This just breaking—there are thousands of mew emails that have been leaked from alarmist community at Britain’s East Anglia University Climate Research Unit (CRU). These are the same scientists that were involved in the original climategate fiasco back in 2009. As the Washington Post is noting (HT Jon Sanders):
This second batch deals less with the science underpinning climate research than how some of the world’s prominent scientists framed the issue, and recruited colleagues to serve on panels such as the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
One of the more damning quotes is from an email written to Phil Jones the former head of the CRU, by the head of the UK’s meteor. Again, according to email to Jones as quoted by the Post:
Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a wealth of others. This is just downright dangerous. We need to communicate the uncertainty and be honest. Phil, hopefully we can find time to discuss these further if necessary […]
James Delingpole, writing for the UK Telegraph, describes the new release of email as follows:
Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Ben Santer, Tom Wigley, Kevin Trenberth, Keith Briffa – all your favorite Climategate characters are here, once again caught red-handed in a series of emails exaggerating the extent of Anthropogenic Global Warming, while privately admitting to one another that the evidence is nowhere near as a strong as they’d like it to be. (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100119087/uh-oh-global-warming-loons-here-comes-climategate-ii/).
Stay tuned, I’m sure there’ll be more to come.
