Except of course that is not what anybody reported about the matter. Makes a great internet line based in fantasy, but little else, hope it brought you true joy.

Oh? Because it looks like that is exactly what Reuters reported ~

Hacked climate emails called a "smear campaign"
Wed Nov 25, 2009

"Three leading scientists who on Tuesday released a report documenting the accelerating pace of climate change said the scandal that erupted last week over hacked emails from climate scientists is nothing more than a "smear campaign" aimed at sabotaging December climate talks in Copenhagen.

"We're facing an effort by special interests who are trying to confuse the public," said Richard Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a lead author of the UN IPCC Fourth Assessment Report.

Dissenters see action to slow global warming as "a threat," he said.

The comments were made in a conference call for reporters.

The scientists—Somerville, Michael Mann of Penn State and Eric Steig of University of Washington—were supposed to be discussing their new report, the Copenhagen Diagnosis, a dismal update of the UN IPCC's 2007 climate data by 26 scientists from eight nations.

Instead they spent much of the time diffusing the hacker controversy, known in the media as "Climate Gate."

"In a statement released on Tuesday, three of the UK's leading science organizations—the Met Office, the Natural Environment Research Council and the Royal Society—issued an unusually strong statement in advance of Copenhagen. They wrote:

The scientific evidence which underpins calls for action at Copenhagen is very strong. Without co-ordinated international action on greenhouse gas emissions, the impacts on climate and civilization could be severe."

Sir Loin

Good lord the hackery is getting thick. Or perhaps you really do need an elementary education in the difference between your prior claim and what you posted. OK.

Your prior claim:

A report from Rueters that features a quote by Mr. Somerville is hardly the MSM reporting "bogus claims by the world conspiracy crowd" but yeah I see why that had an internet appeal to you. Thick as a Brick ain't just a great Jethro Tull song now is it? Your batting average in this thread is getting pretty low.

Catawba

When your case is weak resort to insults. Got it, thanks!

First of all, Jethro Tull doesn't have any great songs. I'm not even sure they have any good songs...

Secondly, I struck you out three times in a row. 0-3. I think the far-right better have someone pinch hit for you.

ClimateGate is bull****. I will not allow environmental issues to be politicized by public officials on both sides who would use it for economic opportunism.

It's called scientific fact for a reason, folks.

Sir Loin

Yeah you presented a real strong case ......for not being able to follow the topic or actually support your fatuous claim. You want a gold star or something?

Sir Loin

That is half your problem and one I noted previously, it is all about internet twaddle/goads/quips with you, which does not leave you looking like a real sharp card to say the least. Physician heal thyself.

hazlnut

Again, since you didn't bother to read the thread, the quips are me mopping up the latecomers (you).

If you'd like to respond intelligently to my longer posts, feel free. I look forward to it.

The fact that you don't realize that you've come in late and are really just a chew toy at this point... well, I think you know how that makes you look.
