CLIMATEGATE'S SMOKING GUN: THEY ILLEGALLY DELETED FILES RATHER THAN RELEASE TO AN FOIA REQUEST - A CRIME

• SCIENCE IS PREDICATED ON PEER REVIEW.

• THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD REQUIRES THAT HYPOTHESES BE TESTED AND THAT THE TESTS AND DATA BE REPRODUCIBLE FOR ANY INDEPENDENT OBSERVER AND ALL OTHER SCIENTISTS.

• BUT RATHER THAN SHARE DATA, THE AGW ALARMISTS WITHHELD IT - AND EVEN DESTROYED SOME WHEN CONFRONTED WITH A FOIA REQUEST.

• THE EMAILS SHOW THIS WAS A PREMEDITATED RESPONSE AND NOT INADVERTENT.

Jones tells Mann that he is sending station data. Says that if McIntyre requests it under FoI he will delete it rather than hand it over. Says he will hide behind data protection laws. Says Rutherford screwed up big time by creating an FTP directory for Osborn. Says Wigley worried he will have to release his model code. Also discuss AR4 draft. Mann says paleoclimate chapter will be contentious but that the author team has the right personalities to deal with sceptics.(1107454306)

• THIS IS A FEDERAL CRIME HERE AND A CRIME IN THE UK, AND A CRIME AGAINST SCIENCE.

• THIS DECEIT HAS LED TO A VAST DISTORTION IN OUR ENERGY MARKETS THAT HAS COST HUMANITY TRILLIONS.

• YES: TRILLIONS: BY MAKING CO2 A BAD-GUY THEY HAVE RETARDED EXPLOITATION OF ALL ENERGY SOURCES WHICH EMIT CO2.

• THIS HAS HELPED DRIVE UP THE PRICE OF ALL OTHER ENERGY AND AS A RESULT ALL GOODS AND SERVICES.

• THESE SCIENTISTS SHOULD BE INDICTED,M TRIED, CONVICTED FINED AND JAILED.

IF THEY WERE DRAWN AND QUARTERED IT WOULD BE TOO GOOD FOR THEM.

AND ASSHOLES LIKE GORE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO FINS OUT IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THE FRAUD.

EXCERPT (THE NUMBERED LINK TAKES YOU TO THE ACTUAL EMAIL!):

Funkhouser says he’s pulled every trick up his sleeve to milk his Kyrgistan series. Doesn’t think it’s productive to juggle the chronology statistics any more than he has.(0843161829)

Tim Osborn discusses how data are truncated to stop an apparent cooling trend showing up in the results (0939154709). Analysis of impact here. Wow!

Phil Jones encourages colleagues to delete information subject to FoI request.(1212063122)

Mann tells Jones that it would be nice to ‘”contain” the putative Medieval Warm Period’. (1054736277)
