For Mrs. Thomas, arguments over the state of the ice are irrelevant. When she was asked by a Copenhagen Consensus Center researcher what donors and the Tanzanian government should do, she doesn’t think for long. “Education is the first priority,” she says, “and it should provide proper understanding of HIV and reduce the stigma. The next priority is micro-finance so people can have the chance to become self-reliant.”
As she puts it, “There is no need for ice on the mountain if there is no people around because of HIV/AIDS.”

The Met Office has announced plans to release, early next week, station temperature records for over one thousand of the stations that make up the global land surface temperature record.
“This data is a subset of the full HadCRUT record of global temperatures, which is one of the global temperature records that have underpinned IPCC assessment reports and numerous scientific studies. The data subset will consist of a network of individual stations that has been designated by the World Meteorological Organisation for use in climate monitoring. The subset of stations is evenly distributed across the globe and provides a fair representation of changes in mean temperature on a global scale over land.”

“E1 uses methodology from the next IPCC assessment review (AR5) on using concentrations and forcings (the warming influence of GHGs on the atmosphere) as a starting point. Modellers are then able to establish what level of emissions would relate to the stated concentrations, which lets scientists calculate what the likely temperature change might be. Realistic socio-economic scenarios, such as the level of development of renewable energy sources or population growth are then determined to match.”

Here’s the best article I’ve seen so far on the topic.

Very nice pre-Copenhagen video interview with Monckton.
Here’s the same interview on YouTube, h/t Ron de Haan

Alternate link for Monckton video on 7Dec’09 from Berlin.

I can only conclude, somewhat reluctantly, that Google is deliberately and manually (!) tinkering with its search engine. The tinkering is a shape-shifter, changing guises almost hourly. As of now, only ‘climate-gate’ (with the hyphen) will autosuggest.
Worse, the first page of Google’s search results looks like Al Gore’s resume. The Huffington Post? It compares ClimateGate to WaterGate in the sense that they both began with evil right-wing ‘burglaries’! Thus the evil-doers will be brought to justice.
Sure. And so the Nixon Plumbers immediately went public with the dirt they pilfered from the DNC?
These people all need to get the word; they are BUSTED!
For a good list of things that are much harder to suppress, search on ‘AR4 suppressed papers jones mann briffa’. But even here, Google puts the ‘defense’ on page one. (Hey, Google! There IS no defense!)
The Vostok Ice Core data, which show that atmospheric CO2 LAGS temperature over a 400,000 year timespan, are also getting harder to find.
And now, (gotta be a coincidence, right?) the EPA decides that ‘greenhouse gasses’ are ‘dangerous’ to public health? Like water vapor? Do these idiots know that CO2 is the ORIGIN of Green?
I think I should take a stress pill.

Met Office has released some weather data. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2009/pr20091208a.html
CRU still hasn’t released data, station lists, nor code for past research. Past research still not confirmed.

Pretty naive, Ross.
Even if you could organize such a ‘march’, it would only be seen as an effort by a few right-wing loons to fight ‘progress’ and discredit the ‘settled science’.
For every ‘marcher’ you could find, the Left could recruit ten. Most being unemployed, they’re professional demonstrators.
As you point out, most people could not care less about any of this, and that won’t change. De Tocqueville has been proven correct: democracies fail when the majority begin to believe in ‘free’ money.
This debate is not about about the environment any more; it’s about the redistribution of wealth. Which, sadly, is about the only ‘consensus’ left

Climategate: Barack Obama’s rule by EPA decree is a coup d’etat against Congress, made in Britain
By Gerald Warner | December 8th, 2009
“Who needs tanks on the lawn when you have the Environmental Protection Agency? Barack Obama’s use of the EPA to pressurise the Senate to pass his climate change Nuremberg Decrees shows his dictatorial mentality. He wants to override Congress, which is hostile to his climate gobbledegook because it is representative of the American electorate, and sideline the nation’s elected Senators by ruling by decree, courtesy of the EPA. This is a coup d’état.”
“And what is the justification for this undemocratic action? The allegedly imminent threat from “Anthropogenic Global Warming”. There is always a supposed threat, when tyrants take the stage. The President of the United States has just reduced his moral authority to the level of any Third World dictator heading a “Government of National Emergency”.”

I ♥ ClimateGate…
