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.
That’s not just a chronicled visualization, it’s an indictment. Anyone who hasn’t downloaded it needs to, as it’s a mind-boggling read. The only defense against something like this is litany of mantra-spewing generalities, in the hope that all the many questions can be put to rest by deflection, denial, scientific-ish double-talk, appeal to the manufactured illusion of consensus, and ad hominem attacks.
Fantastic job.
Also in the weather is not climate department…
It sure is cold! Imagine how cold you would be spending the night outside, let alone trying to sleep under a newspaper. As Christmas approaches and we all look forward to spending happy times with our families and friends, try to remember that a lot of folks will have nothing to celebrate except perhaps a warm breeze outside a jam packed soup kitchen before trudging off under an overpass to wonder what went wrong in their lives. Find someone who deserves a better fate and give them a nice warm jacket. Or a couple pairs of long underwear. Gloves are always good, not to mention scarves and boots. Go to McDonalds and splash out on some gift certificates and had them around. This can be a cruel world, and this is a particularly nasty time if you’re down on your luck. I am not so hardened that I can’t spare a few bucks for a fellow human in need. No matter how small a gift, it can be the difference between life and death. I should know. When I was much younger, on my second Christmas away from home, I was wandering the streets of Vancouver; cold and lonely, wondering why I should bother. I was sitting at a bus stop when a lady who must have lived nearby and saw me still there after many buses had come and gone walked up and asked me if I had eaten. I must have looked like a wild man yet she had the courage to offer me a hot meal. After a fine spread of turkey and all the fixings, she handed me a card with a name and phone number on it saying it was a man she knew that was looking for help at his garage and that I should go and see him. Well, 30 years later I am self employed and providing incomes for several families other than my own thanks to that wonderful woman. I never forget where I was back then, and every chance I get I try and drag some other sorry beggar back from the edge. Like I said, even the small things go a very long ways, at this time of year especially.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Wrong, they already have planned a meeting in Bonn in six months from now.”
AFAIK that’ll be a meeting of ministers. No big. If the Chinese can topple the big big COP15 Bonn will be childs play for them. Remember: Any decision must be agreed by *ALL* the nations. They would all have to do whatever China dictates if they want an agreement. Which they won’t.
We must peer review the information in the PDF and correct any falsehoods. We don’t want history to be rewritten again.
The Download is GREAT!
What a work of Art & Science!
Mazel Tov!
INGSOC, you brought a tear to my eye, that is a beautiful story. Bless you!
We are all in agreement that a lot of data from different sources is needed in order to engage in climate science, and that this work needs to be audited and evaluated in a variety of directions.
Related to this is economic and social data. This includes global estimates of economic activity from the World Bank and IMF, forest cover estimates from the UN FAO, and population estimates from the UN Population Division.
The UN is the source for global population estimates, which is produced by taking piecemeal national censuses of varying quality and applying assumptions to coordinate it to single year estimates.
If global population in 2010 was really 6 billion or 7.6 billion instead of the current estimate of about 6.8, this would have a significant effect on our perception of human impact.
Not only should climate science and data be audited, but also the other data sets that comprise the total understanding of the world’s environmental status which create the perceptions that influence public policy initiatives

“Any decision must be agreed by *ALL* the nations. They would all have to do whatever China dictates if they want an agreement. Which they won’t.”
I predict that what they’ll try do will be the UN equivalent of “redefine the peer-review process” – i.e. they will try to change the “all nations must agree” rule such that only a few nations must agree before the agreement becomes mandatory.
It is critical for these scurrilous people that they succeed.

u.k.(us) (14:32:35) :
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’ll give up eventually…..and blame it all on the scientists. the scientists that were pushed, prodded, enticed and possibly threatened to produce the results they wanted. other scientists thinking “there but for the grace of god, go i” ??
“-the document is absolutely huge, it must be millions X millions of measuring units in all directions, so it is pretty big alright !”
…to paraphrase “The” numb scull
Correction:
I believe on the gif image at Jo Nova there is a reference to Hanson instead of Hansen!
OT, BBC reports at 23:26 GMT, Wednesday, 23 December 2009:
“US president Barack Obama says people are justified in being disappointed by the outcome of the Copenhagen summit on climate change.”

So where can I buy a full poster, Z-folded and ready to mail?
Regarding the climate conference in Bonn next June:
Climate Change and the Media
Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum 2010, 21-23 June 2010, Bonn, Germany
Excerpt:
“The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum 2010 will address and assess the pivotal issues that have consigned the world to such a precarious state and seek a viable way out by looking at the role of the media on an international, national and local level. The 2010 conference will bring together media users and producers, scientists, peace keeping and conf lict prevention specialists, energy industry experts, policy makers as well as representatives from international, grassroots and non-governmental organizations to discuss how to harmonize individual and collective action in order to steer the world away from a foreboding future and instead toward genuine sustainability. The role the media play in this process will consistently be in focus during the three-day conference.”
This could be their last hurrah as far as media propaganda goes. There are certainly more battles ahead.
Darn, forgot the link:

I submitted this to Slashdot and reddit. We’ll see what happens
why don’t we try to get this on digg? if anything can penetrate their thick skulls it’s an infographic.
Keith Minto (14:56:11) :
“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.”
Genomics, proteomics, stem cells, and the like – the problem with those is not so much a false dogma but the absence of reason and an overdose of hype. The cure for cancer, Parkinson’s, diabetes, you name it – it’s all around the corner, and the gigabucks sucked up by these monsters drain the more conventional, methodical areas of research.
Sidney Brenner, one of the world’s most eminent molecular biologists, summed up the typical proteomics or genomics study: Low input, high throughput, no output.
It goes back a bit further 🙂
Joni Mitchell wrote in 1968:
Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.
Kevin Trenberth wrote in October 2009:
How come you do not agree with a statement that says we are no where close to knowing where energy is going or whether clouds are changing to make the planet brighter. We are not close to balancing the energy budget. The fact that we can not account for what is happening in the climate system makes any consideration of geoengineering quite hopeless as we will never be able to tell if it is successful or not!

Uh Oh, sounds like a Generalanschiss for the media. Hmm, how to say it in english? Ah yes: They will go apeshit on the journalists for not delivering enough propaganda. Poor hacks.
This is AWESOME!!!! Going to run to Kinko’s and have it printed wall sized!
Great stuff!
Thank you very much! And Merry Christmas To All!
Great stuff Mohib and Jo. A Very Merry Xmas and Successful New Year to all the main players in the ‘A’ team and their enthusiastic, if less talented,supporters(ie me) Similar wishes for the members of the ‘H’ team and their supporters, but a bit less of the success (not personally, of course, but scientifically). Thank you Anthony and Steve in particular, I thought I was the only one in the village( UK readers only)
Stan maybe ice is back to normal and they CT don’t want you to know LOL

Steve (Paris), exactly what I was going to ask myself. Does the truth need a fund raiser?
NASA comes up with another cause for arctic ice melt and it isn’t CO2:

An excellent summary although rather difficult to read on screen.
The graph of global temperatures from Hansen et al, Science 1981 is interesting. It shows steady warming from 1880 to 1940. By contrast hadcrut3 shows cooling from 1880 to 1910, then warming to 1940 !
Reducing the warming from 1880 to 1940 is obviously in CRU’s interests, in order to exaggerate the more recent warming, to promote their scam.
Can anyone explain the difference ?
