“Climategate”: Peer-Review System Was Hijacked By Warming Alarmists
- Text size

Monday, Nov 23, 2009
One of the most striking revelations to immediately emerge from the “climategate” scandal has been references to efforts by scientists espousing the human-caused warming theory to exclude contrary viewpoints from important scientific publications.
Among the thousands of emails and documents hacked or leaked from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University last week are several references to an agenda to shut down scientific debate on global warming by stifling counter-evidence from other scientists.
Dating back to 1996, the emails show that both U.S. and U.K. based scientists referred to any research offering alternate viewpoints as “disinformation”,“misinformation” or “crap” that needs to be kept out of the public domain.
The emails include deliberations amongst the scientists regarding efforts to make sure that reports from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change include their own research and exclude that of dissenting scientists.
In one of the emails, Phil Jones, the director of the East Anglia climate center, suggested to climate scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University We “will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”
This is a startling quote, given that Jones and Mann as climate scientists have the authority to review papers and determine whether they are eligible to be published by scientific journals.
Mann even discussed how to destroy a journal that had published papers with contrary views, telling his colleagues that he believed it had been “hijacked by a few skeptics on the editorial board” who had “staged a coup”.
“Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal.” Mann wrote.
In another of the emails, Tom Wigley, climate scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), says that the journal in question, Climate Research, “encourages the publication of crap science ‘in order to stimulate debate’”.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Wigley also wrote that a group of 50+ scientists could be gotten together to put their names to a letter to add weight to the claim and hopefully help to remove the editorial board of the journal.
Other emails show that some of the scientists declined to make their data available to independent scientists whose views they disagreed with, clear evidence that they were simply unwilling to engage in scientific debate – a core ethic of the scientific community.
Renowned climate scientist Dr Tim Ball sums up the stunning gravitas of the leaks with regards to the process of peer-reviewing and the publication of papers on climate change in journals.
“What you’ve got here is confirmation of the small group of scientists who, by the way, Professor Wegman who was asked to arbitrate in the debate about the hockey stick, he identified 42 people who were publishing together and also peer-reviewing each other’s literature.” Dr Ball explains.
“So there’s a classic example of the kind of thing that bothered me. About twenty years ago, I started saying ‘Well why are they pushing the peer review?’… And now of course we realise it’s because they had control of their own process. That’s clearly exposed in these emails.”
“On a global scale it’s frightening because this group of people not only control the Hadley Centre, which controls the data on global temperature through the Hadley Climate Research Unit but they also control the IPCC and they’ve manipulated that. And of course the IPCC has become the basis in all governments for the Kyoto protocol, the Copenhagen accord and so on….”
We have long covered the fact that the so called “scientific consensus” on global warming is wholly manufactured and that there are thousands of scientists who have differing viewpoints to the human-induced warming theorists.
Indeed, over two years ago we reported the fact that a survey of over 500 peer reviewed scientific research papers on climate change, written between 2004 and 2007, concluded that less than half endorsed the “consensus view,” that human activity is contributing to considerable global climate change.
We now have clear evidence that a concerted effort has been made by the IPCC connected climate scientists to block dissenting opinion on climate change, regardless of it’s scientific merit.
“This is horrible,” said Pat Michaels, a climate scientist at the Cato Institute in Washington who is directly threatened with physical violence in the emails. “This is what everyone feared. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for anyone who does not view global warming as an end-of-the-world issue to publish papers. This isn’t questionable practice, this is unethical.”
John Christy, a scientist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville attacked in the emails for asking that an IPCC report include dissenting viewpoints, said, “It’s disconcerting to realize that legislative actions this nation is preparing to take, and which will cost trillions of dollars, are based upon a view of climate that has not been completely scientifically tested.”

Way to go Steve! Looks like the media is suppresing this story big time. I doubt if this has any impact on the U.S. Climate Change bill. The sheep are sleeping.

They can suppress it all they want but when the alternative media makes this thing go viral they will have no other choice but to cover this story or it will appear to be a cover up.
Get this out to EVERYONE. We are looking at a MAJOR victory here if we succeed!!

I saw it mentioned in the Sunday paper. It was couched in alleged this and possibly that and not yet confirmed the other. CRU has allegedly been hacked and documents have allegedly been stolen: maybe more next week on page 13 at the bottom under the AA ads.
But it was there in a virtual sense…

It’s the same usual suspects again!
This crap has been going on since JFK 11/22/63.
Oligarchs with their neocon/zionist administrators in media, banking, and law are leading the charge. The CIA and military, industrial, drug running, prison complex is their lap dog.
So watch the main steam media poo poo this thing, and then go on the attack and press for prosecution of the “patriot” hackers.
It’s tyranny and it will only get worse. These gangsters are not happy robbing a city, state or country. They want to rob the world and institutionalize it forever.

Just as Sen. Mary Landrieu (Demo-LA.) takes bribes, so goes Science. We see it in all earth science, politics, business and even in what some call the “Church”. However, it only shows to those of us that love eternal life that integrity is more valuable than money. Those political scientist that advance global warming are crooks and so are those that support the big bang. They will do most anything for a buck.

She forgets she is married!
She is a cock worshipper to be sure.
But you got to wear combat gear.
The smell of the leather and the government issue fatigues turns her on!
So does combat boots clicking on the ground as your hoisting her up on high with your rigid member.

Alex “jarhead” jones
Jarhead became louder, and louder begging C to step outside. That is when Steve, said, and I quote. “I can’t believe you’re acting like this because he called you a Jarhead.” He spun around and focused his fury on Mystery S. When he said “step outside, and I’ll whip you like my -bee yatch-.” Mystery S said OK, let’s go… and led the way. Jarhead hesitated, then followed. As did Charlie (of The Show with No Name) and Kanya (no name co-host, & play toy) with C, and the driver.
Jarheads next brave move was to announce that he had a gun, and began foraging around in his truck. Steve said, oh, now your gonna shoot me you pussy. Jarhead came from the truck with his hand in his pocket, and slowly advanced towards Steve. Steve retreated 2 or 3 steps, then said, “Then shoot me” and promptly nailed Jarhead with a right hook. They both just stood there for what seemed like a long time, then Steve let many more fly.
Jarhead tried to throw one… that’s right, one punch which grazed Steve’s nose… like flicking at a booger. At this point Iggy came out of the studio. Jarhead saw him, and screamed for him to go get Bob. Iggy ran in to do his masters bidding. Steve hit him a few more times. By now Charlie had convinced C and his friend to get out of there. They got in the car, and split. (with Steve) Bob came running out, to see Jarhead bleeding profusely, and shouting “they jumped me with knives!” Charlie disputed this, so Jarhead spit blood on him…So Charlie, bless him, punched him right in that mason jar of a head. When the cops came, Jarhead was ranting and changing his story with each breath… began to talk of his importance… and his families wealth… and his relatives in the FBI!!!

Like many here on this site, we have the upmost respect for Al Gore, I find it difficult to believe he has had anything to do with this massive fraud.
I trust that Al Gore has been fooled like us in believing in global warming, and I expect an upstanding person like Mr gore will rebuke this fraud and those behind the scene, I expect mr gore will spearhead the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this global fraud.

Everyone out there …. PLEASE SEND A LINK TO THIS WEB PAGE TO BOTH OF YOUR U.S. SENATORS AS WELL AS TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN!!!!
Granted, it won’t do any good with die-hards like Nancy Pelosi. But knowing the facts and appreciating just how much the scientific process has been corrupted by politics and ideology just might cause moderate and conservative Democrats to buck their party and vote against any ridiculous “cap & trade” bills that might be proposed … bills which, if enacted, will impose trillions of dollars of costs on an already weak global economy yet won’t do a thing to affect climate change one way or the other.
