This just in: From Cold Fury. These guys pull no punches. . . oh yeah. . .They also tell the truth!!!
You knew this was coming, right? But there are two even more hilarious parts of the story in Tim’s post; one, this, from a warmal-coldening True Believer and NYT all-round idiot:
This is a criminal act of vandalism and of harassment of a group of scientists that are only going about their business doing science. It represents a whole new escalation in the war on climate scientists who are only trying to get at the truth…No, you are only trying to obscure the truth, you lying putz.
This illegal act of cyber-terrorism against a climate scientist (and I don’t think that’s too strong a word) is ominous and frightening. What next? Deliberate monkeying with data on servers? Insertion of bugs into climate models? Or at the next level, since the forces of darkness have moved to illegal operations, will we all have to get bodyguards to do climate science?Not if you’re actually doing science, no. If you’re continuing to try to bilk, swindle, and stampede the public into approving more government control, exorbitant taxation, and promoting general deprivation with your Climate Change (formerly Global Warming, formerly Global Cooling, formerly “the weather”) scam, then yeah, you damned well ought to be watching your backs. Just as any other con artist has to.
But perhaps even more hilarious is this lame, ass-covering rationalization for the NYT’s refusal to report on the scandal (CAUTION: both this and the link immediately preceding are to the NYT; please proceed with the skepticism usual when dealing with these lying propagandists):
A thick file of private emails and unpublished documents generated by an array of climate scientists over 13 years was obtained by a hacker from a British university climate research center and has since spread widely across the Internet starting Thursday afternoon. Before they propagated, the purloined documents, nearly 200 megabytes in all, were uploaded surreptitiously on Tuesday to a server supporting the global warming Web site realclimate.org, along with a draft mock post, said Gavin Schmidt, a NASA climate scientist managing that blog. He pulled the plug before the fake post was published.There. Fixed it for ya, asshole.
The documentsappear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eyeblow vast, gaping holes in our Coldal Globening flimflam, so they won’t be posted here.
Funny how they weren’t nearly so ethically exacting about such things when it concerned national security or Sarah Palin’s private e-mails, innit?
