Author Points To "Climategate’s Perry Mason
Moment"
IPCC assessment on climate change must be rejected
as a valid scientific publication

Author Steve Milloy hits on another smoking gun to emerge from
the "ClimateGate" emails scandal today, referring
to it as a "Perry Mason moment".
Milloy, publisher of the website Junkscience.com,
reveals that in 2007 he privately
surveyed some of the scientists involved in the
scandal with interesting results in light of their leaked communications.
Kevin Trenberth, one of the lead authors of the
UN's IPCC report on climate change was one of those who responded
to the survey, Milloy notes:
One question asked:
Which best describes the role of manmade CO2 emissions
in climate change?
Trenberth checked off the following answer:
Manmade CO2 emissions drive climate change, but other natural
and human-related factors are also important.
Milloy notes that this is interesting given that
Trenberth's now exposed private emails reveal a different opinion.
In an October 14 email to fellow alarmist Tom
Wigley, Trenberth plaintively writes:
How come you do not agree with a statement that says we
are no where close to knowing where energy is going or whether
clouds are changing to make the planet brighter. We are
not close to balancing the energy budget. The fact that
we can not account for what is happening in the climate
system makes any consideration of geoengineering quite hopeless
as we will never be able to tell if it is successful or
not! It is a travesty!
"So — while in October 2007 Trenberth
seemed pretty convinced that he understood energy flows in the
climate system, two years later he underwent such an about-face
that he is now trying to get his colleagues to admit, at least
privately, that they really don’t know squat." Milloy
writes.
Milloy has gathered his fair share of detractors
over the years as a skeptic of the anthropogenic global warming
theory, mainly due to the fact that he has some organizational
ties to ExxonMobil. However, the raw data of his revelations
speaks for itself.
The IPCC's most recent assessment report, to which
Kevin Trenberth prominently contributed, was completed in 2007,
concluding that "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal"
and "Most of the observed increase in globally averaged
temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to
the observed increase in anthropogenic (human) greenhouse gas
concentrations."
That report still stands as the centerpiece driving
government policy on climate science worldwide. It has forged
a direct and incontrovertible move toward the implementation
of carbon taxes and cap and trade systems, to be further actioned
at the upcoming the Copenhagen talks.
Trenberth's emails show him to be at best morally
and professionally culpable for allowing unproven theory to
be written up as "unequivocal" scientific fact. At
worst they reveal him and his colleagues to be criminally involved
in an agenda to influence government policy through distortion
of the facts and outright lies.
In either case the IPCC's report should be immediately
rejected as a valid scientific document in the light of the
ClimateGate revelations. Instead it seems that it will continue
to be upheld as the pivotal force behind climate related negotiations
and legislation.
"They have no shame, and they will not go
away. So our struggle against them will continue." Milloy
concludes, "The difference now is that we are no longer
The Skeptics. We are The Vindicated."
