It looks as if all those good folks so eager to expose a grand conspiracy on the part of climate scientists have in fact been playing the part of willing (albeit unwitting) accomplices in one of the cleverest pieces of black propaganda of recent years. It seems increasingly probable that the whole exercise has been masterminded by the Russian security services – formerly known as the KGB – who have a proud track record in this respect.

Vladimir Putin, a former KGB man himself, must be chuckling at the ease with which effective action to place curbs on the fossil fuel industry has been sabotaged. His oil industry cronies are doubtless equally delighted.

And the most delicious aspect of it is the way in which a horde of journalists and bloggers have been so rapidly enlisted to play the part of what the old KGB used to call ‘useful idiots’.

“You must know this about the leaked files. While the emails were damming, the real ‘meat’ was in sections of computer code leaked. Skeptical climate scientists have already studied it and find it an amazing manipulation that takes real temperature data and turns into a warming fairytale. Since this data forms the baseline for the research used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this is huge. Those who counter this argument by saying there [are] three other data bases, and the two that use surface temperatures agree with this data, need to rethink what they are saying. Think about it. This indicates that since the Angelica University data is scientifically meaningless, and the scientists at the other centers are in constant contact with the scientists there, there is a strong likelihood their data is similarly without scientific merit.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – Top White House science officials defended the validity of global warming research against repeated Republican attacks Wednesday that cited leaked e-mails from some climate researchers.

The e-mails from a British university’s climate center were obtained by computer hackers and released last month. Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent.

At a Capitol Hill hearing, the president’s science adviser and the chief of the agency in charge of climate research said the e-mails did nothing to undermine scientific consensus on climate change. Some Republicans said they showed a “culture of corruption” among scientists.

JunkScience shall miss AGW, in the years ahead. The topic has been fun while it lasted.

Now Eco-Science has been so obviously revealed to be lemmings serving political ends, AGW may turn out to be a high water mark of folly. What new story can they concoct in the years ahead that will be able to rival this epic eco-con?

Melanie Phillips calls him “…a green catastrophist and conspiracy theorist of the first order”, which is rather overly kind, in my opinion.

He’s batty. He actually tried to “arrest” John Bolton

He should be the one who gets locked up, in the looney bin for the criminally deranged.

It’s one thing to have paranoid fantasies, but it’s another to act on them. Monbiot’s violent ranting, and support for not only nonsensical garbage but dangerous agendas of dangerous people, puts him in a class with the sociopath, or even borderline anti-social. He worse than just “misguided.”

And as to him being “better” than “the politicians for whom the ends justify any means,” he’s been the most vocal supporter of the socialist freaks (politicians and pseudo-scientists) who want to take away our freedom in the name of cocked-up phony “global warming.” You can’t be “better” than the skanks you sleep with, and he is most definitely NOT.

Sorry, I thought I proofed it.

Global Warming is an epic farce and the New York Times one of its enabling cheerleaders, as the captive newspaper of the Democratic Party.

A decade or two ago, the Times had an honest environmental reporter who decided dioxin was not much of a threat. Revkin is no similar profile in intellectual integrity.
