Sorry if this sounds familiar! It is time for these reporters ignoring the obvious news to BECOME the news.

Schmidt, a climate modeler at NASA, said he found such exchanges unremarkable. </i><br /><br />Here's a couple of "those exchanges" which I think are sort of remarkable.<br /><br /><i>[<2009> Briffa:<br /><br />I find myself in the strange position of being very skeptical of the quality of all present reconstructions, yet sounding like a pro greenhouse zealot here!]</i><br /><br />The guy who created the tree ring temperature reconstructions thinks they are all crap, but is being edited by parties of the IPCC to make it seem like he has faith in them.<br /><br /><i>[<2775> Jones:<br /><br />I too don't see why the schemes should be symmetrical. The temperature ones certainly will not as we're choosing the periods to show warming.]</i><br /><br />HADCRUT chose periods to enhance the sale of "warming" to the public.<br /><br /><i>[<4923> Stott/MetO:<br /><br />My most immediate concern is to whether to leave this statement ["probably the warmest of the last millennium"] in or whether I should remove it in the anticipation that by the time of the 4th Assessment Report we'll have withdrawn this statement - Chris Folland at least seems to think this is possible.]</i><br /><br />So the AR4 used assessments that were known by the author to be false, later to be withdrawn in a planned obsolescence, to sex up the report.<br /><br /><i>[<1485> Mann:<br /><br />the important thing is to make sure they're loosing the PR battle. That's what the site [Real Climate] is about.]</i><br /><br />Real Climate is about winning the PR battle?

Even by omission, they make or break history.<br /><br />Having said this I disagree with your inclusion of Fox News and the WSJ, it makes me suspect you're attempting an even hand here. They report much, much more than the mainstream liberal press and many times in great detail. They may not be complete with every issue of the day but they shouldn't be included with organs of raw progressive propaganda.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680653008619015203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-3669253369610628712011-11-27T21:35:03.876-05:002011-11-27T21:35:03.876-05:00There's gotta be a reason for the media's ...There's gotta be a reason for the media's silence and it has to have lethal overtones. Lacking that I cannot fathom why ALL the so called reporters at so many media organizations so willingly toe the line.

Not from a libel standpoint, as the MSM wouldn't stand a chance in that court of law. One hopes anyway.<br /><br />Instead it is societal pressure, PC pressure, specifically, that holds one back. Myself included, sadly.<br /><br />One has to couch argument and discussion in 'academic' terms so to speak, to show that one is serious.

I'm sure more than a few hopped onto Al Gore's gravy train. I believe they're stalling the climategate stories now in order to give themselves time to move their money out without attracting attention.RebeccaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113907852048577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-69031089603212947442011-11-27T12:02:55.607-05:002011-11-27T12:02:55.607-05:00Sins of Omission.

To get the truth today I need a $40 DSL connection, 1k+ for a PC, and know where (HERE) to get the truth! Shouldn't a .75c newspaper of record give me that. I'm sick of bloggers like yourself, being castigated as the "unwashed", and off the "cocktail party circuit". W/O you we would never have heard of the IPCC scandal, Fast & Furious, Executive orders etc..Bless you and yours.hutch1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16628115978586914902noreply@blogger.com
