Dr. Weaver partiallly recants (his abaondonment of IPCC) in Jan 29 Victoria Times Colonist letter to editor. Not sure what he really means, but that isn’t new.

Let’s be grateful for small steps in the direction of disclosure and truth. This doesn’t brighten my view of the NSERC tower of power, but Dr. Weaver has at least pulled one of his wellies out of the quicksand…

Canadian scientist says UN’s global warming panel ‘crossing the line

A senior Canadian climate scientist says the United Nations’ panel on global warming has become tainted by political advocacy, that its chairman should resign, and that its approach to science should be overhauled.

Andrew Weaver, a climatologist at the University of Victoria, says the leadership of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has allowed it to advocate for action on global warming, rather than serve simply as a neutral science advisory body.

On Dec 10, Weaver to the Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/737517–campus-break-ins-target-leading-researcher

But the University of Victoria professor admits it looks suspiciously like he was singled out when his campus office was broken into twice in the past year, the only one so targeted in his building on the campus. His papers were rifled through and a computer stolen.

“It was mainly the intrusion of it and done twice within three days,” Weaver said Thursday. “There’s no conspiracy theories. The issue is really about the harassment of climate scientists.”

“Weaver said that the ruffling of his papers was ‘evidence of a larger effort to discredit climate science’”.

Salient commentary on the standard of evidence necessary to convince a member of the ‘consensus’.

Dear Dr. Weaver,
Please ignore the jesting and reply to the skepticism of Drs. Lindzen and Schaffer in the strongest possible terms, using science to smash their arguments to pieces.

We had a laptop full of science stolen from our place. Should I let Weaver know?

Steve: Yes. I think that you should inform Weaver and see if he would investigate for you.

Richard Graves has a great post about the real scandal, and I think he’s right on, given the fact that there was another attempt last week to hack a Canadian Government Centre’s e-mails.

Here’s “It’s Getting Hot In Here – Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement” trying their best to conjure a conspiracy. The link in the quote above points to a piece on the Huffington Post site that’s, well how should I put it, off on a tangent.

The real scandal is not the email archive, or even how it was acquired, sorted, and uploaded to a Russian server, but rather the emerging evidence of a coordinated international campaign to target and harass climate scientists, break and enter into government climate labs, and misrepresent climate science through a sophisticated media infrastructure on the eve of the international climate talks.

Climatism just doesn’t get any better than this.
