Radical editors still rule Wikipedia climate change propaganda
A week ago we posted the article,
Wikipedia’s climate change doctors, which spoke of a group of radical climate change believers who in an attempt to remove the “Medieval Warm Period” from existence and to instead jam the hockey stick up our ass, coordinated efforts to alter Wikipedia’s climate change pages. One person in ths nine-member Realclimate.org team — U.K. scientist and Green Party activist, William Connolley, created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles.
Since he and his cohorts were exposed by Lawrence Soloman in the Financial Post, fair and balanced Wikipedia members have been trying to correct the pages. But, Connolley and his brethren are back. And so are their distortions. Soloman said in his December 23 followup that in the three days following his expose, the Wikipedia page for the Medieval Warm Period, as an example, was changed 50 times in battles between Connolley’s crew and others.
The “rediscovery” of the Medieval Warm Period (through data and the doubting global warming scientists themselves, as revealed in the now famous climategate emails) has since widely discredited hockey stick graph, the supreme icon of the global warming religion. As you can imagine, the fight over this graph is the of the hottest battles. And the propagandists at Wikipedia have triumphed–the graph appears at the top of the page for the Medieval Warm Period, as if “the science is settled” still.
Battles over this and many other pages ensued, until finally the Medieval Warm period page, along with many others, were froze from future edits. The hockey stick is intact, as is much other invalid information.
Just as in the offline world, disinformation in Wikipedia continues.
