A treasure trove of 220,000 previously unpublished emails released by FOIA.org and described as a “very large pile of ‘smoking guns’” shows in devastating detail that the “climate experts” behind the theory of man-made global warming were more interested in political activism than science.
“Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Ben Santer, Tom Wigley, Kevin Trenberth, Keith Briffa – all your favourite Climategate characters are here, once again caught red-handed in a series of emails exaggerating the extent of AGW, while privately admitting to one another that the evidence is nowhere near as a strong as they’d like it to be,” Climate Depot reports.
This will be of particular interest to the University of Virginia, where Mann was previously employed and is currently fighting the release of what could be some of the very same emails in court.
A 2006 communication from Mann after he moved to Penn State admits “that we certainly don’t know the GLOBAL mean temperature anomaly very well, and nobody has ever claimed we do ….”
This is when the same gaggle of “climate experts” were telling everybody publicly that the science on man-made global warming was “settled,” and vilifying any so-called “deniers” who had the temerity to question any of their work – including Mann’s discredited “hockey stick” graph.
And there’s more to come. Climate Depot reports that there’s a quarter million more emails that have still not been released.
The U.K. Telegraph’s James Delingpole sums up the stakes involved in this international conspiracy:
Well said.
