yellojktLooks like we’re in for another round of hide the decline, as a new batch of hacked emails from our favorite climate scientists are released.
I predict that the same institution that thoroughly investigated the molestation charges around Sandusky and the football program will do an equally thorough job in investigating Michael “hockey stick” Mann. Look for the the discussion to be focused on who hacked the emails versus what the emails actually say. I also suspect we’ll hear about “context” and nuance. Finally, “The Cause” will, of course, be defined as the cause of science. I, like Ace, don’t beleive it of course, but it’ll be shouted from the rooftops.
Should be a fun IPCC meeting this year.

el troll failed to offer a link, so I had to look up my own sources to find out what he's talking about. Fascinating: "A new batch of nearly 230,000 illegally hacked emails is up online in the same old places the last batch went up in November of 2009… they all appear to predate the 2009 release and so are just more of the same, held back until now." This longer excerpt has more of that dreaded context: "In 2009, the "climategate" hack "coincidentally" happened just before the Copenhagen climate summit and the build-up to the climate bill in congress. In yet another strange coincidence of timing, this new theft just happens to come just before the upcoming U.N. climate conference in South Africa and on the heels of the IPCC's new report linking the increase in extreme weather events to climate change, together with the BEST study.BEST, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study, was run by physicist Richard Muller, a climate skeptic. To the dismay of the energy industry-funded denialist community, after crunching 1.2 billion data points Muller found last month that in fact climate scientists have been right all along and their data is solid – the Earth is getting warmer at a very rapid pace.Muller published a striking oped about it in the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal. The Journal published the oped online but, not surprisingly considering their owner, they decided not to run it in their print edition. Muller said the time for skepticism is over. Murdoch-owned Fox News was a major promoter of the last climate email scandal-that-wasn't, and a Fox executive actually ordered Fox News reporters to slant their coverage of climate change to favor deniers.So now that the science is getting even stronger, it's time to redirect the public's attention with renewed personal attacks and illegally hacked emails that cherry pick quotes, take them out of context, and try to spin them and confuse the public. What the heck – it worked last time."

For some reason it did not embed my link, my apologies. It was my understanding that the study has not finished the peer review process and has not been published, is it published now?

Here is the Climategate link.I'm pretty sure Muller has doubts about Currey's support of "The Cause."

This was chewed over pretty thoroughly in a recent thread. I just got off a long conversation with an old friend who happens to have been my PhD supervisor. He has a long running dispute with another friend of mine–my former post-doctoral supervisor. I'm sure if the blogosphere cared about the singlet-triplet cross sections, they'd find equally snarky things to say.BB

This continued attempt to refute the science by disgracing the scientists is just red meat for deniers/skeptics. I hardly see a new scandal emerging that will affect the scientific consensus.

yello:This continued attempt to refute the science by disgracing the scientists…Does it bother you at all that one of the leading voices of climate science is so easily disgraced?
