Climategate 2 Emails Loaded with Bombshells

Published December 5, 2011

New and explosive revelations continue to emerge from the Climategate 2 emails, two weeks after the 5,000-plus emails were first publicly unveiled. While Climategate 2 does not share the “novelty factor” of Climategate 1, the contents of the Climategate 2 emails are at least as appalling as Climategate 1. Most importantly, the Climategate 2 emails show scientists at the forefront of global warming activism acknowledging serious flaws in alarmist global warming theory, working together to hide data contradicting alarmist global warming theory, and taking concerted and nefarious action to ruin the careers of scientists and peer-reviewed science journal editors who publish studies and data that undermine alarmist global warming claims.

Global warming activists and their sympathetic media allies are attempting to paint the Climategate stories as merely frustrated scientists understandably acting catty in response to incessant personal attacks from global warming skeptics. Such a storyline is about as accurate and believable as painting the Watergate scandal as Richard Nixon merely and understandably acting catty in response to incessant personal attacks from Democrats and a hostile media.

With so many emails released in Climategate 2, new revelations are being reported on a daily basis. Meteorologist Anthony Watts provides a good running summary of some of the most damning emails here at WattsUpWithThat?
