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.
I wonder if this would be legible if printed on a blanket? I’d make the perfect gift for any AGW alarmist you know. 🙂
“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.”
How about Larry Niven? His “Fallen Angels” has the warm-mongers win and slash CO2 and other “pollution”, which was all that was keeping the coming ice-age at bay.
“In other words, message the data if it shows a decline”
Should be massage the data. The text that’s not direct quotes from e-mails and other documents should be fully proof-read for spelling and grammar.
Correct words, terminology, place names etc must be used. ANY tiny error will be seized upon and screamed about endlessly to draw attention away.
Lefties of all sorts are very good at that tactic, just think back to Dan Quayle’s mistake with a single letter in one word.

>>A GISTEMP/ HADCRUT3 comparison 1880-2009 can be seen more clearly here:

Thanks Chris but the Hansen, Science Aug 1981 graph as show in the pdf is very different to the GISTEMP plot.
The Hansen graph seems to have been reproduced here (and elsewhere):

I’d be most interested as to its origin. Could there be a possibility that CRU have tampered with the 1880 to 1910 region, by increasing temperatures, in order to make the post 1945 warming appear more significant compared to the warming from the LIA ?

The AGW crowd feared and hated him — that’s good enough for me to vote “aye”…
Its like a modern day Beau Tapestry.
Oops ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ 🙂
Doesn’t this just make you so proud to be a “denier”? 😉
no more global warming
FWIW, an easy way to read the document is by using the Loupe tool in Acrobat Reader (Tools/Select&Zoom/Loupe tool). Works great if you have two screens.
Going through it now, checking for typo’s etc. Will let you know if I find any.

Concerning historical temperature graph from various sources, and the question of any anthropogenic impact since the end of the Little Ice Age, it seems necessary to draw more attention to the oceans as the driving force on climate matters. In a previous comment: aber (14:44:05), it was reminded that WWII ended a warming period in winter 1939/40 (*), which continued with further extreme winters and a three decade long global cooling. A big contributor could have been the naval war.(**).
Recently on 04 Nov.2009, a paper was published here at WUWT (and The Air Vent, by Jeff Id), „ Arctic warming goes with the floe, Past Arctic Warming Also Created by Currents, discussing the very pronounced Arctic warming from winter 1918/19 to winter 1939/40, concluding that it had been caused by the West Spitsbergen Current. That it happened in close correlation with the First World War is presumably not a mere coincident but can be strongly linked to the naval war around Great Britain, as all the water masses there will end up a short time later at Spitsbergen before disappearing in the Arctic Ocean, which is discussed
in Chapter 8 at: http://www.arctic-heats-up.com/ .
There is a high likelihood that men contributed to climate change by naval warfare twice during the last Century, and if that can be proven, the question is on hand: what did global shipping contributed since it changed from wind driven to screw driven vessels since about 1850.

“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”.”
I would like to add to that list: The World Trade Organization/OIE/FAO take over of the food supply. Also see the 2006 Global Diversity Treaty: “Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA) a standardized contract that will enable much easier access to crop diversity [ germplasm for patenting] royalty payment (1.1% of sales) is paid only if product is unavailable for further breeding and research. funds will be devoted to conservation efforts.” Translation: Bio-tech Corporations steal seed from third world farmers, patents it and pay money to Bioversity International the forces the farmer to BUY the seed germplasm he developed! And the U.N. Biodiversity Treaty that almost forced Americans an to surrender 50% of our land for “rewilding”
I am not sure will will not find ourselves living in “sustainable” hives with no transportation, forbidden to set foot on the land we once owned.
“Land…cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable….” United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I), held in Vancouver, May 31 – June 11, 1976.

That’s a nice story, Merry Christmas to you (and all) from Norway! Right now it is snowing heavily here…
First of all I’d like to congratulate Mohib Ebrahim on his fantastic work. This is exactly what is needed to get your head around the whole affair.
I’ve also been “peer reviewing” it (I know, that sounds very iffy these days), and so far I’ve found a few little details that I think need some attention.
1) First of all, some of the references to the emails are not correct. For instance the box “Jun 17, 1998” refers to an email as “898099393.txt”, when it should read “0898099393.txt” (note the 0 at the beginning). All references to the emails should be 10 digits (some starting with “0”), and .txt at the end, since that is how they appear in the FOIA2009.zip that found its way to the outside world.
(For those of you wondering what those digits mean, it is the number of seconds elapsed since midnight proleptic Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970.
Take the digits and on the command line of a UNIX/Linux box do: date -d @0898099393 and out pops the date and time : Wed Jun 17 18:03:13 CEST 1998)
2) The box labelled 1992 (Al Gore’s consensus) refers to the GALLOP poll, that should be GALLUP (U, not O).
3) The box labelled 1976 (Climatologist survey…) refers to an article [11], and quotes “…window for escaping tradition.” Now I’m not sure which time honored tradition is trying to escape our atmosphere (perhaps scientific integrity), but I would assume this should read “radiation”. (Unless of course it appears like that in the actual article, then leave it as is!).
This may seem like nitpicking (as opposed to cherry picking), but we’re dealing with science here, so we need to be very accurate 😉 Also, please feel free correct me if I made a mistake anywhere. I’ve shown you all my data and methodology, so fire away!
Merry Christmas to you all, and a warm and CO2-filled 2010!
I can personally vouch for five decades of scientific stagnation (constipation) in nuclear, solar, astronomy, cosmology, and space sciences (1960-present) – all funded by your tax dollars!
Politicians control NAS (the National Academy of Sciences) and allocate tax funds to finance federal research programs that are administered by DOE, NSF, NASA, etc.
NAS reviews the budgets of the federal research agencies for Congress.
Young scientists have been trained with grant funds the way Pavlov’s dogs were trained with dog biscuits.
“Find evidence for oscillating solar neutrinos, the standard solar model of a Hydrogen-filled Sun, the Higgs boson, the Big Bang, formation of the solar system from an interstellar cloud, remote element synthesis, CO2-induced global warming, etc., etc. or lose your funds and your chance for tenure and promotions and a career in science.
That is the way the federal research system has worked since 1960, with a few brave souls in federal research agencies that still tried bravely to slip a few dollars to intellectually honest scoundrels who still believed that science is a scared path to truth and truth is one of the attributes of God.

This poster needs to be:
1. translated into many languages
2. posted at every sceptic site
3. put on huge billboards across the land
4. put on a wall as a huge mural in museums
5. the centrepiece in a yet to be built museum of climate science
I always had th idea of opening a clmate science exhibit. This poster would fit quite nicely on the for walls of a huge room with climate exhibits.
Send this to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, WSJ, and all other like media.
Dear Mohib Ebrahim,
Thank you for the wonderful integration of the Global Warming controversy. Now I can better step back and conceive the bigger picture.

I agree with everything you said, but I would change item 5 to read:
5. The centrepiece in a yet to be built museum of “SCIENCE” designed by an alliance of politicians and scientists and purchased with your tax funds!
“SCIENCE” includes constipation (stagnation) clothed as consensus science in astronomy, climatology, cosmology, geology, nuclear and particle physics and space sciences since at least 1960-present!
We can “get the ball rolling” by including Mohib Ebrahim’s gift to mankind:

Humans do not breed well in confined spaces (cities):
A thermodynamic explanation of politics
I wonder if that is the plan for reducing the number of humans on earth.
Various sizes of the poster (for printing) are available Joann Nova’s site. Go to the section labeled “Announcing The Timeline, Climategate: 30 years in the making,” and see: “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.”
May I add my thanks and congratulations to Mohib Ebrahim. I have just spent a fascinating hour jumping around his poster, which has brought so many strings together.
I would love to have a paper version to show to some of my sceptic (and less sceptic) friends, but being a home user I do not have the facilities to download and recreate the whole poster.
Is there any hope that he or one of your more computer literate bloggers can reproduce the information in article form so that it may be read and stored more easily by we laymen?
Anthony,
I apologize if this has already been stated.
I wonder if you or anyone else have thought of selling a large size glossy color copy of this after the editoral corrections have been made.
It might impress the uninformed as well as giving us a handy reference.
Michael wrote:
“We must peer review the information in the PDF and correct any falsehoods. We don’t want history to be rewritten again.”
Mike’s absolutely correct, it bears repeating and can’t be stressed enough. It’s too powerful, too compelling to tolerate a single mistake on this. If it needs ANY weeding, by all means weed it. Nothing but the absolutely undeniable and irrefutable should remain. Likewise, if someone in the warmist camp takes exception to something claimed that could plausibly go either way, correct it, amend it, or otherwise remove it IMMEDIATELY.
I’m going to China in two weeks, where I’m going to have a giant glossy poster of it made for myself.

As complete as this flow chart is, it is missing two key elements.
1. The history of events that led to the formation of the IPCC. See McLean for that..
http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/climate_science_corrupted.pdf
2. Willian Connolly’s manipulation of facts in Wikipedia. Connolly aledgedly wrote or edited over 5,000 articles to support the AGW theory. And, as a Wikipedia administrator Connolly alegedly deleted 500 articles that did not match with his view on this.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100020515/climategate-the-corruption-of-wikipedia/
3. There is also the incredible story of how mainstream media completely ignored the entire scandal while aggressively supporting the AGW hypothesis. This scientific fraud could not have happened if reporters had simply done their jobs all along. Thank G for Fox news, and a few brave souls like John Stossal, John Coleman and Glen Beck… I think that most news reporters are simply so scientifically tarded that they could never really grasp the issues well enough to formulate a report, but that’s just my theory….
