Data from the research of the British scientists P. Jones exposed in Climategate was used in official report on Climate Change to US Congress.
Climategate began when anonymous hacker published on Internet tons of e-mails of Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. The correspondence seems to suggest that the data in the research was tempered with in non-scientific ways.
Mr. Jones’s research was used in an official document presented to the President of the USA and the US Congress in October 2009.
Mr P. D. Jones is featured on p.17 of the report to US Congress as co-author of a science paper “Consistency of modelled and observed temperature trends in the tropical troposphere”, International Journal of Climatology.
To make sure it is the same scientist I followed the publication and was able to confirm that P.D. Jones was representing in the research cited for the US Congress a Climatic Research Unit, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich.
The report was made available to Congress in October and the Introduction letter is signed by Dr. John P. Holdren, Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. Holdren is featured in the e-mails hacked and released in the wake of the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen.
There is a great possibility in the light of the British Climategate that somebody was feeding US Congress wrong information and fake data. Congressional Investigation is underway. Aides to Representative Darrell Issa (Republican, California), who is the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, have begun analyzing the correspondence exposed by hackers. The scandal is about to damage the Global Warming Movement as the science behind it is under investigation in Britain and now in the US.
President Obama changed his mind and decided to go to the UN Climate Summit. Does he know that the official report that he was handed in October may contain fake data?

Amazing!
The data are in the faces of Man-Made Climate Change supporters and they still refuse to acknowledge the evidence.
These same scientists threatened my job with the US Geological Survey when trying to publish a study showing with higher confidence that global temperature changes were natural and caused solely by Earth’s physical processes. Additionally, these same scientists would not discuss or refute the science and facts presented. Instead, they took two days to personally insult and attack me.
I always knew that when man-made global climate change was shown as insignificant that people would lose faith, note the word “FAITH”, in science. But this event and exposure is by far worse for the science community; but “Truth is the daughter of Time (Francis Bacon)”.
Several USGS scientists got fired for the same thing when discussing data manipulation for models developed for the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. But no outcry and defense for those scientists?
IF you see no problem with this and not wondering if the public has been misled by these scientists, then you are not scientists, you’re in denial, and you stand for no moral principles.
On 25 November 2009 at 12:15 PM, I tried to post comments on RealClimate.org concerning this matter. That website refused the posts because they know me; another attempt to silence objective parties and since they were the ones that threatened my job…..
Now, Al Gore PUBLICLY states Mantle temperatures are MILLIONS of DEGREES. The man doesn’t have the morality, decency, and/or courage to publicly admit he was WRONG. SO WHY SHOULD these scientists admit they are wrong? They can’t, because if they do, the gig is up.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
I’ve heard that Climategate is a major issue around the globe with the exception of the state run media in the USA. They must still be looking for a plausible explanation.
I also heard that interview with Al Gore where he said the earth’s core was millions of degrees. What a joke that jackass is. He makes it up as he goes and his cover has been blown. He should be arrested and tried for perpetrating the biggest hoax ever on mankind.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
No matter how hard you want to believe that climate change is a hoax, nothing is going to change the laws of physics which basically show that CO2 absorbs solar radiation and holds on to it. As we pour gigatonnes of the stuff into the atmosphere every year that was formerly held in rock for hundreds of millions of years, we are altering the climate.
Honestly, if we could not save your ass, that would be fine with me, but seeing as we don’t have a choice but to drag your retarded body along with us, that’s just how it’s gonna be.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
the deal is honest scientists have been bashed around for so long by these imposture scientists that they stung them at just the right time to ensure maximum damage.. This is just science correcting itself.. The UN IPCC is a fiction based left wing creative writing body that hasn’t a clue what its talking about.. The scientists who planned the inside job (no smash and grab) knew full well a little light would be the end of them.. We get to sit back and enjoy the show as the fraudsters twist and turn on their way out the door.. finally science back in the hands of scientists..
November 26th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
No no no dont even try and convince a pro warming believer.. They are lost in their own dogma and nothing short of a flame thrower will change their minds.. You cant reason with a brainwashed person.. They have to be deprogramed and that takes alot of time and effort.
Put your energy into emailing and phone calls to your government for a full public inquiry..
November 26th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Ok I cant resist.. CO2 absorbs solar radiation..
Gee I guess it does you brainwashed retard. all .04 of 1% of it. Its so small that it cant be measured.. So your junior high hero’s had to fake the numbers.. Thus we have CLIMATEGATE.. are we getting through or do you need a larger font? Sorry for being rude but its hard to resist..
November 26th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
If you feel compelled to save something save your money.. and leave me alone to live my life as I see fit. Your snake oil solutions to fantasy problems has run its hollywood glitz course and it lacking to say the least.
Understand this climate Change thing has been pulled out of the secret garden (kicking and screaming) and now sits in the light of the day. As if the emails arnt damning enough the data (the other 100mb) is gonna rock your world like you never imagined.

I find it interesting that most degreed conservatives are in the fields of Business, Engineering, and Medicine. (These careers require them to perform with measurable metrics and proven success.
Liberals on the other hand, have degrees in Liberal Arts, Literature, Journalism, Education, Politics, Law, and now Environmental “science”. (None of these have ANY measurable metric with which to base success or failure, yet they are allowed to thrive).
Tell me which group is really capable of even having a discussion based on Facts and Truth. (I’ll give you a hint – its not hippy anti-american, anti-conservative, anti-family, anti-responsibility, anti-religion whiners who have free time every day to protest).

Entirely unsurprising. Perhaps you’re not aware that realclimate is owned by Arlie Schardt, aka Al Gore’s press officer (Environmental Media Services is his company).

Out 396 + 17 + 80 = 493 watt/m2
Accumulation = 1 watt/m2

any “scientist” caught distributing manufactured facts about climate change should be barred from any job in government forever, and barred from working in any capacity at any publicly funded school in the country. these scumbags are using their positions and titles to intentionally lie to us for their own self serving purposes. and, when they tell us that this was a noble endeavor remember that this was more about money than nobility. these people are scum and need to be treated as scum. william farrell

Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr. discusses how discussion of evidence which disagrees with the Jones, Karl, etc. story was squelched.

The climate Humpty-Dumpty is off the wall and the science community needs to get off the fence. We must now discover the ‘who’, the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of this fraud. The Hadley hacking is one great leap for humanity. Interestingly, my article “Only an Airhead Can Save Us From Air” was also read into the Congressional Record along with the UK version of Dr ‘Huckster’ Phil.

McINtyre and McKitrick show that applying Santer and Jones’ own methodology through 2008 (instead of just to 1999) invalidates their paper. See: http://arxiv.org/pdf/0905.0445
An updated comparison of model ensemble and observed temperature trends in the tropical troposphere, Stephen McIntyre(1), Ross McKitrick (2)
“A debate exists over whether tropical troposphere temperature trends in climate models
are inconsistent with observations (Karl et al. 2006, IPCC (2007), Douglass et al 2007,
Santer et al 2008). Most recently, Santer et al (2008, herein S08) asserted that the
Douglass et al statistical methodology was flawed and that a correct methodology showed
there is no statistically significant difference between the model ensemble mean trend and
either RSS or UAH satellite observations. However this result was based on data ending
in 1999. Using data up to the end of 2007 (as available to S08) or to the end of 2008 and
applying exactly the same methodology as S08 results in a statistically significant
difference between the ensemble mean trend and UAH observations and approaching
statistical significance for the RSS T2 data. The claim by S08 to have achieved a “partial
resolution” of the discrepancy between observations and the model ensemble mean trend
is unwarranted.”

“John Says:

… laws of physics which basically show that CO2 absorbs solar radiation and holds on to it…”
Say John, can you demonstrate this to me? Show me the law of physics that says CO2 “absorbs solar radiation” and “holds on to it”.
You have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what you are talking about. Firstly, CO2 is TRANSPARENT to “solar radiation”, and secondly, NO MOLECULE “absorbs and holds on to” ANY energy. It is reflected and re-emitted. CO2 is only opaque to a very small bandwidth of LONG-WAVE (Infrared) radiation, NOT SHORT-WAVE (visible light) radiation.
GET A CLUE!!!

WAKE UP!
Global warming is the pathway for progressive liberals to control every facet of your lives. They will use any means, ANY including lying to say global warming exists. Once this is stated as fact then they can control how much companies manufacture, do away with fossil fueled vehicles and replace them with electric cars(raise electric taxes), tell you how much food you can have, and every other thing you can think of. Anything can be tied to “global warming” in the name of the environment.
Once this happens the government will literally take over our lives. If this happens The Constitution is gone and so are all of our personal liberties. WAKE UP!
The end result is a socialist government unfamiliar to Americans that will do as it pleases in the name of the environment. Taxes will be collected for everything including electric(for the electric cars), how much food you buy, how many solar panels you should have on your house by law, when your company will be forced to stop manufacturing and put you on a layoff, etc.
Now, who will benefit? All the liberals that have stock in carbon footprint credits, solar panel and windmill investments, environmetal agendas, etc. Liberals will use the government to stop competing companies that do not agree with progressivism and allow the companies that are progressives to continue. This is for power and control, not the environment.

The logical fallacy here is, in order to swallow this crap, you have to say that scientists are not really scientists, that they are all sort of fake, or something.
Of course this is not true. The scientific method is just the opposite of this. Science is above all your crappy political BS. Science is holy. And no matter how much you try to spin things or take things out of context or whatever, scientists remain motivated by something far higher, which is the total opposite of what you are all about:
TRUTH.

Thank you, StewartIII, I am glad that News Busters linked to RP, as this post was my own research. They did a good job with the document too, but I broke the story first.
