Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today. The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia's, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic. Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind. The veracity of the emails has not been confirmed and the scientists involved have declined to comment on the story, which broke on a blog called The Air Vent. The files, which in total amount to 160MbB of data, were first uploaded on to a Russian server, before being widely mirrored across the internet. The emails were accompanied by the anonymous statement: "We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code and documents. Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it." A spokesperson for the University of East Anglia said: "... We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and have involved the police in this inquiry." In one email, dated November 1999, one scientist wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline." - UK Guardian
Dominant Social Theme: Oops?
Free-Market Analysis: There are plenty who would disagree with the idea that the fashionable belief structures of our day and age are for the most part nothing more than monetary promotions of the elite. But that is our contention. We tend to think a group of extraordinarily wealthy families and individuals is involved in the launching of these promotions for purposes of profit and power. We think the monetary elite controls, one way or another, a lot of the world's wealth and many of its informational, military and financial organs. And they are not averse to using them to frighten the peoples of the world in order to the lay the groundwork for lucrative solutions.
These promotions, in our humble opinion, originating from certain think tanks, work their way inevitably into the larger public domain of the (mostly) Western world. We admit that we have no "smoking gun" necessarily. No single self-identified member of the monetary elite has sat down with us and provided us with a flow chart of how it works. (Though we have seen flow-charts aplenty.) But even if such a conversation did take place, what would it truly mean? That one person or another has voiced an opinion on a controversial subject. Having written that, we then return to our original contention and methodology, that the best way to figure out how the world works is to take a close look at it.
And in this case, global warming provides us with a salutary lesson. We don't believe there is such a thing currently. We believe that temperatures have been going DOWN for the past decade (a "time out" as Der Spiegel puts it) and thus we have to consider global warming (now climate change for obvious reasons) to be a promotion of the monetary elite. The single most important evidence that it is a dominant social theme launched and cultivated by this group of powerful insiders is that it won't go away. It is like the Terminator in those movies. You can drop a bomb of factoids on it and it still emerges from the flames and walks toward you unscathed with a grim expression on its scarred but impassive face.
So ... yesterday we pointed out that Der Spiegel had published an article attempting to explain why there was global warming even though temperatures had been falling for years. And today we have another article appearing that seems to show collusion to falsify data amongst the pro-global warming scientific community. Now we certainly don't KNOW there was collusion amongst global warming supporters. In fact, perhaps there was not! Even worse perhaps these reports are false and are designed to produce paranoid articles (like this one) about the perfidy of global warming types.
So why do we mention it? Because it gives us another excuse to point out to you that there is no better example of a dominant social theme - an elite promotion - than global warming. The money trail is obvious, the lack of response to obvious data that contradicts the meme is crystal clear, as are the reprehensible and urgent cries of warning from the elite's paid bureaucratic functionaries.
Here's a prediction. The Copenhagen convention to reduce global warming gases will go on as scheduled (there is too much money at stake) and some well-paid entertainer from the United Nations (or some other organization) is going to stand in front of the podium and solemnly explain that the world is about to burn to a crisp unless "we" take action within the next days and weeks. Will you turn off your refrigerator and sell your furnace? We won't. And we'll still eat hamburgers (and steak when we can afford it).
Conclusion: We would urge you not to be alarmed. And don't worry, dear reader, about an asteroid hitting your house, the swine flu wiping out your community, swarms of fecund Chinese and Indians (from India) swarming over your gardens and fields and eating everything in sight, roving bands of terrorists shouting Allahu akbar and shooting you in your bed as you cuddle with your loved one like a spoon, a sudden run on food, a lack of water, a power outage that will last several centuries, etc. etc. Dear reader, if you worry compulsively about all these things you will never come out of your basement. And then who will read the Bell?
