I thought this was an interesting development. Some “hackers” (or more likely some insider) exposed the files and emails from some preeminent scientific institution being funded to “find evidence of Global Warming®.”
I wonder if the whole thing could be the greatest scandal of modern science.
I note that in a Manteca city council meeting the state forced us to comply with some sort of measures in our “housing element” that would “reduce greenhouse gases.” Whatever they are.
But you know, the great minds in the State of California often want to be “the first” – to lead the world. And in the process they tell us what kind of houses we can build and where and what sort of roads to have and were the bus routes should go. No matter what this does to our economy.
So while the rest of the world cancels the Copenhagen summit and is glad they didn’t fall for this Global Warming® thing, we in California rushed to saddle ourselves with regulation that will help make us poor poorer and won’t do a thing for “the earth.” But we’re leading the way!

The "trick" "to hide the decline" e-mail was written in 1999. IIRC 1998 was a super hot year that set a global record. So what decline was he trying to hide?
ReplyDeleteGood question. Some of the others have suggested it was something to do with a "decline" in the '60's or maybe it was talking about the aftermath of the "medieval warming period." But it couldn't be the recent "decline" since the hot spot in the late '90's.
