We are approaching the 40th anniversary of the original Watergate burglaries. Although everyone has heard of the scandal, most people have either forgotten or are too young to remember that the purpose of the Watergate burglaries was to copy documents listing donors to the Democratic Party and their financial contributions, either hoping or expecting to […]
Despite its acclaim among the climate community, the recent Virginia decision (linked from article here) that public agencies are not subject to the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (FATA) is hardly one that resolves any real issue. The decision was not based on a rational consideration of whether Cuccinnelli had sufficient grounds to investigate Mann […]
Lynn Truss‘ book on punctuation “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” received astonishing coverge. The title of the book is based on the following joke: A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons. ‘Why?’ asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst […]
I’ve appealed to the Information Tribunal, continuing the longstanding effort by David Holland and I to obtain the attachments to Wahl’s surreptitious email to Briffa, containing Wahl’s changes to the IPCC assessment of the Hockey Stick from the assessment sent out to external reviewers. (Wahl’s changes appear to have been incorporated unchanged in the final […]
Andrew Lacis of GISS has an extraordinary comment at Judy Curry’s that prompted today’s post. Lacis classified Gleick’s conduct as merely a “political prank”. Unfortunately for Gleick, the issue is not what Lacis thinks, but whether his admitted acts (leaving the fake memo aside for now) meet all the elements of 18 USC 1343 (wire […]
As reader Paul Matthews observed, the Pacific Institute has a new (Feb 27) press release on its website today, but has deleted its Feb 21 and Feb 22 statements. I presume that this was a trick (TM – climate science) to hide Gleick’s decline. A residue of the Feb 22, 2012 press statement can be […]
Michael Kelly’s sensible questions at the Oxburgh Inquiry were suppressed by Lord Oxburgh of FalckRenewables and Cefn Croes, but were made available through unopposed FOI. Kelly’s letter to the Times today (h/t Bishop Hill) sets out a position not much different than Lindzen’s: The interpretation of the observational science has been consistently over-egged to produce […]
Dr UK in a comment draws attention to the following exchange in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream: Bottom (wearing the head of an ass): Nay, I can gleek upon occasion. Titania: Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful.
Some years ago, Daniel Butler hosted a television show called “America’s Dumbest Criminals” (trailer), entry to which Peter Gleick richly deserves.
The Gleick emails in which he perpetrated his identity fraud to obtain documents are online here. I’ll collate information in a few minutes. Here’s my interpretation of this latest information on the chronology. All times shown in the Heartland jpg images of emails appear to be in Central Time. It looks to me like Gleick […]
