Dan Weiss from the Center for American Progress seems to have more than a little trouble with this interview. I wonder why they didn’t ask Joe Romm to be on?
Left to right: Michaels and Weiss
Here’s the video description as posted on YouTube:
Hackers broke into thousands of emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University last week and uncovered the global warming conspiracy.
Stuart Varney interviews scientist Pat Michaels, with the CATO institute, who was the target of physical threat from Climate Scientist Ben [Santer]. He also DESTROYS Dan Weiss, from the Center for American Progress.
Calls for an independent inquiry into what is being dubbed “Climategate” are growing as the foundation for man-made global warming implodes following the release of emails which prove researchers colluded to manipulate data in order to “hide the decline” in global temperatures.
In an interview with The Washington Times on Monday, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) announced he would probe whether the U.N.s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not.

I guess I wouldn’t have such a hard line on all this if these idiots weren’t trying to tell me how to live my life, when they know, and are fully cognizant, that their reasoning is total crap.
That’s what pisses me off. They know they are lying, but don’t care. Lunatics and scumbags, all of them.

I can tell you haven’t read the e-mails, yet you feel confident in commenting on one of them. Here’s the e-mail in question:
He’s not talking about any “cooling meme”, he’s not talking about wood density, he’s talking about temperatures and replacing the temperatures derived from tree ring data with temperatures from instruments.
This is known as a splice or a graft, which the inventor of the trick is on record as saying “know one would ever do” (paraphrase).
Most folks familiar with this subject know exactly what’s going on. Those who are somewhat confused can see a very clear explanation here.

Unless of course, you have joined the rest of us and question the validity of tree rings as thermometers. I suppose if what you’re saying is the temperatures derived from tree rings are not “real” temperatures…
Hmmmmm.
John M (19:18:45) :
…he’s talking about temperatures and replacing the temperatures derived from tree ring data with temperatures from instruments.
So you seem to be saying that Anthony’s claim, here:
“…emails which prove researchers colluded to manipulate data in order to “hide the decline” in global temperatures.”
… is completely false – That there was no such ‘decline in global temperatures’ being ‘hidden’.
Thanks, I agree.
Icarus (05:00:24) :
It does appear we agree. Tree rings do not represent global temperatures.
Thanks for being so reasonable.
Weiss’s big dagger was that Bush believed the lies he was fed. So how many other people have believed those lies. AGW is founded on lies so so far there are millions of believers. Governments are acting on lies. It is hard to describe how deep these lies have undermined science and government. It is not even clear that government will own up to this huge deception. To my mind this dwarfs watergate as it is international in nature with the corruption affecting every country.
