Have to agree with Nature on this one. There's no smoking gun in those emails. If they prove anything, it's that those scientists are convinced that we must do something about global warming.
- New ScientistWe can be 100 per cent sure the world is getting warmer
Forget about the temperature records compiled by researchers such as those whose emails were hacked. Next spring, go out into your garden or the nearby countryside and note when the leaves unfold, when flowers bloom, when migrating birds arrive and so on. Compare your findings with historical records, where available, and you'll probably find spring is coming days, even weeks earlier than a few decades ago.
This scientist was murdered with an aids virus tainted blood transfusion. She dared to go against the globel warming eco freaks in the 90's

I hope this works darn it I have trouble posting these things Ha
Is this the same "Nature", as in "Mike's Nature trick"? If so, they have a vested interest in denying any impropriety, lest their lofty journal status be badly damaged. I tend to ignore the pleas from those caught with their hands in the cookie jar already.

I haven't brainstormed on this very long so please correct me if Im wrong. Don't we purposely manipulate our calendars and clocks year after year to try to keep some semblance of a "routine". How does leap years and adding seconds (done earlier this year), as well as daylight savings time to the clocks affect subjective "observations" like in the quote? If we allowed time to run it's course naturally, all kinds of historical "observations" would be worthless. January would be in the middle of summer eventually! Everything in our lives is manipulated, including our very sense of what "time" and "season" are.

did u even read the e-mails????
The phony scientists talk about "the travesty" of temp declines over past 7 years......and how to "use tricks of adding real temps back in order to "hide the decline"...
cant be any clearer than that
Yes, I read them. The temp declines over the past 7 years are a travesty because they are statistically insignificant, but people with an unscientific mind will use them to keep everyone's heads buried in the sand.

I’ve always respected the writers over at New Scientist and those are some pretty tough arguments against anti-warmers. Of course there are a lot of writers and if anyone has any evidence of any funny business from over there, post it here.
Any bets on who wrote those 2 articles?
if the temperature of Tallahese has decreased over the last 5 years, but Detroit and NY have increased?
not quite easy to verify and check. Define world-temperature? Average vs Mean?
This is why they were trying to silence their critics. Because other experts can expose their shenanigans. People without such expertise can not, at least not without quite a bit of work.(or breaking in and "stealing' their emails) lol
Well, here's the long and the short of it. These people are screaming and making their dire warnings, but have no more of a clue what's really happening and/or is going to happen than the scientists fifty years ago who were talking about how good red meat is for you, and how it would never do you any harm (while decrying the Oriental diet as lacking in albumens).
'We're just guessing, but don't let that stop you from being very, very afraid!!'
Why? these writers could be anybody. Just because it is written with sophicticated language does not make it scientific, intelligent, or truth based.
Here is one such New Scientist writer, who is a CFR member with a clear political agenda which trumps science. Judging by how this article was written, and anonymous at that, it was probably written by someone like this.
