The video showing the climate research work of Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT and Steven McIntyre of Climate Audit is now up on YouTube. One of the most compelling portions of the program has to do with the erroneous reversal of the Tiljander sediments, and Dr. Michael Mann’s stubborn refusal to acknowledge his error, even though other authors of peer reviewed papers have done so. In my opinion, salvation of the hockey stick seems to trump the salvation of good science practice.
The investigative journalism here is refreshing, and well done. It’s the sort of thing CBS 60 minutes used to do.
Here is part 1, a transcript link follows:

Anthony,
If you are comparing the “journalism” of this piece to 60 minutes it is a sad commentary indeed. 60 minutes has NEVER been about anything but “gotcha” hit pieces. They have ALWAYS been fraudulent and dishonest, even more so than some of the criminals they purport to expose. I know, I have seen it up close and personal (they weren’t after me). What they do with the truth is absolutely criminal. So to compare the Finnish folks to what 60 minutes used to be is a pretty severe insult to their integrity. I would hope you would reconsider that.
Carl Sagan, in his book ‘The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” also extolled the exquisitely detailed and painstaking research by Johannes Kepler and his laws of planetary motion. These laws are still applicable today. Sagan then went on to say that Kepler, a believer in a heliocentric universe, was dead right on planetary motion, but dead wrong in his belief the sun orbited the earth. I think this applies to AGW. I’m sure some of the individual climate research by competent scientists proves singular issues that are true. However, in the broader context of proving AGW it is, as Sagan said about Kepler, dead wrong.
There is evidently a clear case for legal implications here if true
Also there is an english subtitle version (see CA)

Here is the brilliant link you mention.

I appreciate that you guys find my contribution helpful. To be honest when I saw this I edited it and put subtitles in 1 night without sleeping. A lot of thanks to Anthony for a great find. This sums up pretty much a huge discussion over fabricated data..
Keep up the good work!!
