As James Delingpole, in the Telegraph, noted Wednesday:
Climategate just got much, much bigger. And all thanks to the Russians who, with perfect timing, dropped this bombshell just as the world’s leaders are gathering in Copenhagen to discuss ways of carbon-taxing us all back to the dark ages.
On Tuesday, we heard via the Ria Novosti agency that the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change had probably tampered with Russian-climate data:
The IEA believes that Russian meteorological-station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports. Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for some other reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.
With all the money at stake for the left and liberal fat cats, this will not go away soon – but, honestly, anyone with any sense at all realizes by now, at the minimum, that the data used by the UN and other government agencies to set “global warming” policy is tainted beyond redemption. If you still wish to hold to the theory of anthropogenic global warming, you’re going to have to go back and re-do the data from scratch and see what shows up.
My bet is that it won’t show that man is the cause of whatever warming we had in the late 20th century.
And this, finally, should put the nail in the coffin for the environmentalist movement – there never has been anything out of that movement besides lies, slanders and, at their best moments, half-truths. It is time to return to conservation and leave environmentalism in the dustbin of history.
