Given the volume of posts here on the issue and elsewhere, I’ve decided to start a repository for reference purposes.
I’ve added a “Climategate” page on WUWT and put all relevant WUWT posts in it. But I need help in adding more. Here are the details:
- We need additional outside links. You can add these in comments to the Climategate page which is here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/climategate/ You can also see it on the menu bar below the masthead.
- I need a librarian volunteer to help with populating this page. My workload and that of the moderators is getting excessive. I can’t get regular work done as it is. The requirements for anyone who wishes to volunteer are full disclosure to me of who you are, along with email exchanges and a telephone interview. I don’t take the task of giving edit access to WUWT lightly. Its all work and no pay, but it has its rewards.
- I think we need a climategate logo – submissions welcome in comments, just post it up on tinypic or flickr or some web image sharing service and put the URL in comemnts. Please stay away from anything derogatory. Here’s your chance to make an interesting artful contribution.
Thank you for your consideration.
Anthony

Anthony, I can help. I’m out of business and back in school so I’ve got the time to help out.

I may be able to help with #2. I presume you can contact me by my email to discuss.

RE Climategate logo

Yes, I know they are too complicated for a logo, but it’s just to suggest some themes. I would try it myself if I had decent image processing software.

Excellent idea and very needed,
the matter requires a guidance
and a pool as it may otherwise
quickly “Gone with the Wind”,
highest appreciation, best wishes,
and all success!
Climate Depot may be a good source of links?

He’s got a lot of material there already.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Anthony – is this where we should put media coverage too?
The Guardian has just posted this
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/29/ipcc-climate-change-leaked-emails
“There is “virtually no possibility” of a few scientists biasing the advice given to governments by the UN’s top global warming body, its chair said today.
Rajendra Pachauri defended the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the wake of apparent suggestions in emails between climate scientists at the University of East Anglia that they had prevented work they did not agree with from being included in the panel’s fourth assessment report, which was published in 2007.
The emails were made public this month after a hacker illegally obtained them from servers at the university.
Pachauri said the large number of contributors and rigorous peer review mechanism adopted by the IPCC meant that any bias would be rapidly uncovered.
“The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so inclusive, that even if an author or two has a particular bias it is completely unlikely that bias will find its way into the IPCC report,” he said…”

Wow! Great to see your name again!!! I will ask this question before you disappear again – is this paper worth reading:

I would like to remind folks of my site, http://whatcatastrophe.com where, when registered, folks can upload repository items up to 11mb in size (useful for graphics, zip files, etc) for reference from other sites. Also, anyone without their own blog who would like to contribute can leave me a message in the forums there.
I’ll also add a link to the ClimateGate page.
As for a graphic, I’ll see what I can come up with.
Keeping pace with the story is Bishop Hill
http://bishophill.squarespace.com/
On the FORTRAN side L’Ombre de l’Olivier is one of many blogs that have analysis of the weaknesses and misrepresentation endemic to the code base
http://www.di2.nu/200911/23a.htm
Many more code analyzers are among technical traders, many of whom write code to get predictive cues from massive datasets so they can better play the market. Would any of those links be welcome? The Code side of this is its own story and one that may be worth a subspace on the ClimateGate page.
First Ever Climategate Debate?
Under the logo you could put the following verses from Dante (my translation):
Ma se le svergognate fosser certe
di quel che ’l ciel veloce loro ammanna,
già per urlare avrian le bocche aperte;
If the sluts of Firenze knew
what heaven has in store for them
they would be screaming by now.
Dante, Purg 23. 106-108

Might be useful as a bit of light relief.

Climategate makes the editorial/opinion page of Dallas Morning News. It should be front page, but maybe it is a start.

Hello Anthony and team,
Good luck with this. I find this site informative. It is a catalogue of publications on both sides of the debate.
http://www.climatedebatedaily.com/
It is run by two NZ academics. It takes no position, but simply provides the resource for people to read various papers and articles.
All the best to you.
Peter
Anthony,
I found comment #14 in this thread illuminating, it is written by a nuclear engineer, and to my undrstanding the physics is sound.
http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2009/11/28/climategate-time-to-postpone-copenhagen/
He writes in comment #77 that “Anyone that would like to copy / use my Post # 14 may do so.”, so I suggest that you copyit to the climategate page.
Best Regards,
Invariant
I may be able to help (semi-retired IT/Scientist)
Just made a logo you could use for your Climategate page. Its a JPEG of a man hiding in a delete bin. I can e-mail it.
REPLY: Hard to share with readers that way. Can you post it to http://tinypic.com/ (free) and share the URL here? – A
Invariant (12:19:51) :
is this paper worth reading:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0707/0707.1161v4.pdf
No. Its 115 pages don’t come to the point; they ramble on with trivial stuff that are not connected to the various claims made. E.g. section 1.2 ‘Problem background’, waxes on the difference between concentration by volume and by mass, without giving any background information at all. And so it goes, through the rest of the paper. Halfway through, if someone asked you what you have learned or what the take-away message is [apart from all the falsification claims that are just stated but not demonstrated] you might, as I was, be at a loss. Perhaps some enthusiasts could cut through the jabber and lead me to the falsification demonstration. I couldn’t find it.
Logo submission – done in about 5 minutes.
