There has been some concern lately that the British Government-run climate change research centre The Hadley Climate Centre has been hiding its scientific data from the public and evading freedom of information laws. While they have been happy to publish their findings they have refused to release raw data to confirm or refute their findings. This is contrary to normal scientific procedure, leading sceptics to smell a proverbial rat.
It seems the deception has been far more sinister than even the most cynical had suspected.
The Hadley's computer system has been "hacked" and hundreds of emails and memos have been released to investigative journalists. Some of these emails are just dismissive of sceptics, but some suggest systemic fudging of data to make it more conforming to the theory.
I've seen some comments on this, including people whose own emails to the centre and the centre's responses have been leaked, and these people confirm that the information leaked is genuine.
Is it possible that we will see an unwinding of the bureaucracy, the expensive carbon taxes, the academic sinecures, the scare-mongering industry-- or are there too many vested interests including powerful banks who stand to make trillions from carbon permit trading?
This article from Australian climate scientist Joanne Nova summarises the leaks.
Someone is making big money from this. Enough that they think it's worth lying about it.
ReplyDeleteDefnitely. Look at how many governments have a "Department of Climate Change". Look at the huge bureaucracy and the rolling international conferences under the IPCC (UN climate change body). Look at the massive subsidies being thrown out by governments to help people adapt.And then there are the banks....
