I’ve watched part 4, which had an early release. The video is cheering, and supported with a multitude of graphics and interviews. “Chiefio” aka E.M. Smith and Joe D’Aleo make strong appearances.
Here is the KUSI introduction:
A computer programmer named E. Michael Smith and a Certified Consulting Meteorologist named Joseph D’Aleo join the program to tell us about their breakthrough investigation into the manipulations of data at the NASA Goddard Science and Space Institute at Columbia University in New York and the NOAA National Climate Data Center in Ashville, North Carolina.
E. Michael Smith kept a blog of his findings. See his site by clicking here.
Joe D’Aleo has written a detailed report on the findings. It is available here .
I have written a blog about this important climate news development. It is available by clicking here.
D’Aleo wrote an outstanding article on Climategate. It is available here.
You can read about the English Climategate leaked or hacked files at the Anglia University Climate Center at this newspaper site.
And, there is a US connection with the original Climategate, as well. Professor Michael Mann, of Penn State University, is in the middle of it. Here is the latest on it.
All five parts of the video are now online.

Well done! I’ve been a John Coleman fan since his days in Chicago, more than 35 years ago. He didn’t mince words and took the right angle: the global warming science is biased. He knows how complex the data sets and manipulations are, but made it simple and easy-to-understand. And Chiefio (E.M. Smith) was awesome. We can only hope this program goes viral on the Internet.
Could you imagine the BBC or even the major US networks running an hour on this?
No, not anymore. Except that here in the U.S., Obama has seen fit to certify that only Fox is to be believed. [pbuh]
There are currently some REALLY wacked out and dangerous people in positions of power.
“WND Exclusive – Top Obama czar: Infiltrate all ‘conspiracy theorists’.”
And what would one of those “conspiracy theories” be?
That “The theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.”
Instead of being in charge of our fate, they need to at least be on medication, and getting some serious therapy.
The most important important part of the presentation was his direct public accusation that Michael Mann has committed academic fraud. Overall the presentation was targeted to the layman with just enough science language to make the point. The obvious snearing was good too.
Good Job. Thanks to Anthony Watts for posting and Mr Coleman for presenting.
The big news is E. M. Smith’s “March of the Thermometers” hypothesis. I am confused though about temperature vs. temperature anomaly. Global averages are presented as anomalies, meaning variations above/below an arbitrary time period’s average. If this was done for the input data too, then only the difference in variability of cold vs. hot regions would be modified by the great dying out of thermometers, not the absolute temperatures. There are three non-satellite global averages, GISS, Hadley and NCDC so there are three software packages to ask this question for. Isn’t the whole point of anomalies that using them instead of absolute temperature removes the problem that Smith is making a case for?
“DOES ANYONE happen to know Al Gore’s telephone number? I need to get in touch with the former vice president in the worst kind of way.
You see, I’ve got a question for Big Al: Where is global warming hiding? If it is around, we could use a visit about now.
My feet are cold, my hands are cold, my everything is cold. This has been one bad old winter, and we still have two months to go.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. By now, we were supposed to be in the grips of global warming and the tulips should be blooming in January.
How do I know? Big Al told me so. Beware! Global warming is coming! Those were his exact words–well, almost.”
Where’s global warming when you truly need it?

scienceofdoom (22:33:47) : = “comic relief”
Thanks for the laughs, but you need to get some new material. That bunk is so last inquisition.
WOW! Yes, part 4 was the best and it’s good to put a face to the name E. M. Smith. I bet you had several jaw dropping moments working on the temerature record.
Give that man a VB (Or his own channel on TV).
At this point it seems like just a battle of news paper headlines. Who can lie the most about man-made global warming and get away with it? It’s like a game. The publishers know the jig is up. More and more rogue articles concerning the truth about man-made global warming are sprouting up everyday like dandelions. It’s just a matter of time before there are more news paper articles telling the truth and out number the ones telling lies.
i thought it was a poor quality reporting (or reading from the prompter) and could not finish watching it. came off a like a Faux News piece.
AGW alarmist have already stated the science does not matter anymore; the debate is over. I say their time is up. Either they produce conclusive evidence that AGW is real or they should be charged with fraud.
OT
but just for fun.
Expect another crap summer and cold winter then. :o)
I think the seriousness of the scientific facts and their manipulations were somewhat minimized by the musical parodies. Somehow, “Bare Naked Ladies” songs just do not seem to add to this issue. It is one of my favorite songs, however.
Overall I think it was a great summary of where the science stands, and like many others here, I hope it somehow gets out to the general public. I will be sending this link to all of my warmer friends and enemies.
Thanks WUWT!
absolutely shocking

“photon without a Higgs (22:12:02) :
E.M. Smith was easy to understand.
Computer programmers have to be like that. They’re used to being like that because they work full time with a dumb machine that has to have everything spelled out in simple terms.”
The machines are not the problem. It’s the bosses.
Answer for those who ask for your credentials.
So I take it you have faith, not understanding. Asking why and how is for understanding. Asking who you are is for faith.
Proof of religion.
Mapou (22:33:37) :
I can see what you’re saying, but Colman is not addressing scientists. He is addressing the general public. Therefore he puts things in simple terms, and starts out by attacking what the general public understands.
Do you think the general public understands the IPCC reports? I am quite certain the general public would be put to sleep by page two of those dreary reports. I know that when I forced myself to read them I was so bored that my eyeballs practically fell out, and I was only able to stay awake by being outraged.
Gore put things to the general public in simple terms. Colman is responding in simple terms.
Those of us who wish to dig deeper are free to do so. Thank God. Scientists, and people with great understanding of computer programming and modeling, can dig even deeper.
My own experience has been that under ever rock you turn over are a whole bunch of worms. However, when I first began expressing my skepticism four years ago, I was treated like I was crazy, or was saying the earth was flat. Nor was response at all friendly. I wasn’t kidded, and treated like a mere fool; I was treated like some sort of criminal.
Opinions are now changing, much to my relief. However people like John Colman deal with the general public on a daily basis, and I imagine they have a better understanding than I do of what the general public is ready to hear.
The real danger is that these brave men get silenced.
Sorry Mapou; my comment was suppose to be addressed to “scienceofdoom (22:33:47)”
Wow ! – watched it all and think it was well done ! Also (as others say) proud to be able to say I post on the same blog as E.M. Smith. Very solid. It is exciting to watch this all unfold !!
Better than a good thriller !
Baa Humbug:
It would be simple and concise to let the audience know that the IPCC agrees with him. But he claims to debunk the IPCC’s position.
Why is it so confusing for his audience to say “We debunk Al Gore’s movie, and the IPCC agrees that Al Gore’s movie was junk. We don’t agree with the IPCC about future temperature changes as a result of CO2, but in this point we are in agreement.” ?
Why is deception or ignorance ok? He’s as bad as Al Gore.

I simply do not understand the whole issue of reduced number of reporting stations. Certainly there ARE weather stations in Bolivia. Are the data from them not being used? Is this really so? I would like to see more details on this issue.
I think it was reasonable, certainly part 4 was the best.
One problem I think they got the centimetres etc mixed up a bit when talking about sea level rise, but most people probably wouldn’t notice.
NASA has issued the following statement in response to the KUSI Special Report. This statement is from Dr. James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City:
“NASA has not been involved in any manipulation of climate data used in the annual GISS global temperature analysis. The analysis utilizes three independent data sources provided by other agencies. Quality control checks are regularly performed on that data. The analysis methodology as well as updates to the analysis are publicly available on our website. The agency is confident of the quality of this data and stands by previous scientifically based conclusions regarding global temperatures.” (GISS temperature analysis website: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/)
What agencies? cru etc no thank you be prepared for some legal action…
scienceofdoom (22:33:47) :
Your critique is noted. Although a “nice shot across the bow to open the US Climate Gate war” would have been in order as well – kinder…
I’m happy to see people stepping up to the plate – it takes courage.
pretty sure the TV station would not have made these statements unless they were covered legally 110%
