'Climategate' simply won't stop greens - The Sault Star - Ontario, CA

If you're wondering how the robot-like march of the world's politicians towards Copenhagen can possibly continue in the face of the scientific scandal dubbed "climategate," it's because Big Government, Big Business and Big Green don't give a s*** about "the science."

They never have.

What "climategate" suggests is many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't either. Apparently they stifled their own doubts about recent global cooling not explained by their computer models, manipulated data, plotted ways to avoid releasing it under freedom of information laws and attacked fellow scientists and scientific journals for publishing even peer-reviewed literature of which they did not approve.

Now they and their media shills--who sneered that all who questioned their phony "consensus" were despicable "deniers," the moral equivalent of those who deny the Holocaust--are the ones in denial about the enormity of the scandal enveloping them.

Let’s end with a quote from Professor Phil Jones, apparently writing to John Christy on Tuesday, 5th July 2005:

As you know, I’m not political. If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences. This isn’t being political, it is being selfish.

Can you imagine an epidemiologist who has foretold a catastrophic Swine Flue pandemic saying the same kind of thing and keeping his job?

Obama in Copenhagen: A fleeting presence | Comment is free | The Guardian

The president will briefly turn up en route to Oslo, where he will pick up that premature peace prize, disappearing more than a week before the end of the talks. His fellow politicians were not even planning to be in town at the time – still less ready to seal a meaningful deal. Unless all the plans change, the great orator's visionary keynote will be delivered to a hall packed with the officials who co-ordinate the diaries of those who actually count.

It seems a distinct possibility that the majority of the global warming community have made attempts to prevent scientific data being released, to destroy information subject to FOI requests and to prevent sceptical views being published.
