      The really sad part as this info floats through the minds of FOX listeners, in reality whether you believe that man influences global warming or not, a fleet of large icebergs that has broken off from the ice shelf in Antartica is now floating towards the South Island of New Zealand. This is the largest such sighting in history this far north.

      This is an enormous case of organized scientific fraud, but it is not just scientific fraud. It is also a criminal act. Suborned by billions of taxpayer dollars devoted to climate research, dozens of prominent scientists have established a criminal racket in which they seek government money-Phil Jones has raked in a total of £13.7 million in grants from the British government-which they then use to falsify data and defraud the taxpayers. It's the most insidious kind of fraud: a fraud in which the culprits are lauded as public heroes. Judging from this cache of e-mails, they even manage to tell themselves that their manipulation of the data is intended to protect a bigger truth and prevent it from being "confused" by inconvenient facts and uncontrolled criticism.

      The damage here goes far beyond the loss of a few billions of taxpayer dollars on bogus scientific research. The real cost of this fraud is the trillions of dollars of wealth that will be destroyed if a fraudulent theory is used to justify legislation that starves the global economy of its cheapest and most abundant sources of energy.

      This is the scandal of the century. It needs to be thoroughly investigated-and the culprits need to be brought to justice.

        And if your rant was a sendup of the typical wingnut, I'll remove my thumbs down.

        How many PPM of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere is acceptable?

          Again it is all assumed that it will cause problems there has been no hard and fast data. They project the damage into the future and tell horrific tales of disaster.

          It sounds as the email that were gotten by questionable means paint a whole new light on how the "global warming" scientists are "bending" the data to prove it.

            I'm not talking about assumptions. I'm talking about the point at which CO2 ppm becomes detrimental to all forms of life on earth.

            We are destroying the forests and slowly turning our oceans into a toxic soup of chemicals and plastic garbage, which only serves to hamper the earth's ability to scrub CO2 from the air. That's not an assumption.

            CO2 in very high concentrations can kill you. try surviving in a small space with no ventilation if you believe that's an assumption.

              Or, just put a plastic bag over your head.

        Just think about this for even one minute and it makes very little sense. Why would scientists who are doing climate research have any motive to promote fraud in their research. What motive would they have to promote faulty research. They just destroy their own credibility as scientists.

        None of these quote are taken in any sort of context and none of them actually admit they are committing fraud. Where is the sentence before and after? We don't know exactly what any is referring to.

        Also, the wall street journal really does have motivation to seek out any thing that counters global warming. They even have motivation to distort information to just say there is fraud even without real proof. Again, who owns wall street journal? NEWS CORP! And who owns news corp? Our dear friend rupert murdoch. And what else does Murdoch own? Thats right, FOX NEWS!

        Finally, the idea that 95 percent or more of the scientists and scientific groups in every nation across the globe would and could somehow get together and orchestrate some massive hoax on everyone else is just ludicrous. Even if this is a remote possibility, there would have to be some monumental motivation for the international scientific community to almost all agree to do this which would absolutely destroy the credibility of every scientist involved which is tens of thousands. iTS JUST SO OUTRAGEOUS, it sounds crazy just saying it. And most certainly 3 quotes out of context in the wall street journal doesn't by any means even come close to proving since systemic corruption.

      When you add the sea ice at both Poles, there is virtually no loss of sea ice over the last 30 years according to NASA. The loss of Arctic sea ice is compensated by a nearly equal growth in the Antarctic sea ice. Antarctica had the most ice ever recorded in 2008. It has been cooling there for the last 50 years.

      Show me where the ice is melting???[img]

      Forget Climategate. Google Newtongate. Turns out gravity is a hoax. ;)

      Was that a sick joke? When he said he'd read selected text from a few emails, I expected that it would at least be superficially damning out of context, but he had to spin the three excerpts he picked out himself.
