Well, well, well… It would appear that the email server at Britain’s leading Climate Research Unit has been hacked and, surprise surprise, the climatologists therein are playing fast and loose with science. In fact, it would appear that many of these scientists are way more interested in politics than they are research and discovery. Not only do they expresse elation when a scientist who disagreed with their research died they happily collude to cover up scientific facts they don’t like because they proves them wrong.

Here is a sample of the fun….

Some of the most embarrassing e-mails are attributed to Philip Jones, the Director of the CRU; Keith Briffa, his assistant; Michael E. Mann of the University of Virginia; Malcolm Hughes at the University of Arizona; and others. One such e-mail makes references to the famous “hockey-stick” graph published by Mann in the journal Nature:

I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

As a bonus, here is Senator Inhofe telling Barbara “call me Senator” Boxer that on the subject of climate change, we one, she lost and to get a life.

A moment of fun here for Senator James Inhofe, who declared victory over the global-warming hysterics this week in a speech covered by the Tulsa World. Inhofe got a few laughs from a nearly-empty room by telling Barbara Boxer that the failure of the dire predictions of disaster from last decade to come to pass showed that he had been right all along, and that they could now “stick a fork” in the effort to hobble American productivity through the restriction of carbon emissions:
