Hiding the Decline: Prologue
<p>According to the summaries I&#8217;ve seen, the 61 megabytes of email and documents net-jacked from the Climate Research Unit a few days ago do not &#8212; quite &#8212; reify conservatives&#8217; darkest fantasies about &#8220;the team&#8221; (as the network of professional anthropogenic-global-warming alarmists communicating through CRU likes to style itself). To do that, they&#8217;d have to contain marching orders from the Socialist International.</p>
<p>However, the excerpts I&#8217;ve seen are already quite damning enough; among other things, they are evidence of criminal conspiracy to violate the Freedom Of Information act. And I no longer have to speculate about the rest; I&#8217;ve downloaded the documents from Pirate Bay and will study them myself.</p>
<p>For those of you who have been stigmatizing AGW skeptics as &#8220;deniers&#8221; and dismissing their charges that the whole enterprise is fraudulent? Hope you like the taste of crow, because I do believe there&#8217;s a buttload of it coming at you. Piping hot.</p>
<p>Am I going to blog about it? Heh&#8230;try to stop me&#8230;</p>
<p>UPDATE: I&#8217;ve read about 10% of the material and started a file of notes on it, but been delayed by preparing for a major release on one of my projects. In the meantime, read <a href="http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2009/11/20/climate-cuttings-33.html">this excellent summary</a> with links to the original emails.</p>
