Global Warming Liars?

Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute

"...they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change."

"In one e-mail exchange, a scientist writes of using a statistical “trick” in a chart illustrating a recent sharp warming trend."

"Some skeptics asserted Friday that the correspondence revealed an effort to withhold scientific information. “This is not a smoking gun; this is a mushroom cloud,” said Patrick J. Michaels, a climatologist who has long faulted evidence pointing to human-driven warming and is criticized in the documents."


"Through the last century, tree rings and thermometers show a consistent rise in temperature until 1960, when some tree rings, for unknown reasons, no longer show that rise, while the thermometers continue to do so until the present."

-Why is this important? Because if use tree rings for data when thermometers readings weren't taken then your distorting the data. You would need to throw out all use of tree rings, then you limited to just a few years since data from thermometers is limited. And thus you can't make any valid conclusions about global warming.
