Off topic for this post, but something I have been following, and if you care about it and our civil liberties then you will be aware of it to.

I cannot believe that the whistleblower (or hacker if you want to give it a negative spin as do the mainstream press who have invested a ton of cash in environmental correspondents over the past few years), has released everything the/she has in one go.

Why? Well two reasons.  To cause maximum damage, there has to be more once the initial storm abates.    It also acts as an insurance policy and bargaining chip if they get caught.

So for me, this is the first part of what is something that is beginning to smell very bad indeed.  Poor and fudged figures used by the politicians to beat half the world into economic servitude while simultaneously giving them carte blanche to tax their own populations into the ground.  Hmm, I’m not convinced are you?

If you are, just do a search for one of the leaked documents the “harry read me file” and see how convinced you are then by the figures given to the IPCC by the UEA CRU.

As for global warming, or climate change as I call it because the climate has been changing constantly since the big bang, I prefer to rely on 400 thousand years of evidence in making up my mind rather than 1000 years of fudged data created by a team whose leader, Phil Jones, can write stuff like this:

“I seem to be getting an email a week from skeptics saying where’s the warming gone. I know the warming is on the decadal scale, but it would be nice to wear their smug grins away.”

Here is something a lot more solid to answer the question about why the planet is hot right now:

Now you know the truth.
