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.

Saved and forwarded. Reading through it now, but outstanding work.

How important was Michael Crichton?
Does he deserve a blue box?
For example this lecture of 2003
http://www.michaelcrichton.net/speech-alienscauseglobalwarming.html
I only read it earlier this year, and dunno his impact at the time.
In particular the analogy with the ‘science’ of nuclear winter and with passive smoking is helpful in understanding how this could happen. Who wants to be on the side of the badies (war mongers, drug peddlers, oil barrons)? etc.
So many folks refused to look at the science because they trusted the scientists and could not understand how there could be a motive for peddling alarmism…whereas the anti-alarmism side had a clear motive – just like the anti-passive smoking folks. Climategate may now work to break the trust in science, but pre-climategate Crichton seemed quite advanced in his understanding of what was going on. But as I say, I dunno his impact and so his historical significance. And perhaps there were others before him…

I sincerely thank you for that reminder that fighting men do the unthinkable for the love of freedom ( from a retired Marine).

Climategate global warming deception “much worse than thought.” The AGW CRU plot is “accelerating at a much faster pace….” Jones and CRU team may be “facing extinction quicker than originally anticipated.” AGW theory may “completely melt by summer of 2010.”

Fabulous! Al Gore is shouldn’t have much trouble perusing this 94″ inch-wide document on his triple-30″ Apple Cinema Display setup…

In December of 1944 my late father-in-law got a tour of the Belgian forest
a little thing called the “Battle of the Bulge” his account, usually after a couple of slugs of Jack Daniels, was one of cold, misery, and death.Tiger Tanks, too.
Thanks ,Carl.
That said, the unravelling continues….

This is the script for the movie, “CLIMATEGATE”.
I think I would prefer “Hide The Decline”

That´s for Glenn Beck´s blackboard, hope he will attach some photos on and a flowsheet of all associates.

This is truly a great Christmas gift to mankind.. As a nazism survivor I appreciate the revelations deeply, a step to freedom. Thank you all, who worked so hard lately and for years. Your devotion made it happen.

A superb piece of work.

Looks like a TimeMap timeline, an awesome application. Good work. Everyone needs to send a copy to their Senators and to Lisa Johnson.

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.
Wrong, they already have planned a meeting in Bonn in six months from now.
As we write this message Brown is traveling the world collecting signatures to get the Copenhagen Climate Agreement effectuated after all.
They won’t give up.
They know that if they wait to until Mexico they are dead.
So yes, it’s good to have the fraud compacted and visualized like this.
Spread the news, post at any blog you know.

Keith Minto (14:56:11) : “Yes, one does wonder how many other scientific consensuses have a similar structure.”

“The Sound Of Settled Science
What would we do without peer review?
Fraud rocks protein community
The finding by a university misconduct investigation that a crystallographer “more likely than not” faked almost a dozen protein structures has left the field in shock. The fraud is the largest ever in protein crystallography. The disputed structures had important implications for discovering drugs against dengue virus and for understanding the human immune system.
“It’s massive,” protein crystallographer Wayne Hendrickson of Columbia University in New York says of the investigation’s conclusion. “It’s the worst possible thing.”
In a report released earlier this month, the University of Alabama at Birmingham concluded that H. M. Krishna Murthy acted alone in fabricating and falsifying results that appeared in ten papers published during the past decade. The disputed papers have been cited more than 450 times.
I know what you’re thinking.
There’s a protein community?

Great, the entire scam compacted like a Readers Digest article.
Fantastic. This is what we need. Spread the info.
Many thanks Mohib Ebrahim, Jo Nova and Anthony for publishing this.

There are other areas where the goal of global government is being achieved:
International Criminal Court, International Standards Organization, etc, etc.
Climate Change is but one on these “projects”.

Letter size is 404 Missing. I hope it’s readable at 1200dpi.

I suppose someone else has already speculated thusly, but reading some of the e-mail on this document (pretty darned fun thing to pore over–just like an old Nat’l Geo map), I wondered if the leaker of the e-mails might be one of the gang themselves. Perhaps one or the other was deciding the effort to suppress, hide, run, manipulate, and so forth had become too stressful.

Great piece of work. I’ve forwarded it to several press agencies and university Earth science depts so far.

December 23, 2009 4:21 pm

Wow, shocking–I am amazed! That chart is incredible!
Senator Inhofe does need a full-sized copy.
Better than that, how do we send a full sized copy to each senator?
I wish I had access to a plotter…I need a copy of that thing.
Mr. Ebrahim, thank you.

BBC: Obama says disappointment over Copenhagen is valid

US president Barack Obama says people are justified in being disappointed by the outcome of the Copenhagen summit on climate change.
But he said in an interview with with US PBS television’s Newshour that at least there had not been too much “backsliding” on previous positions.
