ClimateGate Returns, It Must Be Time for the World Climate Summit

Conservative group CFACT Executive Director Craig Rucker says, "The release of these emails is yet another major setback for alarmists who are hyping fears over climate change in order to exercise influence over ever-increasing segments of the U.S. and world economy."  

"The real agenda of the climate radicals is to promote massively expanded government regulation worldwide, at the expense of jobs creation and economic growth.  The policies they advocate will do the greatest harm to the world's poorest people and ensure that citizens of developing nations have no chance at true freedom and prosperity," says Rucker.

One email from Ray Bradley, the head of the climate system research centre at the University of Massachusetts, to Keith Briffa, a colleague of Jones at the UEA, said a paper co-authorerd by Jones was "truly pathetic and should never have been published."

But colleagues argued this was just part of the cut and thrust of academic debate. "Reading down these selective quotes, what comes across to me is that climate scientists are a diverse, complex and argumentative bunch, much like any other group of people," said Andrew Watson, Royal Society research professor at UEA. "They argue about the data and trash the models. They bitch about their colleagues … By being sceptical, argumentative and critical of themselves and each other, they are applying the scientific method and slowly iterating towards an understanding of the climate. Which is what you'd hope they would do."
