I guess it depends on who is measuring the temperature...



Why am I reminded of Goebbels:

Are you really saying that anything that supports AGW theory is a 'lie' and anything that doesn't is gospel

When Monbiot starts to doubt the scientists, then the climate change camp have a problem.

No, that's overstating it - but there isn't much tolerance of independent views let alone dissent, the gospel in this case comes from the Church of AGW. Once there is an 'official line' and the 'science is settled' then the skeptics are on a hiding to nothing. Until something upsets the status quo like these FOI documents that accidently got out...

I don't think Monbiot has actually changed his views, he was joking

I see the media have not made much of all of this. I would have thought this would have been on the front pages of most papers

It was the lead article on Newsnight last night and featured on Ch4 News this evening, oh and the right wing nutters (like Glenn Beck) on Fox News have been all over it, so TV has given it some decent coverage.

another "bears **** in the woods" story

although seems loads at the moment -- is their some sort of summit coming up

Aha, it seems that you need to accept the ads.guardian.co.uk cookie to see comments! Why can't the bozos that code these web-pages not give a warning or error message saying why something doesn't work?

I still believe that the main text changed from the original (late evening) publication and the next day. Maybe his warmist "pals" had a quiet word?

Anyone know a "rollback" web-site to see how certain pages change over time?

And I bet the inquiry will absolve him and the entire CRU from any wrongdoing. Too much money at stake for there to be any other outcome

They should however be rebranded as statisticians, not scientists, as thats what they've been doing: Selecting data to best suit their objectives, and discarding what they feel is irrelevant or contrary to their aims.

Nothing technically wrong or illegal with that, but not very scientific nor honest either.

The Daily Express was front page with Climate change fraud.

Quite a wake up call that is!

228 pages now!

I read it all as it developed and continue to do so and have to say i'm 'somewhat angry' at the MMGW establishment for lying to us all this time.
The role that the BBC have played and is still playing in maintaining the lie is a total and utter disgrace too. If I were a UK taxpayer I'd be complaining at the highest level. As I'm not though, I just won't visit them for my information that often anymore, seeing as they have proven bias.

Its great that the Express have broken the story, but its going to be a while until the wheels completely come off the global warming hand cart. There are just too many incomes and reputations at stake here!

Exactly - hes saying ignore the data, we're right anyway, and by the way heres more tax for you - dont think so sunshine!

Cool

Independent review now.

You never know, it may be truly independent........

Hope springs eternal.

If it's an open review, it should be fairly clear.
