TagsTagsDavid Hone, climate change advisor for Shell Oil, has an excellent comment about the phony scandal drearily dubbed “Climategate:” Just what is in a “political agreement”? I think that the science now tells us more than enough to warrant action. Certainly there remain uncertainties, but not on the issue as ...
As the phony scandal dubbed (with mind-numbing banality) “Climategate” continues to descend into a black hole of ever-widening stupidity, one of the claims currently making the hot rounds of the right wing blogs is that one tiny bit of source code from the stolen CRU files contains one comment that ...
Released a little while ago at the website of the University of East Anglia: CRU Update 1 December - University of East Anglia (UEA). Professor Phil Jones has today announced that he will stand aside as Director of the Climatic Research Unit until the completion of an independent Review resulting ...
The latest recycled claim from the climate denialists: Climate change data dumped. SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations ...
Another right wing group working overtime to capitalize on the stolen CRU email “scandal:” the dishonest creationist wackos at the Discovery Institute. And as usual, they take the idiocy to a whole new level, claiming that the CRU emails discredit all of modern science. Yes, really. The Sensuous Curmudgeon has a ...

Andrew Revkin has a good summary of the fallout in the scientific community from the stolen CRU emails: Hacked E-Mail Data Prompts Calls for Changes in Climate Research. Some prominent climate scientists are calling for changes in the way research on global warming is conducted after a British university said ...
The incredibly stupid CRU-gate story just got even stupider. The right wing is now suing NASA. And yet, it’s still not weird enough for me.
Hilarious. Yesterday the Drudge Report linked to Tim Lambert’s Deltoid blog at ScienceBlogs — because Drudge mistakenly thought that Lambert’s post debunking the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition’s dishonesty was actually supporting them. As soon as Drudge realized Deltoid wasn’t a climate denial site, he removed the link. (Just in case ...

Here we go again, as the climate denial front group called the “New Zealand Climate Science Coalition” tries to cash in on the stolen CRU email story, by floating another false claim about temperature readings — a claim dutifully circulated by dozens of right wing blogs, of course, with no ...

In the stolen climatologists’ email story, the latest claim making the rounds of the right wing blogs (originating at Britain’s right wing paper the Daily Mail) is that a BBC correspondent was sent the stolen emails a month before they were made public. Sounds juicy, doesn’t it? So juicy that at ...

The Washington Post’s Andrew Freedman interviewed science historian Spencer Weart about the stolen climate science emails (known at the more hysterical blogs as the “scandal of the century”); Weart has a good perspective on the nontroversy. Andrew Freedman: What effects do you think this will have on public perceptions of ...
