Too Hot to Handle: The Naked Truth

Why we Can't Trust the News Media, #5,843

We've Investigated Ourselves and Find No Wrongdoing

A Panel at East Anglia University and paid for by East Anglia University investigated the CRU at East Anglia University and found no wrongdoing.  Here's the biggest criticism they could muster:

"The question that arises was openness in relation to how that science was then being challenged, being discussed, and the commerce that there was between them and critics and critics and challengers right round the world," he said.


Also criticised was a graph prepared for the World Meteorological Organisation, showing temperatures from 1850 ticking up sharply at the end of the 20th century.  The inquiry found the graph was misleading, but not intentionally so.

I heard they all celebrated by going off with Al Gore for a congratulatory massage...

Levi Johnson Apologizes to the Palins

"...To the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion....I hope one day to restore your trust."

I guess the whole naked celebrity wanna-be thing must have played itself out... 

Google news returned a whole six news items about this.  But what do you expect from a news media that investigated an Ohio plumber more than it investigated a presidential candidate from a major party?

The Liberal View: Voters are Childish and Ignorant

Liberal government nannyism encourages childishness, so it's no wonder liberals compare us to children

Jacob Weisberg at Slate has written an article calling American voters childish and ignorant.  Read the article and it's clear he's tacitly hurling the charge at rightwing tea partiers.  We rail against Big Government while we collect our Social Security checks.  Oh, the hypocrisy!

Meanwhile, the Global Warming Fairy Tale Continues to Unravel...

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.


And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.(Daily Mail)

Get that?  The arrogant "scientist" who powered the entire global warming scam, including the hockey stick, has just admitted that there has been no global warming in the past 15 years. 

Add to that the Himalaya Glacier Fraud, Chinese temperature stations fraud, and countless other international swindles stacked upon this junk science dung heap.  Regardless, liberals in this country refuse to let go of the myth. 

So tell me again who the childish and ignorant are?

Here in the Real World, Science is a Workhorse, not a Fetish

Another day brings more exposure of the scientific fudgery by the East Anglia gang...

David Holland, a private citizen with an electrical engineering degree, has been filing Freedom of Information requests, and the East Anglia gangsters have been violating the law by snubbing him.  They've also been hiding or destroying data, which is really illegal. (Source:  Telegraph)

A grandfather with a training in electrical engineering dating back more than 40 years emerged from the leaked emails as a leading climate sceptic trying to bring down the scientific establishment on global warming.



David Holland, who describes himself as a David taking on the Goliath that is the prevailing scientific consensus, is seeking prosecutions against some of Britain's most eminent academics for allegedly holding back information in breach of disclosure laws.

How did these ivory tower "scientists" view Mr. Holland's requests?

In one email dated May 28, 2008, one academic writes to a colleague having received Mr Holland's request: "Oh MAN! Will this crap ever end??"

Mr. Holland, with his humble bachelors degree and 40 years of real-world experience, has a better understanding of scientific methods than these charlatans do:

"These guys called climate scientists have not done any more physics or chemistry than I did. A lifetime in engineering gives you a very good antenna.

It also cures people of any self belief they cannot be wrong. You clear up a lot of messes during a lifetime in engineering.

I could be wrong on global warming – I know that – but the guys on the other side don't believe they can ever be wrong."

How true.  In the real world, you solve real problems--or you don't.  In the rarefied air of theoretical academe, you spin tales for your financial benefactors, especially when they are guilty, rich Westerners with a science fetish:

Himalaya Glaciers Melting?  Follow the money!

It can be revealed that The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), whose director is Rajendra Pachauri, the chair of the IPCC, was awarded a portion of two grants, which were worth a total of almost £3 million for research on the glaciers after the inaccurate claims were published. (Telegraph)

This is why free speech is so important.
