Trenberth and Lifting Text Verbatim « Climate Audit
Trenberth’s entire paragraph is actually word-for-word identical to the corresponding paragraph in Hasselman’s Nature article.

Here is my soundbite quote, as everyone wants nowadays.

You wanna say 2010 was the warmest year ever... well, get ready for 2011 being the biggest drop ever.

What caught my attention about the 'Trenberth lifts Hasselmann text' problem is that Hasselmann's words "...to counter the distracting strategies of interest groups whose goal is precisely to deflect from the real problems of climate change" appear to be troublesomely similar to the talking point created by anti-skeptic book author Ross Gelbspan, taken from the inside of the dust jacket sleeve to his 1997 "The Heat is On" book, where it says Gelbspan "...exposes the deliberate campaign by oil and coal interests...to confuse the public about global warming..."

The central basis of Gelbspan's accusation is a 1991 memo phrase that not only appears in Al Gore's movie starting at the 1:12:55 point, but also in two of the three global warming nuisance lawsuits - while all the time being an unsupportable accusation from a memo never seen in its complete context, as detailed in "Global Warming Nuisance Lawsuits Are Based on a Fatal Flaw" http://biggovernment.com/rcook/2010/11/27/global-warming-nuisance-lawsuits-are-based-on-a-fatal-flaw/

If Trenbert is the IPCC gatekeeper as Dr Spencer suggests, one has to wonder if Trenberth spread such the unsupported accusation about skeptic scientists among IPCC scientists, considering the way he used Hasselmann's words and altered then to say "deniers" rather than "interest groups".
