Climate Change Bombshell: Dr. Tim Ball on the hacked CRU emails

Corbett Report

Retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball joins us to discuss the significance of the recently leaked emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University which expose deceit, duplicity and collusion between climate researchers to maintain the fraud of the manmade global warming theory. These emails reveal stunning behind-the-scenes details about how this fraud has been developed and perpetuated, and Dr. Ball shares his insights on what they show.

Lateline: Private climate documents hacked, published

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4VKrBtUcQY

Some of the world’s leading climate scientists have been embarrassed by the publication of hundreds of private emails and research documents, which were stolen by computer hackers from a British university. Climate change sceptics have hailed the material as proof that research data has been skewed and suppressed.

Alleged CRU Emails – Searchable

http://www.anelegantchaos.org/cru/

On 20 November 2009, emails and other documents, apparently originating from with the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.

If real, these emails contain some quite surprising and even disappointing insights into what has been happening within the climate change scientific establishment. Worryingly this same group of scientists are very influential in terms of economic and social policy formation around the subject of climate change.

As these emails are already in the public domain, I think it is important that people are able to look through them and judge for themselves. Until I am told otherwise I have no reason to think the text found on this site is true or false. As of today, Saturday 21 November, there have been no statements that I have seen doubting the authenticity of these texts. It is here just as a curiosity!

Some minor tweaks to the search and browsing functions:

You can now search for a filename by typing the number (with or without the .txt extension)
Results have had some tweaks to the weighting, you still get exact matches first, and then keywords from your phrase. Still removing some common English words from this, but getting there!

Added a basic keyword counter which will show you the kind of the texts that are being looked for.
There is an option when browsing to show 10, 25, 50 or 100 emails at a time. (Hint, you can put any number less than 100 in the pp= part of the query to get that number of results. I’m limiting this to 100 at the moment, on current usage the search will use about 2Gb transfer per day, I don’t want it to go much farther than this.

I really just made this because I really couldn’t see me going through the sheer number of text files in any realistic fashion. This will help me find emails that are being discussed on forums and blogs I read.

But this page is now being hit a lot, so I feel it only fair that I tell you what I am hoping to get done – and for you to send me suggestions or ideas (or tips). I’m hoping to get the time tomorrow to also make the various Word and Excel files online and searchable, and also to do what I can with the text from the PDF files (some might be easier than others). I am also hoping to get some improvements done to the overall search box to make the results weighted to number of hits for main keywords / filter out unimportant words (you, me and I) and make the tool more useful.

The entire thing is running off a single mysql database and three main php scripts, the emails are parsed automatically into the database and there is also another file that I made earlier that generated hard copy html files just to get something online. If anyone wants to host a copy all you need is a php/mysql system – drop me a line and you can have all the source.

While he received little mainstream media coverage in Australia, the New Zealand media has been more receptive. The Wellington paper, The Capital Times, ran a full-page article about him and the attacks of 9/11 in this week’s edition, which is described by Wellingtonian 9/11 truth activist, Helen Waddington, as “Absolutely fantastic!”….[]

Hacked E Mails: Climate Scientists Discuss “Hiding Decline” In Temperatures

Keith Johnson
Wall Street Journal
Friday, November 20, 2009

Well, this should get interesting.

The Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain was hacked yesterday, apparently by Russian black hats, and thousands of sensitive documents, including emails from climate scientists dating back a decade, were posted online. More here.

Officials at Hadley, a leading global-warming research center, have apparently confirmed to an Australian publication that the documents are genuine.

The whole affair has much of the blogosphere alight. Blogs skeptical of man-made global warming see blood in the water.

Some of the old emails from scientists made public apparently make references to things like “hid[ing] the decline,” referring to global temperature series and different ways to slice and dice climate data.

Full story here.

EU President: “2009 is also the first year of global governance..”

South Australian State Government wants right to detain sick people

Adelaide Now

JILL PENGELLEY
November 20, 2009 12:01am

HEALTH authorities want the power to detain people for up to three months if they refuse testing or treatment for infectious diseases.

Under draft legislation proposed by the State Government, someone with swine flu, measles or meningococcal disease could be forcibly held, examined and treated.

It is one of several wide-ranging powers sought to protect the public.

The Public Health Bill also would, for the first time, give authorities the power to override parents who refused treatment for their children with infectious conditions.

Other diseases that could be controlled include AIDS, polio, rabies, salmonella and cholera.

The tougher enforcement powers would come with a substantial increase in fines – up from $60,000 to $1 million and 10 years’ jail – and relate to any serious risk caused to public health. SA Health public health director Kevin Buckett said the new legislation would give authorities wider powers to act more quickly.

“There’s nowhere on Earth that is more than 36 hours from anywhere else and where people go, bugs can go,” he said yesterday.

“We have to have legislation that can respond in that sort of time.

“The idea would be that we get them out of circulation, where they can’t infect other people.” Dr Buckett said there were many reasons people refused treatment, including mental health issues, language barriers and even malicious behaviour.

Non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, could also be declared, allowing the Government to introduce codes of practice for certain industries or the community. Opposition health spokesman Duncan McFetridge said he supported powers to protect the public from infectious diseases but feared parts of the Bill – to be debated next year – would allow the Government to control people with chronic conditions.

“It’s bordering on nanny-state legislation,” he said. “It’s understandable but how far do we go?”

Australian Medical Associat- ion state president Andrew Lavender said he welcomed most of the changes. as important to protect the public.

Black Hawk training exercises over Brisbane

Courier Mail
November 12, 2009

BRISBANE residents shouldn’t be concerned if they see army Black Hawk helicopters circling above the city in the next few weeks.

Four Black Hawks cruised over the CBD yesterday doing several loops around the city’s high-rise buildings and the Story Bridge.

Up to six helicopters will be involved in day and night training exercises this month, which will involve more than 90 army personnel.

The Black Hawks have travelled from the army’s Holsworthy base in Sydney and will remain at the RAAF’s Amberley base over the coming weeks.

The army’s sixth regiment’s chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew MacNab, yesterday said southeast Queensland residents should be aware of the training but not alarmed.

“We are conducting a number of training missions over Brisbane and the area around Brisbane,” he said.

“This training is essential to ensure that we maintain a high level of readiness and expertise and contingencies that the Government may call upon us to respond to.”

He warned there would be some noise disruptions but the army would try and minimise the impact on residents. The exercises will run from Monday, November 16, to Friday, November 27.

4 Corners: The man-made climate change “debate” in Australian “politics”

Malcolm and the Malcontents

Reporter: Sarah Ferguson
Broadcast: 09/11/2009

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2009/s2735044.htm

Reporter Sarah Ferguson goes inside the conservative parties to find out what the party members really think about climate change and why they’re so reluctant to back their leader.

In October Liberal Party leader Malcolm Turnbull said, “I will not lead a party that is not as committed to effective action on climate change as I am.”

It was a potentially dangerous strategy because it tied his leadership to a single issue. Just how risky that declaration was is only now becoming clear.

At that stage coalition MPs had clear doubts about supporting an emissions trading scheme but now a range of Nationals and Liberals have told Four Corners they don’t believe that climate change is primarily man-made.

“The earth is not actually warming, we still have rain falling … we can go outside and not cook.“

“If the question is, do people believe or not believe that human beings …are the main cause of the planet warming, then I’d say a majority don’t accept that position.”

This may surprise many voters and it’s led some to ask if Malcolm Turnbull’s position as leader is now untenable.

The problems for the opposition leader are reinforced by Liberal insiders who say his handling of the issue was a “folly”. Another says Malcolm Turnbull is simply too “green” for the party he leads. Yet another senior figure justifies his refusal to support his leader’s views by saying it’s important for him to openly question the idea that man is changing the climate at all.

One man who does defend Malcolm Turnbull and his approach to this thorny issue is Shadow Resources and Energy minister, Ian Macfarlane. He believes …

“Well Malcolm … wants to show that we are a modern party … it’s part of the change, the evolution from John Howard to Malcolm Turnbull.“

Others disagree. They say the decision, in 2007 to embrace the concept of man-made climate change and create a policy supporting an emissions trading scheme, was a mistake that was forced on the party by the opinion polls of the time and the proximity of the federal election.

“In 2007, and post 2007 I have to say as a party we were intimidated by the force of the climate change debate. It just seemed to be an issue of the moment.“

To make matters even more complicated for Malcolm Turnbull, the Nationals leader in the Senate, Barnaby Joyce, has told Four Corners that the Liberal Party has betrayed the bush. He says he will argue against the scientific view that man has created climate change and warns that he will conduct a campaign in regional seats against any deal that would deliver a new tax on regional voters:

“I think we are going to win on the ETS. I think it’s going to be blocked in the Senate and we’ll end up with a double dissolution.“

This view that an election could be fought and won while opposing major greenhouse gas reductions is at odds with Malcolm Turnbull’s view that the Coalition must have a strong policy on greenhouse gas reductions or face electoral ruin.

To test this Four Corners commissioned a review of polling done in the past two years relating to climate change and voting intentions. That review makes it clear that concern amongst voters about climate change has “softened” over the past eighteen months.

The poll however also shows that while support for the Labor Party as the best party to manage this issue has fallen slightly, the voters have not transferred that support to the Coalition. The research review offers some intriguing insights into the dangers for any party with this issue, warning that climate change cannot be viewed in isolation from other factors, like costs and job losses.

All this makes the current negotiations over amendments to the proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme legislation significant, not just for the environment but the future of the Coalition and the leadership of Malcolm Turnbull.

“Malcolm and the Malcontents” will go to air on Monday 9th November at 8.30 pm on ABC 1. It is repeated on Tuesday 10th November at 11.35 pm.

 

PM Rudd attacks “World Government conspiracy theorists” via Lowy Institute

November 6, 2009 | The Australian | PM Rudd

(Full transcript in above link).

Excerpt:

The truth is this is hard, because the climate change skeptics, the climate change deniers, the opponents of climate change action are active in every country.

They are a minority. They are powerful. And invariably they are driven by vested interests.

Powerful enough to so far block domestic legislation in Australia, powerful enough to so far slow down the passage of legislation through the US Congress. And ultimately – by limiting the ambition of national climate change commitments – they are powerful enough to threaten a deal on global climate change both in Copenhagen and beyond.

The opponents of action on climate change fall into one of three categories.

·        First, the climate science deniers.

·        Second, those that pay lip service to the science and the need to act on climate change but oppose every practicable mechanism being proposed to bring about that action.

·        Third, those in each country that believe their country should wait for others to act first.

Together, these groups, alive in every major country including Australia, constitute a powerful global force for inaction, and they are particularly entrenched in a range of conservative parties around the world.

As we approach Copenhagen, these three groups of climate skeptics are quite literally holding the world to ransom.

·        Provoking fear campaigns in every country they can.

·        Blocking or delaying domestic legislation in every country they can.

·        With the objective of slowing and if possible destroying the  momentum towards a global deal on climate change.

As we approach the Copenhagen conference these groups of climate change deniers face a moment of truth, and the truth is this: we will need to work much harder to reach an agreement in Copenhagen because these advocates of inaction are holding back domestic commitments, and are in turn holding back global commitments on climate change.

It is time to be totally blunt about the agenda of the climate change skeptics in all their colours – some more sophisticated than others.

It is to destroy the CPRS at home, and it is to destroy agreed global action on climate change abroad, and our children’s fate – and our grandchildren’s fate – will lie entirely with them.

It’s time to remove any polite veneer from this debate. The stakes are that high.

The first category of those opposed to action is the vocal group of conservatives who do not accept the scientific consensus. This group believes the science is inconclusive and does not provide an evidentiary basis for anthropogenic climate change.

In Australia, before the 2007 election, this group was thought to be relatively small. There appeared – for a time – to be bipartisan consensus on the need for action on climate change. In recent times, this bipartisan support has frayed.

————–

A third argument from those who quibble with the design of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is that the international design aspects of the scheme are flawed.

Lord Christopher Monckton – a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher – was quoted this week in the Australian press by Janet Albrechtsen. Lord Monckton describes the potential Copenhagen agreement as a plan to set up a transnational “government” on a scale the world has never before seen. Enter the “world government” conspiracy theorists.

Lord Monckton also publicly warned Americans that “in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy and your prosperity away forever.”

Janet Albrechtsen, in her understated neo-conservative way, refers to the potential Copenhagen agreement as a UN “power grab”. This gaggle of world government conspiracy theorists are so far out there on the far right, that they rub up next to the global anarchists of the far left.
