming non-intelligent. that's a personal attack. If you know anything about Ad hominem They kill any point you try to make.

Global warming happens, it's a natural cycle every 500 years. Hell, Britian used to grow grapes 300 miles further north than they do now. The whole "Global Warming" PC buisiness is simply a motos operendi for a world government to usurp sovereignty from everyone.

Man can't change the Global enviroment that much, CO2 exchange rates are no different now than they have ever been. In fact, the earth has been cooling for the last several years. The US had it's coolist summer on record. That doesn't mean people can't change local climates or enviroments, that they can do, as the Dust Bowl proved. Nor does it mean we should stop trying to utilize green energy.

However, I put no stock in Global warming or thier idiot answers, wich are nothing more than ways to decrease the US's standard of liveing and destroy it's economic/industrial ability.

LOL, how many climatologists? Probably more podiatrists, if any legitimate climatologists at all. There is actually only one climatologists who challenges man-made global warming, and he doesn't presume to deny it, only spins the degree of it; he is also attached to corporate interests. I can elaborate if necessary. All these denialist points have been argued and shot down before ad nauseum, to no avail, it seems. I could offer literally 1,000 sources and it wouldn't satisfy any denialist.

Look I told you before to stop insulting people. slanging around podiatrists in a negative sense is insulting to both actual and other professions.

Way to also try to doge the actual thread in discussion. These e-mails point to a broader issue of corruption in the scientific community. It comes back to Al Gore when he grossly lied in an Inconvenient truth (but I guess you going to try to deny that claim also, might want to take that up with the British Government also...).

As it stands in light of th e-mails how trustworthy would those Sources even be? THAT is exactly the issue here.

THE MANHATTAN DECLARATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change,

Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the scientific method;

Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life;

Recognising that the causes and extent of recently-observed climatic change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed ‘consensus’ among climate experts are false;

Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing human suffering;

Noting that warmer weather is generally less harmful to life on Earth than colder:

Hereby declare:

That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems.

That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change.

That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate.

That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation, and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples.

That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis.

Now, therefore, we recommend –

That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as “An Inconvenient Truth”.

That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith.

Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008.


that would be an interesting read for you.
