Pajamas Media » Charlie Martin: Global WarmingGate: What Does It Mean?
If we do accept them as authentic, though, they truly are incendiary. They appear to reveal not one, not two, but three real scandals, of increasing importance.
...
at least on this first look, it appears that the three scandals are:

    * First, a real attempt by a small group of scientists to subvert the peer-review process and suppress dissenting voices. (For another look at this, by a respected climate scientist who was one of the targets, see these posts on Roger Pielke Sr.’s blog.)  This is at best massively unethical.
    * Second, a willingness to manipulate the data to make a political case. This is certainly misconduct and possibly scientific fraud. This, if it proves true, should make these scientists subject to strong disciplinary action, even termination of their tenured positions.
    * Third, what gives every appearance of an actual conspiracy to prevent data from being released as required by the Freedom of Information Acts in the US and UK. If this is proven true, that is a federal crime.

Charles Martin, writing at Pajamas Media has done an incredible job in sorting through the material from the CRU computers put online and is making sense of it. He says the material appears authentic (and to date no one has disputed its authenticity), "incendiary," and predicts they will have a seismic impact on the scientific community, shaking the foundations of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and the reputations of a number of scientists who were the principle proponents of that theory.

Each of his conclusions is supported by the reference numbers of the online documents which support it.

there is no better example of a dominant social theme - an elite promotion - than global warming. The money trail is obvious, the lack of response to obvious data that contradicts the meme is crystal clear, as are the reprehensible and urgent cries of warning from the elite's paid bureaucratic functionaries.

Here's a prediction. The Copenhagen convention to reduce global warming gases will go on as scheduled (there is too much money at stake) and some well-paid entertainer from the United Nations (or some other organization) is going to stand in front of the podium and solemnly explain that the world is about to burn to a crisp unless "we" take action within the next days and weeks. Will you turn off your refrigerator and sell your furnace? We won't. And we'll still eat hamburgers (and steak when we can afford it).
