Climategate reveals “a level of scientific chicanery of the most appalling kind”
A former New Zealand journalist now publishing Poneke’s Weblog has posted a 4600-word analysis of the ClimateGate emails. Poneke writes: “This is the longest and most important article I’ve yet written for this blog and I make no apology for its 4600 words — more also than in any newspaper article. As a journalist, I believe the Climategate emails have exposed one of the most significant news stories of the decade. As the mainstream news media has so far barely gone beyond giving those who wrote them and their supporters time and space to deny their undeniable contents, I present here an extensive journalistic account of what they actually say in the context of the dates and events in which they were written, with full links to all the emails.
“Having now read all the Climategate emails, I can conclusively say they demonstrate a level of scientific chicanery of the most appalling kind that deserves the widest possible public exposure.”

Poneke’s Weblog links to a 63,000-word analysis and commentary on the ClimateGate emails by Melbourne physicist Dr John P Costella.
Dr Costella writes: “Climategate has shattered that myth. It gives us a peephole into the work of the scientists investigating possibly the most important issue ever to face mankind. Instead of seeing large collaborations of meticulous, careful, critical scientists, we instead see a small team of incompetent cowboys, abusing almost every aspect of the framework of science to build a fortress around their “old boys’ club”, to prevent real scientists from seeing the shambles of their “research”. Most people are aghast that this could have happened; and it is only because “climate science” exploded from a relatively tiny corner of academia into a hugely funded industry in a matter of mere years that the perpetrators were able to get away with it for so long.”

@ Graham Coghill
a typical, sarcastic reaction from another those who would silence debate on this extremely debatable subject.
And Graham, a wise man (Oscar Wilde… i think?) made the point that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I’d say your arrogant dismissal of these fellows’ hard work (likely without having read a word of it) is definitely a case of “schoolboy stuff”.
Really no need to be nasty, just because we are not all as hysterical as some might be about this particular subject. Respect & good manners cost nothing so even a good socialist like you can afford them (whoops, couldn’t resist).
Wow, 4600 words! That must signify that this is a really significant and truthful document!
And it links to another doccument that has 63,000 words! Even wowier!
Really guys, this is schoolboy stuff. “My essay is better than yours because it’s got more words!”
Does 63,000 words of nonsensical claptrap carry more weight than 4600 words of nonsensical claptrap?
MR Coghill,
It is ever so easy and pointless to just slag off.
Instead of mouthing off why not read the essays and analyse their contents. Then let us all have the benefit of your research and tell us what is incorrect and why.
Of course I am assuming you can read!
Its a F******* disgrace and these guys should be jailed along with all those who supported the largest un-scientific fraud in history but no henny penny and her dolphin hating friends still run free to cause more chaos
