Nov. 17, 2009, the Climategate scandal broke and showed some of the world’s leading climate scientists to have been involved in fraudulently cooking the books by constructing an inexorably rising global temperature trend, thereby doing their utmost best to stoke climate fear and hysteria.

Yesterday I watched a bit of the news related to the climate-fear jamboree in Copenhagen, with its $10 million a day hotel accommodation bill (not counting meals and other perks), more than a thousand limousines and hundreds of private jet aircraft that need to be flown, after delivering their cargoes of climate-fear activist in Copenhagen, to other European airports to find space for them to park while the climate-fear jamboree runs its course.

Some of the news anchors mentioned the recent Climategate scandal and commented or reported some leading climate-fear activists remarking that [1] the “hacked e-mails” would not have any impact on the (foregone) conclusions of the Copenhagen climate conference, that”the data are okay.”

Well, at least Saudi Arabia now has very strong feelings on the demonstrated lack of any significant connection between human activities and climate trends.  The data are not okay, as illustrated in the following excellent analysis by Willis Eschenbach.

The Smoking Gun At Darwin Zero

People keep saying “Yes, the Climategate scientists behaved badly. But that doesn’t mean the data is bad. That doesn’t mean the earth is not warming.”

Let me start with the second objection first. The earth has generally been warming since the Little Ice Age, around 1650. There is general agreement that the earth has warmed since then. See e.g. Akasofu . Climategate doesn’t affect that.

The second question, the integrity of the data, is different. People say “Yes, they destroyed emails, and hid from Freedom of information Acts, and messed with proxies, and fought to keep other scientists’ papers out of the journals … but that doesn’t affect the data, the data is still good.” Which sounds reasonable….([3] Full Story, graphs and links)

No one who has looked at that analysis will still insist that “the data are okay.”

The analysis by Willis Eschenbach concerns the Australian portion of the global climate record.  Add to that the [4] similar falsifications of the New Zealand portion of the global climate record reconstruction, and it becomes irrefutably obvious that THE DATA ARE NOT OKAY!

But the Climategate scandal is not the only damaging news about the Copenhagen climate jamboree. Also identified at wattsupwiththat.com is this:

However, don’t hold your breath waiting for the main-stream media to report on the rampant climate-fear fraud at any time soon. Adolf Hitler had it right.

Hitler said:

The function of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.
