The edifice crumbles: top climatologist openly breaks with Climategate conspirators
Alabama State Climatologist Dr. John Christy
Christy served as a UN IPCC lead author in 2001 for the 3rd assessment report and detailed in these new revelations he explains how he personally witnessed UN scientists attempting to distort the science for political purposes. But he fell from favour for proposing that the IPCC allow for well-credentialed climate scientists to craft a chapter on an alternative view presenting evidence for low climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases.
“I was at the table with three Europeans, and we were having lunch. And they were talking about their role as lead authors. And they were talking about how they were trying to make the report so dramatic that the United States would just have to sign that Kyoto Protocol,” Christy told CNN on May 2, 2007.
Christy’s statements carry even more weight when we examine the considerable pressure also being applied to him to keep quiet about the cracks appearing in the dodgy science dossiers being churned out for the IPCC. We get an insight into the conspiracy of secrecy Christy was opposing as he is one of the climatologists whose leaked emails are part of the Climategate scandal.
In the leaked CRU email dated Thu, 24 May 2001 11:33, Michael Mann was critical of Christy and scolded him for publicly showing dissent for not agreeing with Mann that 20th century temperatures were higher than the Medieval warm period:
“So do I [Mann] understand correctly that you are referring to the results of Dahl-Jensen et al as conflicting with what we say in the chapter? At the face of it, this argument has no merit whatsoever. I think we should all use a better explanation from you, since you seem to be arguing publically that the Dahl-Jensen et al record undermines what we’ve said in the chapter.”
Professor Phil Jones again tries to indicate the peer pressure they are all under not to make public admissions damaging to their ever more flawed theory in an email sent to Christy dated Tue Jul 5, 2005;
“The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.”
The unrelenting peer pressure being applied to Christy continues, this time coming from Michael Mann. Climatologists, Neville Nichols and Phil Jones discuss the issue in another leaked CRU email dated Wed Jul 6 15:07:45 2005.
“I know I [Nichols] could have asked John [Christy] about all of this, but I suspect he feels a bit over-burdened and harassed at the moment, and I didn’t want to add to the pressure on him, so thanks for passing this stuff on to me.”
Further emails substantiate that the “hockey team” were systematically applying peer pressure to convince Christy that recent weather balloon data (out of kilt with dodgy ground thermometer readings) was, itself in error.
Phil Jones admits, “the sondes [weather balloons] clearly show too much cooling in the stratosphere.”
The fact weather balloons were detecting cooling rather than warming in the tropical stratosphere was a key signal that the whole theory of anthropogenic global warming was probably wrong. Thus, to avoid embarrassment the “hockey team” rounded on Christy to conspire to suppress these facts.
Professor Christy has since proposed major reforms and changes to the way the UN IPCC report is produced. Christy has rejected the UN approach that produces “a document designed for uniformity and consensus.” Christy presented his views at a UN meeting in 2009. “An alternative view section written by well-credentialed climate scientists is needed,” Christy said. “If not, why not? What is there to fear? In a scientific area as uncertain as climate, the opinions of all are required,” he added. ‘The reception to my comments was especially cold’

This gets better all the time. I am really afraid of when they finally discover the smell of my feet is a greater danger to humanity than AGW.
LOL! Rght there you just proved the point that skeptics have a better sense of humour than climate alarmists.
You can’t let he bastards get you down!
Bravo, John.
I know you are standing up for what is right, at great personal and professional risk.
God bless you.
What the humanity needs is more scientists like Dr John Christy with integrity who expose the likes of Mann et al. so that the latter are not allowed near the peer-review process at al, ever!
The whole issue is ridiculous in itself. It really doesn’t matter if the earth is cooling or heating. Climate has changed ever since this planet has an atmoshpere. And warmer periods always were of advantage for life on this planet. The question is not how to avoid a climate change, but how to adopt to it.
Trying to control the climate would be just as dumb as trying to stop a volcano from erupting. Because there is no ‘standardised’ climate. A climate that changes does what it’s supposed to do. Otherwise it wouldn’t be climate.
Actually, I hope it’s warming. If, despite all evidence, in the end it still should turn out that CO2 enhances the warming process, well then let’s pump more of it in the air. Because I’m looking forward to see vineyards in the north of England again. And in case it’s cooling, I’ll get some nice ice skates for having fun on gold old Thames in winter.
Keep in mind that CO2 is not a toxic gas. I am strongly against air and water pollution, but CO2 has nothing to do with that. Let’s concentrate on real issues such as preserving the rainforests. Reasonable measurements to protrect our environment will have a much bigger impact on our quality of life on this planet than blindly concentrating on this dumb CO2-theory that doesn’t add any improvement to our environmental problems. The only thing it produces is billions of dollars for those who will profit from the cap-and-trade bullshit.
I am so grateful to heroes like John Christy. Sadly, for the rabidly faithful true-believers of agw, the staggering amount of information pointing out the massive corruption means nothing to them.
For they have blind faith in Climatism. I don’t mean just their fervent denial of facts and false belief in prophets, I mean Gore via universities and churches is now pushing climate change as religion, complete with prayers. He knows he must indoctrinate this generation of college students and gullible, or his carbon scheme is kaput! (which it hopefully is already). But that blowhard Gore is a fighter, can’t wait to get his sweaty fat palms on more billions.
Read the links I have on my blog. Creepy!

Michele, why not submit articles to http://www.climategate.com? There are plenty of men onto the climategate scam and not enough women!We need your feminine and insightful touch to encourage better balance.
John,
Being brand-spanking new here, I didn’t know I could submit articles. That’d be great since I don’t get huge traffic on my goofy blog.
I wonder if I can submit some I already posted on my blog to start. The one I call Prayer & Propaganda, about Gore’s push to indoctrinate with religion, for example. Gore’s so desperate and creepy (and Yale University is involved) that I want more people to see the levels this greedy monster will go to.
When I get a chance I’ll find out what I need to do to submit and if I can re-post my work.
Thanks for telling me!
What is needed are more John Christie’s ,scientists with integrity.
What is also needed are politicians and “advisors” with more than two brain cells.
Alas somethings are just not possible.
The Dam is cracking… Andrew Neil (BBC)
“The bloggers are all over the UN IPCC 2007 report, the bible of global warming, which predicted all manner of dire outcomes for our planet unless we got a grip on rising temperatures — and it seems to be crumbling in some pretty significant areas. …”

Even Wikipedia was involved into this. Over 5.000 Wikipedia articles have been manipulated over the years by a Wikipedia admin. This guy, his name is William Connolley, is actually a green party activist and was member of RealClimate, a website that propagates man-made global warming. Read the full story here:

If one doesn’t trust the thermometers in the sondes, apparently one must use wind gauges:

Kaboom! Another cannon roars out for truth! For those of us old enough to remember this is starting to feel like the miracle year of 1989. Every shibboleth of the god-awful lying Left cascading to the ground before our jubilant unbelieving eyes. Lord Monckton delivered our St. Crispin’s Day rallying cry, the test of strenght has been held, and although the battle was severe we have come through. Can you feel our ranks swelling day-by-day? No time to rest. Give them no respite.

Let me ask a couple questions. What about the core drilling that was done in the ice showing that the thickness has decreased markedly within the last few years? Is that not true?
Is there a degree from a college in Climatetogy? I can’t seem to find one anywhere. Where are people getting this type of degree so that they use this title?
Will, I’ve been banging on for years that there is no such thing as an academic qualification in climatology – just as there is no such thing as a qualification to be a prophet of doom. But they’re working on it!
I’m puzzled about the CRU defense that goes like this: “How would YOU like your emails published for all to see?? It would be embarrassing , etc, etc. ” Um, no— My business and professional emails never , ever include personal attacks, discussion of ethics violations, etc. because I avoid that. I can’t think of a thing I would be concerned about in that. Most people are the same in this, I thought…

two words, cambrian explosion. 540-488 million years ago, well documented that the earths atmosphere had CO2 levels 16 times that of today. This period saw the greatest explosion in flora growth in the planets history.
WE NEED CO2, get over it warmists, the game is up, you can’t have our cash so feck off
