Comments on: The Hoax of Man-Made Global Warming and the Subsequent Media Cover-up http://urbangrounds.com/2009/11/global-warming-hoax/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:57:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pat http://urbangrounds.com/2009/11/global-warming-hoax/#comment-157091 Pat Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:58:38 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/?p=8076#comment-157091 <a href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/11/the-cru-hack/#more-1853" rel="nofollow">More interesting</a> is what is not contained in the emails. There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research, no grand plan to ‘get rid of the MWP’, no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no ‘marching orders’ from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords. The truly paranoid will put this down to the hackers also being in on the plot though. Instead, there is a peek into how scientists actually interact and the conflicts show that the community is a far cry from the monolith that is sometimes imagined. People working constructively to improve joint publications; scientists who are friendly and agree on many of the big picture issues, disagreeing at times about details and engaging in ‘robust’ discussions; Scientists expressing frustration at the misrepresentation of their work in politicized arenas and complaining when media reports get it wrong; Scientists resenting the time they have to take out of their research to deal with over-hyped nonsense. None of this should be shocking. More interesting is what is not contained in the emails.
