Anyone remember "climategate?" We do.

Editor's notes: It happening last November 20 (2009). Even in the midst of a concerted effort to hide the truth, thousands of emails were leaked to the public out of England, recording conversations between climate scientists discussing efforts to manipulate evidence that threatened the desired - or should we say 'predetermined' - conclusions of a host of leading scientist. It turns out that the scandal involved a great number of dedicated climatologists on both sides of the Atlantic. In one case, an email from the Director of the Climate Research Unit , in England, was sent to Penn State scientist, Michael Mann, referencing manipulative work underway, to mitigate certain facts that challenged the supposed data of the U.N. 2007 report which presented "man-caused climate warming" as a fact. In part, the email said this:

. . . . . . . . .“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie . . . . . . . . . .from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

The 'decline' that is mentioned is the declining number of temperature increases previously used to support the thesis of global warming. What is most sad, in all this, is the fact that the national and world-wide media was and is complicit in this scandal. It took the three major networks in this country (ABC, CBS and NBC) 13 days to issue their first reports. Actually, NBC, owned by GE, waited 14 days to issue its report. It is believed that NBC waited an additional day in an effort to avoid the charge of 'media collusion.'

Understand that GE and its CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, are in bed with the climate change industry. It owns NBC and MSNBC. At the time, GE/Immelt was on track to make billions of dollars from contracts with the Obama government making windmill engines and reconstructing parts of the national electric grid.

Of the 130 or so stories reported on climate change by the three networks in the five months following the November revelations , only 13 made mention of the climate/email scandal, and, several of those stories trivialized the matter. No mention (during this time) was made of an a second email, this one sent from Kevin Trenberth, the lead scientist in three UN reports pushing its "man made" conclusions, to, once again, Michael Mann (Penn State scientist and author of the "hockey stick" illustration used in reporting 'global warming' :

“The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.” Source: hyperlink

Since then, stories of collusion are rampant in Europe (see the U.K. Telegraph story) , not to mention efforts of hiding the true facts from the public.

Point of post: At any rate, the story bears a reminder. The reader is referred to a great expose' in the Business and Media Institute found here.
