[Prof. Stephen Clark] It should not pass unstated that the predictions you allude to of increasing strength and frequency of Caribbean hurricanes were based on models. These models were based in part on data acquired by the CRU and others, but are based and rely to an even greater extent on a host of other assumptions.
So little said of so much interest | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
The refusal of the mainstream media to properly cover the great global warming conspiracy revealed in the CRU’s leaked emails is in marked contrast to their readers’ interest in hearing more. Check the most-viewed counters of those papers and sites that have at least mentioned it...
Curry: On the credibility of climate research « Climate Audit
...the broader issue is the need to increase the public credibility of climate science. This requires publicly available data and metadata, a rigorous peer review process, and responding to arguments raised by skeptics. The integrity of individual scientists that are in positions of responsibility (e.g. administrators at major research institutions, editorial boards, major committees, and assessments) is particularly important for the public credibility of climate science. The need for public credibility and transparency has dramatically increased in recent years as the policy relevance of climate research has increased. The climate research enterprise has not yet adapted to this need, and our institutions need to strategize to respond to this need.
The Climate Change Scam Unmasked
The apocalyptic climate change scare has always been a incestuous scheme by which some unprincipled scientists were able to wrest major research funding from governments and institutions, and thus stay employed and published. They have been aided and abetted by left-wing politicians and journalists who knew that supporting the climate change doomsday theory was a way to look caring and politically correct while advancing the only potent anti-capitalist agenda left after the fall of Communism. Scientists who push findings supporting a man-made climate change doomsday get their grants and stay gainfully employed, while giving their benefactors, left-wing lawmakers and big media, the alleged "scientific" basis for stories and laws that bash capitalism. And just as during the Cold War, we have misinformed fellow travelers, including some conservatives, who repeat the climate change mantra on cue for the microphones.
