A collection of pertinent emails from Climategate 2
A collection of pertinent quotes from Climategate 2.
I come to two conclusions as I read these and earlier emails.
- The IPCC process has nothing to do with science and should not be considered a valid reference source.
- The scientists involved are as unsure of the science as the skeptics, but don’t want anyone to know.
Both of these facts are important to recognize in order to decide what sources of information are reliable in studying this issue. And obviously, this means that almost any reports or press announcements coming out of Durbin this week are untrustworthy.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Speaking of reliability of sources, how is it that supposedly there were over 200,000 emails. The released number is 5,000.
Who decided to hold back 195,000 of those emails, and why?
Why be selective?
I would question any source that decides FOR ME what I can read.
Meanwhile, they’re at it again in Durban:
Durban: Protests ahead of UN climate convention
“Durban: More than 6000 people gathered in Durban to ask for climate justice ahead of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. ”
Some creative financing:
UN climate conference: In Durban, Pakistan wins ‘Robin Hood’ award
That’s not a slam, it’s supposed to be a compliment:
“DURBAN:
Pakistan won the ‘Robin Hood’ award at the UN climate talks for proposing financial transaction tax (FTT) as an innovative source of financing the Green Climate Fund (GCF), on Saturday.
. . . .
…the FTT is easy to implement and monitor and can raise money in hundreds and billions,”
. . . .
The Financial Transaction Tax, also known as the Robin Hood tax, is a small levy of 0.01%-0.05% imposed on the trade of stocks, derivates, currency, and other financial instruments.”
As usual, there are a few unresolved bits:
“It is also not clear at this stage how this fund will be used and what areas will be specifically addressed through it. There seems to be some debate over distribution too, if it gets materialised.”
“Robin Hood” is a good reference. He stole from the rich, took his cut, and gave the rest away.
