I've examined various versions of "Climategate" though am far from an expert on it.<br /><br />We should all take an interest in true skepticism, but I've watched the global warming argument over the last couple of decades, and my impression is it followed the normal course of scientific debates, much like the idea of continental plate tectonics from "pretty far out but important if true", to controversial thesis with opinion about equally divided to "studies look conclusive but it has such important consequences it needs to be demonstrated in as many ways as possible" to finally, scientists talking about a consensus. Probably you can always find somebody with a degree who disagrees with the most widely accepted scientific thesis, but I think those who've really followed scientific debates would tell you, scientists take a lot of persuading to start using the C-word (consensus).<br /><br />On the other hand, when I look at the conservative blogosphere, I see time and time again things that make no sense and turn out to be easily disproven showing up in 10s of thousands of hits (though you often see those with something to lose, like Rush Limbaugh maintaining their silence on the most easily debunked rumours). Often, I think, nobody in the MSM (Mostly Sane Media) is even aware of these claims, or they just don't take them seriously because they are so silly (like the $200 million per day figure, on Obama's India trip), and so millions of people may still believe them years later.<br /><br />Anyway, so far my examination of Climategate seems to show a handful of emails singled out from about 2000 where somebody said something suggestive, but subject to more than one interpretation.<br /><br />Also, I find the "power grab" not at all convincing. What I see is those on the center-left generally (1) thinking the scientific community is more trustworthy than the remarkably "message disciplined" right, and (2) despite it costing them loads of votes, they are sticking with it and the only plausible explanation I see is they mostly see it as the right and responsible thing to do.Hal Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662079870429206811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711691711292789727.post-54422268223602546912010-11-08T09:33:45.030-08:002010-11-08T09:33:45.030-08:00Global warming "science" is a shameful f...Global warming "science" is a shameful fraud. <br />For the definitive summary of the corrupt "science" behind global warming, see Lord Christopher Monkton's report, "Climategate: Caught Greenhanded!" -- available in pdf format at this location:<br />http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/climategate.html<br /><br />Also, you can see/hear Lord Monkton speak on the subject with these videos:<br />part 1 of five on Youtube:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBQYlIikLBM<br /><br />He is one of my heroes.Loretta Weiss-Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169631501140118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711691711292789727.post-22658292685237187242010-10-31T18:51:34.915-07:002010-10-31T18:51:34.915-07:00I have not written or done anything on this blog f...I have not written or done anything on this blog for weeks. Well, I read this comment, tried work out what it was talking about, and sighed and groaned a lot.<br /><br />"It's newsworthy if it's part of a trend?" Try a little harder; e.g. every person who attends a Tea Party meeting is part of a trend, but if Joe Blow went to a meeting in Canterbury, PA that isn't necessarily newsworthy. It's not that easy to decide what's newsworthy, let alone, to determine that the SSM (Somewhat Sane Media), by not reporting on something, is being unethical, doing a coverup, or whatever.<br /><br />All I can say in general re this comment is I've done a preliminary job of following up on it, and so far am not impressed.<br /><br />You may call something "well known" while from my point of view all that is going on is that claims are being made all over the blogs that you read.<br /><br />From the sound of it, somebody in the UK trying to promote the need to respond to global warming made a stupid and repulsive ad. People on the right make scores of stupid and repulsive ads, blog posts, etc., etc., and the MSM pays very little attention. But is that a liberal conspiracy? And despite all the stupid and repulsive right wing blogs, if I want to refute Milton Friedman or Ludwig Von Mises, I have to did into what they said and/or what has happenned in the world as a result of following their policies (some of it good, but far too much of it bad IMHO).Hal Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662079870429206811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711691711292789727.post-65386353368338549742010-10-17T09:42:40.566-07:002010-10-17T09:42:40.566-07:00It is newsworthy if it's part of a trend.
