Has there been a notice at this website yet that Michael Mann’s work has been completely cleared — twice now — against all allegations that he published false data. Same true for his British counterparts at East Anglia. The effort to politically attack climate scientists for publishing their findings is clearly losing. Charles Monnett is the latest victim of this kind of ideology fueled harrassment and intimidation. He, too, will be vindicated.
A) it is acceptable to use copyrighted material for economic gain as long as proper credit is given to the author.. . B) all original work located on the Internet is to be considered copyrighted.. . C) only items marked with the ? symbol are considered copyrighted.. . D) all Internet content is free for anyone to use..
Also would like to correct Pat’. You mention that “Elizabeth I of England and James V of Scotland were 1st cousins. Henry VIII’s sister, Margaret Tudor, was married to James V of Scotland.” maybe it was a typo

Only fair that a response is available alongside your criticism, right?
what is really sad is that apparently in order to wake people up to do the right thing we have to resort to producing a pack of lies and stupidity. does the earths climate change? Yes, core samples and known history shows this. is man capable of destroying earth or saving earth? Hell no. This is egomaniacal hubris. Can man make earth virtually uninhabitable for mankind? Certainly, and we have history to show this fact. It is a story to be continued…whether man is capable of learning how to live in harmony in his place. This of course requires being. A challenge yet to be known of its outcome as the experiment continues…
Are the visitors to this site aware that WUWT’s Anthony Watts (NOT a climate scientist) has been bought and paid for by the energy industry. This site has absolutely no credibility and when you really start checking out the claims made you quickly realize they are false. Peace!
REPLY: Ah, the usual talking points fabrications from the usual anonymous idiots. I think I’d know if I’m getting checks from the energy industry. Kindly provide citations, or kindly STHU. – Anthony
Funny, I disagree and you call me names. Funnier, you didn’t dispute my assertion that your claims are false.

More citations?
Honestly I would like to hear why I should believe your unsubstantiated claims and disbelieve substantiated claims? If you dispute the above citations please provide citations.
If you are so concerned with “anonymity” why don’t you disclose who your donors are and were? I left my last name on your contact form but what WTH. My name is John Benton and I am NOT a scientist nor have I ever claimed to be one but I can sure tell when smoke is being blown up my floopus!
Peace!
REPLY: Thanks for coming into the light Mr. Benton. Again, none of these show any energy companies, I have no energy company donors, never have. The website I’m putting together related to Fakegate (which was a private donor, solicited by Heartland for this one special project), and I’ve only gotten half of the project funds) will be online next month and you have a look at that.
You are right about “smoke is being blown up my floopus” except it isn’t coming from me. You are a victim of headline thinking. For example, I’m not allowed to provide any information to the Sourcewatch page or to the Wikipedia page. I’m locked out of being able to state my own case or offer them any references. Do you think that is fair, that a person isn’t allowed to provide their own biographical information? They have an agenda, and that agenda is denigration and you’ve bitten on that hook line and sinker sir. I’m sorry, but I know you won’t accept it. but that is the reality. It really doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. It doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things.
Meanwhile, Rio+20 has spent 8 million ina week…no complaints there I suppose, nor any complaints about Greenpeace getting checks for Exxon?
A note – I really don’t believe people who shout Peace with an exclamation point, actually mean that. – Anthony
Thanks for indulging me with your time Anthony, I didn’t mean to spend so much of yours or mine. I will be very interested in your Fakegate site. I can admit it when I am wrong and if you show me I am, I will admit it right here (you don’t stay married 27 years if you can’t admit when you are wrong…Doh!). For example, I said “energy companies” when I should have said “Heartland Institute”. It has been demonstrated and I believe you are still influenced by money from energy companies, polluters etc…perhaps not directly. The Heartland Institute is connected with ALEC neither of which has my, your, or the Earth’s best interest in mind.
As far as being locked out I honestly don’t know about that but do agree, it seems unfair on the surface to not be able to defend yourself. That being said though I don’t think everyone should be given the chance to rebut everything said about them. There is also way more information and citations on those pages than just the headlines, I’m not exactly sure what you meant by “headline thinking”. Feel free to provide citations demonstrating Scourcewatch’s agenda of denigration against you. Aren’t the denialists guilty of denigration too Anthony? Aren’t you? Isn’t that the number one tactic the Denialists use?
Is it easier to believe thousands perhaps tens of thousands of scientists (not to mention my own five senses), are involved in a global conspiracy to get research money or that the largest corporations in the world are lying to protect their profits? I know who I trust and it aint the guys that hired the same PR firms as Big Tobacco, It aint the Heartland Institute, CATO Institute or ALEC.
We can probably come to some middle ground here. Agree with AGW or not I have yet to see a real solution that isn’t motivated by profits.
Clearly we disagree but I do wish you Peace Anthony! I had too many years without it and I do wish it for everyone, honestly. I hope I am wrong about AGW, I really do. I just want to die without worrying about my new grandson’s future. Nothing would tickle me more than having to change what I honestly believe on this issue.
Thanks for your time again Anthony. Okay, okay no peace.
REPLY: I understand where you are coming from, because I used to be in the exact same position you are in. I was actually a climate activist in the early 1990’s, inspired by Jim Hansen. My path to 180 degrees was a long one, about five years, and comes from finding out myself why certain things didn’t add up. I agree money corrupts everything, but when you see what I’m doing, perhaps you’ll see it was money well spent – Anthony
This old non issue still here? Haven’t you heard it was a storm in a teacup? Two investigations found nothing amiss, didn’t that make it over the pond to American deniers? You’d think you’d all have found out by now, it’s a non-issue, depite all the hot air and links here. Put simply: climate scientists in the UK were beseiged with ‘freedom of information’ requests by non-scientist deniers and reacted by becoming defensive and secretive in order to get on with their work. Who would have behaved differently when attacked by people who are trying to prevent you working? The data wasn’t understood by these people, but the process was designed to slow down progress – now who would do that? Surely not a sceptic who would want to have the research concluded and papers presented? Despite two government enquiries, no scientists were judged to have behaved unethically, and going over emails to find an odd phrase to highlight is not science.
‘I was actually a climate activist in the early 1990s’ I suggest what made you change into an anti-environmentalist was your inability to cope with reality, stay sane and not fall into depression rather than ‘certain things didn’t add up’. The more you learn, the more concerning it is.I personally have never been able to stick my head in the sand though. I just have to face reality, however scary.
So for all those deniers who still think ‘climategate’ is relevent, it isn’t, it never was. You should just quietly remove all mention of it here if you don’t want the label denier, because to deny it’s been dismissed and disdn’t contain anything damaging is inane. Go google it if you’re still unconvinced, I’m sure there’s plenty on it if you really want to find the truth.

Has anyone noticed that Britain’s bee (honey) industry is in trouble because the bees are having trouble surviving a cold, wet summer. The people who should know, the apiarists, are really concerned that yet another cold winter will decimate the bee population. For the ignorant, no bees doesn’t just mean no honey – it means no food for man or beast. (the rhetorical question is omitted so as not to insult the residual intelligence of any GW alarmists).
On another subject, Tim Flannery, who is Australia’s Climate Change Commissioner (appointed by Julia Gillard), is an actual, real scientist – a palaeontologist. Apparently the theory that the dinosaurs perished due to climate change qualifies him as an expert on all things climate. If anyone wants to check on how that’s working out, you can check out his alarmist predictions against actual outcomes. Just Google the man and his failed predictions to see how un-funny this joke is. The evidence suggests that the recent SE Queensland floods became the “natural” disaster it was because a flood mitigation dam was being used for water storage – Flannery predicted we wouldn’t get enough rain to supply our water needs and bad decisions were made as a result. Many bad water supply decisions have been made in recent years. There is a long list of failed predictions – check it. Here is one list of global warming alarmists’ failed or ridiculous predictions http://anhonestclimatedebate.wordpress.com/predictions/ .
Check out Australia’s $23/tonne “carbon tax” applied to coal, diesel (but not petrol), and methane (eg. From garbage dumps). There is no actual plan to reduce the amount of coal burnt. Check out the major businesses going bust and the extent of job losses, but of course there is no connection with the carbon tax.
I’m not a climate change sceptic. I know the climate is continually changing. The unproven hypothesis is that man’s contribution is making the difference and that by enabling the money-men to get richer via carbon taxes, carbon trading schemes and “green industries” is somehow going to fix it.
@oneworldnet
What is the point in your post? You just contradicted yourself and stuck your head in the sand. WE CAN READ THE LEAKED EMAILS OURSELVES. They outright say they manipulated data to make the temperature appear more dramatic to the uneducated. I don’t need a government-funded inquiry to tell me these people did nothing wrong. If they did nothing wrong then why resign in shame? Pull your head out please and start thinking objectively to what the establishment is pushing.

All Climategate 3 will not now come up for me when subsequent postings do. Has it been taken off for some reason?
I have the same issue as George, above. What happened to the CG3 thread? Why no mention of it anywhere? Have the UAE legal team succeeded in suppressing it?
No mentio of it on any other sceptic sites either..? Was I dreaming that it happened?
I have come to the conclusion that we all have a little blame global warming and its consequences and guilt even more politicians who do not slow down.

I have no idea if the man made global warming theory is true or not. I do know with 100% certainty that global biofuel production is the biggest scam and crime of the 21st century.
Global biofuel production has killed far more people worldwide than all wars and acts of terrorism combined during the 1993 to 2013 time frame. The higher the cost of food, the more innocent people die of malnutrition and related illness. The equation is that simple. Most biofuel victims have been children under the age of 12. Biofuels have skyrocketed the cost of fertilizer, farmland, and food all over the world, and have dramatically increased deforestation, greenhouse gas release, water pollution, and topsoil erosion. Half of America’s prime Midwest topsoil has already been lost to erosion. What will our grandchildren eat when the other half is gone?

The same goes for Climategate. For instance, one of the most attacked emails was one that was simply misunderstood by its attackers. The email referred to “Mike’s Nature trick…to hide the decline,” and it was assumed on this basis that scientists were doing something underhanded to suppress the fact that temperatures were supposedly declining. But that’s just incorrect, as you would have known if you were part of the community of scientists doing the research. The “decline” being referred to wasn’t even about global temperatures at all, but rather, a decline in the growth of certain trees whose rings were being used to infer past temperatures.
“What the scientists meant by ‘trick’ was ‘a neat trick’—’Hey, that was a really good piece of science,'” explains Collins. “Whereas the public were interpreting it as something tricky, disreputable, and underhand. So you’ve got to know the context in order to interpret what the very words mean, and you can only know the context by once again, being part of the oral culture of science.”

The interesting thing is that the chap who writes all this nonsense is not a climate scientist. He’s a sociologist. But if you are a pro-climate alarm sociologist you are allowed to write about climate whereas if you are a climate sceptic you would not be.
As I was putting the tree-ring calibrations into scrutiny, I grew more in the conviction that its real problem is not in any of the regular counter-armuments. The system is really robust. Its problem, however, lies in the very principal point of dating the samples. The selective attitude (or the copyright work as dubbed by Michael Billaie himself) is a suspected decisive element.
I did not have a smoking gun until I came by Climategate. It is as someone said a mushroom cloud
rather than a smoking gun 🙂
Case rest !
Deacon Basil (aka Christopher Mark)
The question to dr. Mann is not about what ‘trick’ means. It is about what trick was used for. Does ‘neat tricks’ conceal ‘decline date from statistics??? That is the question dr. Mann cicumvented.

“However, Anthony Watts, a weathercaster who runs one of the most prominent anti-science blogs, Watts Up With That?, acknowledged Heartland was helping him with $90,000 for a new project.”

Writing concluding
What is evaluation literature?
The format of evaluation literature are vastly different from discipline to
discipline and from assignment to assignment.
A review could be a self-contained unit — a conclusion in itself — or even a preface to and rationale for undertaking
primary research. A review can be a required component of grant and research proposals and infrequently
a chapter in theses and dissertations.
Generally, the purpose of the review is usually
to analyze critically a segment of the published body of
info through summary, classification, and comparison of prior studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles.
Writing the introduction
In the introduction, you must:
Define or identify the overall topic, issue, or
section of concern, thus providing the right context for reviewing the literature.
Point out overall trends of what has been published about the
subject; or conflicts on paper, methodology, evidence, and conclusions;
or gaps in research and scholarship; or possibly a single problem or
new perspective of immediate interest.
Establish the writer’s reason (perspective) for reviewing the literature; explain the factors to be used in analyzing
and comparing literature plus the organization on the review (sequence); and, at the appropriate time,
state why certain literature is or possibly not included (scope).
top
Writing your body
In your body, it is best to:
Group studies and other varieties of literature (reviews,
theoretical articles, case studies, etc.) in accordance with
common denominators including qualitative versus quantitative
approaches, conclusions of authors, specific purpose or objective, chronology, etc.
Summarize individual studies or articles with as often or very little detail as each merits
based on its comparative importance from the literature,
remembering that space (length) denotes significance.
Provide you with strong “umbrella” sentences at beginnings of paragraphs,
“signposts” throughout, and brief “so what” summary sentences at intermediate points within the review to assistance with understanding comparisons and analyses.
Writing the actual final outcome
In the actual final outcome, you ought to:
Summarize major contributions of significant studies and articles to your body of information under
review, maintaining the target established within the
introduction.
Evaluate the actual “state on the art” for that
body of information reviewed, indicating major methodological flaws or gaps in research, inconsistencies the theory is that and
findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study.
Conclude by giving some understanding of the relationship involving the central topic with
the literature review as well as a larger part of study
for instance a discipline, a scientific endeavor, or
even a profession.
