Highlights for me so far are
Phil Jones - head of the CRU - couldn't work Excel well enough to plot a trend to refute a sceptics enquiry.
Rob Wilson - a researcher working FOR the CRU - was able to easily reproduce the hockey stick by just feeding their climate models white noise. Ooops.
Other recuring themes:-
Much higher levels of uncertainty when talking to each other privately than they ever admit in public.
Endless attempts to make sure that anything that didn't agree with the consensus was not only never published but that the researcher and offending editors were blackballed. Meanwhile papers they admitted in private to being low quality - but from on message "team" players - got published without negative comment and usually fast as well.
Maybe the science is settled, but the behaviour of some of the key scientists absolutely reeks. |
Totally agree.... I'm also surprised that no one is talking about this, then again the news isn't either.
My issue with it is that this has not been about science, but rather about a political agenda. This has become about promoting global governance, global taxation, and global wealth redistribution. I used to be very heavily involved in environmental groups, and on the local level, I still am, but over the last 25 years I've watched the big ones become all about a political agenda, rather than the environment.
