The Climategate Timeline: 30 years visualized

The always sharp Jo Nova tips us to this:

Here’s a Spectacular Poster of ClimateGate covering 3 decades

You have to see this to believe it. Look up close and admire the detail while you despair at how long science has been going off the rails. To better appreciate the past and what was exposed by the CRU emails, the time-line chart consolidates and chronologically organizes the information uncovered and published about the CRU emails by many researchers along with some related contextual events. That the chart exists at all is yet another example of how skilled experts are flocking in to the skeptics position and dedicating hours of time pro bono because they are passionately motivated to fight against those who try to deceive us.

Mohib Ebrahim has created this amazing document. I’ve created a permanent Home page for this beautiful poster that will host the latest updates of this enormous Timeline as a PDF. There are also printable versions in A4, A3, A2, US letter and US tabloid for those of you (like me) who need printed versions to scribble on, and scrawl exclamation marks.

This is the script for the movie, “CLIMATEGATE”.

Page one is 34 inches x 98 inches. Maybe I’ll print page one on the plotter here at work.
I’d love to give a copy to every teacher in my city.

Oops. Should have said 94 inches. Don’t want to be guilty of exaggerating.

All I can say is, wow… And yes, I am also a compulsive margin doodler.
Cheers!

O/T – has anyone checked the Cryosphere Today comparison recently? The last day I can get data for is December 9th 2009.
How peculiar is that?

Thank you. The detail is staggering and Mohib deserves an enormous vote of thanks. I must either buy stronger glasses or print it out a bit bigger!
Equally staggering is the cost and harm that this deceit has brought in it’s wake. The trillions of dollars, pounds, euros etc wasted. The harm to the 3rd world by the headlong rush to biofuels, the trashing of careers of “dissenters”, the harm to communities in the first world infested with rashes of utterly useless wind turbines. The list goes on and on. I’m sure the erudite contributors to this blog can manage many more.
Many professions, including my own, medicine, have regulatory bodies that can take action when professional and ethical boundaries are crossed. Would that there were such a body to deal with these people. They should be barred from publication and teaching.

this is the kind of thing we need to get out there, because the AGW’s are rallying the troops for the conference in mexico.
in the U.S., 1/3 of the senate and all of the house seats are up for re-election, need to let them know we are watching! we dodged the cannon balls at cop15, but can’t let them get so close again.

This is a stunning piece of work by Mohib Ebrahim – what a testimony to the real scope and worldwide extent of the Climate Wars. Thank you, thank you.

Indeed, it is a fascinating poster and, although designed to cover the last 30 years, it starts with 1942. Actually, the cooling started in winter 1940 ( even James Hansen says so), and due to the fact that Andrew C. Revkin resigned from the NYT the other day, and that 70 years ago another great NYT reporter submitted a killing story about weather conditions in Northern Europe only four months after the Second World War has started, a tribute has been written at: http://www.oceanclimate.de/ to praise the excellent reporting, noting that:
“the reporting by James Aldridge from Finland 70 years ago, marked the end of a warming period for almost 100 years and the beginning not only of one of the severest winters in modern history, but also the commencement of three decade of global cooling” ; citing the following text from the NYT (25/12/1939):
<<<24 December 1939: “The cold numbs the brain in this Arctic hell, snow sweeps over the darkened wastes, the winds howl and the temperature is 30 degrees below zero (minus 34.4 ° C). Here the Russians and Finns are battling in blinding snowstorms for possession of ice-covered forests. …I reached the spot just after the battle ended. It was the most horrible sight I had ever seen. As if the men had been suddenly turned to wax, there were two or three thousand Russians and a few Finns, all frozen in fighting attitudes. Some were locked together, their bayonets within each other’s bodies; some were frozen in half-standing positions; some were crouching with their arms crooked, holding the hand grenades they were throwing; some were lying with their rifles shouldered, their legs apart….(T)heir fear was registered on the frozen faces. Their bodies were like statues of men throwing all their muscles and strength into some work, but their faces recorded something between bewilderment and horror.<<<<
Today it is so easy to say: Happy Holiday Season and a New Year 2010!
But may it be so!!

Wow – yes, very impressive.
Scientific American (of old) quality.
What do Scientific American have now – ‘how to talk to a denier’ – what happened to the world?

Michael (13:43:38) : This is the script for the movie, “CLIMATEGATE”.
Michael, why don’t you team up with an older and steadier head, and make that movie?

This is excellent journalism and a poster will last and will be prominent and annoy. They should be produced commercially with ‘fridge magnets. This comment from Jo’s site is a fitting summary……..
Science has come full-circle, taking a page from the medieval Church by using fear and persecution to silence sceptics. The oppressed have become the oppressors. Given that most professional scientific bodies and peer-reviewed journals have been active accomplices in this scandal, one wonders how many other so called scientific consensuses have been similarly engineered and waiting for their own ClimateGates before truth is known.
Yes, one does wonder how many other scientific consensuses have a similar structure. Like a giant vortex, they suck up the faithful adherents and produce an illusion of scientific strength by adherent numbers alone. If, as it seems, the AGW scary story is crumbling, we must be careful that all science is not sucked in.
Merry Christmas and a safe and caring holiday period for all.
Keith.

I just took a look at the amazing PDF — if only it were easier to print the whole thing out! Guess I’ll need to find a commercial printer . . .

This is a great poster for Senator Inhofe to use on the Senate floor.

A technical tour de force and an artistic masterpiece all in one.
A title close to upper left corner of the big sheet sez it all:
”A STORY OF DECEPTION AND INTRIGUE” . . . . .
I might even have written:
A story of politically-motivated and financially-driven deception and Intrigue.
How did objective science ever sink so far ?? . . .
