Here at the Revo, we have always known that the phony baloney, plastic banana, silicone implanted, anthropogenic global warning hoax was about as authentic as Nancy Pelosi’s stretched and botxed mug. For me, just knowing that the issue has been highly politicized with hundreds of billions of dollars riding on the ability to foist fear off on a gullible public was enough to make me doubt its reality. Still, it has been a bitch to prove it is a flimflam job without catching the alarmists with a proverbial ace up their sleeves. It would appear that the alarmists have just played that fifth ace.

The fifth ace is 160 MB of emails in which political hacks, masquerading as scientists at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in England, along with their fellow con men around the globe, collude and conspire to cook the books, hide the facts and generally create a scary fictional representation of reality with which to frighten their worldwide audience. Here are some of the sordid details.

There is a lot of damning evidence about these researchers concealing information that counters their bias. In another exchange, Mr. Jones told Mr. Mann: “If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone” and, “We also have a data protection act, which I will hide behind.” Mr. Jones further urged Mr. Mann to join him in deleting e-mail exchanges about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) controversial assessment report (ARA): “Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re [the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report]?”

In another e-mail, Mr. Jones told Mr. Mann, professor Malcolm K. Hughes of the University of Arizona and professor Raymond S. Bradley of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst: “I’m getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act!”

At one point, Mr. Jones complained to another academic, “I did get an email from the [Freedom of Information] person here early yesterday to tell me I shouldn’t be deleting emails.” He also offered up more dubious tricks of his trade, specifically that “IPCC is an international organization, so is above any national FOI. Even if UEA holds anything about IPCC, we are not obliged to pass it on.” Another professor at the Climate Research Unit, Tim Osborn, discussed in e-mails how truncating a data series can hide a cooling trend that otherwise would be seen in the results. Mr. Mann sent Mr. Osborn an e-mail saying that the results he was sending shouldn’t be shown to others because the data support critics of global warming.

Repeatedly throughout the e-mails that have been made public, proponents of global-warming theories refer to data that has been hidden or destroyed. Only e-mails from Mr. Jones’ institution have been made public, and with his obvious approach to deleting sensitive files, it’s difficult to determine exactly how much more information has been lost that could be damaging to the global-warming theocracy and its doomsday forecasts.

The rent seeking con men who are part and parcel to the hoax are now busy scrubbing their files of other evidence of their scam, the damage, however, is done. These emails combined with already existing mountains of evidence that science actually has had very little to do with the greatest non-scientific hoax ever perpetuated puts the scam to bed once and for all.

All that remains now is for Jones, Mann, Hanson and the rest of the hucksters to retire to Nigeria and start broadcasting emails promising recipients tens of millions in carbon credit funds if they will just send them, please, US$1,000 in the form of a money order as a bank processing fee. Then the circle shall be compete.
