    Having a PhD after one’s name does not make one a “scientist” any more than having an MBA after one’s name makes one a “Master Mechanic.” Both are absurd. Jack Koenig, Researcher and Author

Climategate, one of the biggest scandals over the past 100 years, has all but been ignored by the Main Stream Media (MSM). And the reason seems to be simple: the MSM has been on the forefront of championing global warming from its inception… shortly after their Global Cooling hysteria ended. Once again, the MSM failed America and by admitting their errors, perhaps they are fearful it will hurt their ratings. But according to most major polls, they needn’t fret: their ratings are already lower than whale poop and can’t sink much further!

An unscientific study - conducted during the last week of November 2009 - used the search term “climategate” on most popular media websites to measure the term’s coverage. The results were predictable: the only liberal site using the term Climategate was the New York Times. On the other hand, most centrist and center right sites had an abundance of hits. Interestingly, the liberal Chicago Tribune did not have a “hit” using “climategate,” but did have a 120 word article on the Republican’s call to investigate the “hacked” emails. Perhaps the brevity of the article was necessitated by their 805 word article on the difficulties facing homosexual blacks in Chicago’s “Boystown.” Their priorities speak volumes for their content and explain why this is a failed and bankrupt paper.

Another study, this one by Richard North, developed an index to show just how derelict the MSM is on focusing on Climategate. Tiger Woods delivered 22,500,000 web pages and 46,025 news pages for a ratio of web to news of 489 to one. Climategate delivered 28,400,000 web pages and only 2,930 news pages for a ratio of 9,693 to one. Or to look at it another way, whereas there were ~1.3 Climategate web pages for each one of Tiger Woods, there were only .21 news articles for every one on Tiger Woods. Talk about a lopsided statistic!

But Europe is a different story. Climategate is all over the map, and much to the chagrin and angst of the principle players, it doesn’t look like it’ll end soon.

As suggested by the previous ratios, lack of media coverage hasn’t prevented the spread of information. Climategate became viral on the Internet shortly after the story broke and has been going bonkers ever since. And all this in spite of attempts by many to stop, hinder, or inhibit its circulation (see HERE)

Ramifications from Climategate have been swift, and in some cases unpredictable. In addition to the original Climategate, whistle blowers have begun coming out of the woodwork and exposing other mischievous behavior including:

  • The corruption of Denmark’s CO2 exchange (see HERE)
  • The accusation that the State University of NY (Albany) and Queens University in Belfast have also engaged in withholding climate data (see HERE)
  • Documents have surfaced showing the United Nation’s heavy involvement in this fraud relate to their desire to be the world’s governmental body (see HERE)

Additional fallout includes:

  • Phil Jones, Director (and possibly main person behind AGW fear mongering) of the Hadley Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia was forced to step down pending an investigation (see HERE)
  • Michael Mann, Director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University (inventor of the infamous “hockey stick” purporting to show unprecedented warming) is under investigation by Penn State authorities (see HERE)
  • Michael Mann, in an apparent attempt to cover his backside, claimed in a BBC interview that he could not justify a request from Phil Jones that he (Mann) should delete some of his own emails to prevent others from viewing them (see HERE)
  • Australia’s Liberal Party (actually conservative) overthrew their leadership, partially resulting from Climategate (see HERE)
  • The Australia Parliament voted to reject cap and trade based on questions raised primarily by Climategate (see HERE)
  • China, India, Brazil, and South Africa promise a joint walkout at Copenhagen if pressured by anyone into accepting any limitation (see HERE)
  • The UK Met Office (one of the three main sources of temperature data used by the UN’s global warming group) has announced a three year program to re-examine 160 years of climate data (the British government is attempting to stop these plans because it will fuel the anthropogenic global warming skeptics) (see HERE)
  • The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change admitted yesterday that it needed to consider the full implications of the e-mails and whether they cast doubt on any of the evidence for man-made global warming (see HERE)
  • Pollster Rasmussen reports that 59% of Americans now believe scientists falsified their research in order to support their own global warming agenda (only 22% believe the UN is a reliable source)

And finally, Kevin Trenberth has been lamenting the fact his emails were amongst those released and said that he felt “violated.” Considering his apparent involvement in this sordid mess, that should be the least of his problems. Some of the posted emails seem to suggest Trenberth has been - and still is - up-to-his-eyeballs in Climategate.

In the next issue of “Climategate Unleashed,” we will shed some light on how these email and supporting attachments actually got on the Internet. Was it by an evil, nefarious “hacker” from Russia as the media claims… or was it by another method?
