Miranda Devine in The Age:
Climate doomsayers caught out
We knew but never before had seen such proof of bad faith, overwhelming in its small detail, its shameless dishonesty, its meanness, its totalitarian tactics, pouncing on every deviation from The Word, as handed down by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Melanie Phillips in the UK Spectator:
Green totalitarianism
All the manipulation, distortion and suppression revealed by these emails took place because it would seem these scientists knew their belief was not only correct but unchallengeable; and so when faced with evidence that showed it was false, they tried every which way to make the data fit the prior agenda. And those who questioned that agenda themselves had to be airbrushed out of the record, because to question it was simply impossible. Only AGW zealots get to decide, apparently, what science is. Truth is what fits their ideological agenda. Anything else is to be expunged.
And there’s more… New Zealand has it’s own Climategate. The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition has just posted a report on data manipulation of New Zealand temperature data.

It seems that someone has altered the temperatures from the last 156 years in the official record by reducing earlier temperatures from 7 weather stations to make it look as though a warming trend has occurred. This does not match with the publicly-available temperature data that shows nearly-constant temperatures.
“Dr Jim Salinger (who no longer works for NIWA) started this graph in the 1980s when he was at CRU (Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK) and it has been updated with the most recent data. It’s published on NIWA’s website at http://www.niwa.co.nz/our- science/climate/information-and-resources/clivar/pastclimate and in their climate-related publications.”
When he worked at CRU in East Anglia huh? Where have I heard that name before?
Thanks, Huub – post up on this now.
