Mar 7, 1996 - Nov 12, 2009 PERIOD COVERED BY CRU E-MAILS OTHER DOCUMENTS AND DATA FILES GO BACK TO MAY 31, 1991 (AS PER THE FILES' LAST EDIT DATE) Jun 1988 WMO AND UNEP ESTABLISH THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). Oct 9, 2009 BBC: WHAT HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING? "For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures. And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise." [42] Jun 4, 2003 OVERPECK: CONTAIN THE MWP MANN confirms DEMING'S 1995 statement. See {MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD 1995}, when he (MANN) refers to an earlier "Peck" memo to "contain" the MWP: MANN: "... addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to 'contain' the putative 'MWP' ... " [1054736277.txt] See {MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD 1995}, {IPCC 1990}, and {IPCC 2001} to understand how critically important this admission is. 1990 FIRST IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORT Lead authors and other contributors to the report include senior staff from the UK Meteorological Office and CRU [130]. The temperature graph shown is Figure 7c from the 1990 IPCC report. This graph was created by Hubert Lamb, CRU's first Director [125], and shows the Medieval Warm Period of 1000 years ago and the Little Ice Age of 300 years ago, which, as David Evans explains in his article "A Simple Proof that Global Warming Is Not Man-Made" is just that. [25] Both the MWP and LIA were global phenomena and major problems for the CO2/man-made global warming theory, so the hockey team needed to eliminate them, which is what MANN'S 1999 hockey stick graph accomplished. [36] [127] See {MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD 1995}. As a result, the IPCC replaced its temperature graph in 2001 with MANN'S now discredited "hockey stick" graph (see {MCINTYRE AND MCKITRICK Nov.2003}) that flattened the MWP and LIA, and turned dramatically upward in the mid- twentieth century, creating an impression that global temperatures had previously been stable. 1995 MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD: "WE HAVE TO GET RID OF IT" A major problem for the Anthropogenic (i.e., Man-made) Global Warming theory is the Medieval Warm Period of a thousand years ago. The MWP was a time when global temperatures were much warmer than today's. Indeed "more than 700 scientists from 400 institutions in 40 countries have contributed to peer-reviewed papers providing evidence that the Medieval Warm Period, which the IPCC has tried to deny, was real, global, and warmer than the present." [94] (Also see [63] and graphs [top 26, middle 36, bottom 64].) During the MWP, Chaucer spoke of vineyards in northern England [128] [129]. "All over the city of London there are little memories of the vineyards that grew in the [MWP]." [137] "An agronomist at Virginia Tech suggests that if you are planning to start a vineyard, the roots of the vines cannot be exposed to temperatures below 25oF or the vine will die. Even though there were no thermometers at the time of Eric the Red, this gives us a benchmark for reference. In fact, the Smithsonian reports that there is evidence which supports the theory that the Viking colonies later collapsed as a result of a dramatically cooling climate." [78] (To learn more, see "On the Vikings and Greenland" [86].) Clearly these high MWP temperatures could not have been due to man-made CO2. [25] In general, warm periods have coincided with human prosperity and progress, while cool periods have coincided with suffering, disease, and famine. [70] Following the MWP was the Little Ice Age: a time when the River Thames froze (evidenced in paintings and in social events held on the river [136]). The LIA proves Earth has been steadily warming for centuries (see {GLACIER FACTS 2008}), contradicting the claim that recent warming is anomalous. In addition, there was the 3,000 year Holocene Maximum of 7,000 years ago when temperatures were also significantly higher than today's. [138] [123]. Together, the HC, MWP, and LIA show that global temperatures fluctuate several degrees from natural causes with no ill-effects. However, because the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were fatal to the AGW theory, the hockey team needed to erase them. With reference to this, David Deming, a geophysicist at the University of Oklahoma, wrote the following concerning a 1995 e-mail he received, and about which he has testified [58]: "They thought I was one of them, someone who would pervert science in the service of social and political causes. So one of them let his guard down. A major person working in the area of climate change and global warming sent me an astonishing email that said 'We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.'" [59] And this is what MANN'S 1999 hockey stick graph accomplished. [36] [127] Compare the temperature graph from the 1990 IPCC report with the one in the 2001 IPCC report (see {IPCC 1999} and {IPCC 2001}). The 2001 report used MANN'S now discredited hockey stick graph that flattened the MWP and LIA to make it appear that modern global temperatures were unusually high. Despite MANN'S creativity, both OVERPECK and JONES remained convinced the MWP and LIA were real. In 2003 Overpeck wanted to "'contain' the putative 'MWP'" (see {OVERPECK 4.Jun.2003}), while in 2004, Jones contested MWP and LIA temperatures, based on feelings rather than facts: JONES: "[There] is no way the MWP (whenever it was) was as warm globally as the last 20 years. There is also no way a whole decade in the LIA period was more than 1 deg C on a global basis cooler than the 1961-90 mean. This is all gut feeling, no science...." [1098472400.txt] A warm peak in 1940 was another obstacle for AGW theorists, since it occurred before significant man-made CO2 emissions (see {GRAPH 1981}). A programmer's notation in the CRU software (see {HOW TO HIDE 7.Sep.1998}) to "Apply a VERY ARTIFICIAL correction for decline" appears to reveal the CRU's method for erasing the problem: The recorded peak was artificially lowered, and subsequent temperatures hiked. [153] Jun 12, 1996 WALL STREET JOURNAL, "A MAJOR DECEPTION OF GLOBAL WARMING," BY FREDERICK SEITZ "This IPCC report, like all others, is held in such high regard largely because it has been peer- reviewed. That is, it has been read, discussed, modified, and approved by an international body of experts. These scientists have laid their reputations on the line. But, this report is not what it appears to be -- it is not the version that was approved by the contributing scientists listed on the title page. In my more than 60 years as a member of the American scientific community, including service as president of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society, I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.... "The following passages are examples of those included in the report as approved by the scientists but deleted from the supposedly peer-reviewed published version: - 'None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed [climate] changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases.' - 'No study to date has positively attributed all or part [of the climate change observed to date] to anthropogenic [man-made] causes.'" [15] "A leading article in Nature (June 13 [1996]), while dismissive of IPCC critics, had to admit that 'phrases that might have been (mis)interpreted as undermining ... [IPCC] conclusions ... "disappeared" in the revision process.'" [14] "[Dr. Benjamin] Santer was lead author of Chapter 8 for the 1995 IPCC Report and involved in [this] major controversy. He altered contents of the Chapter so it agreed with the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) without consent of other authors." [13] "Santer ... has always taken full responsibility for making the actual changes, although he has not been forthcoming in revealing who instructed him to make such revisions and who approved them after they were made. He has, however, told others privately that he was asked [prevailed upon?] to do so by IPCC co-chairman John Houghton. ... [A] November 15 letter from the State Department ... [instructed] Dr. Houghton to 'prevail upon' chapter authors 'to modify their texts in an appropriate manner following discussion in Madrid.'" [14] DECEMBER 12, 2009: UPDATE ON THE IPCC'S "PEER REVIEW" PROCESS LORD CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON, REPORTING FROM THE COPENHAGEN IPCC CONFERENCE: "[IPCC Chairman Rajendra] Pachauri asked us to believe that the IPCC's documents were 'peer-reviewed'. Then he revealed the truth by saying that it was the authors of the IPCC's climate assessments who decided whether the reviewers' comments were acceptable. That -- whatever else it is -- is not peer review." [76] 1992 IPCC SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT THE UNFCCC IS CREATED Creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, "a body that supports the operation of a treaty of the same name and that treaty asserts that manmade emissions of carbon dioxide cause warming." [130] 1995 SECOND IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORT As with the IPCC's 1990 report, key lead authors and other contributors to the report include senior staff from the UK Meteorological Office and CRU. [130] SANTER was responsible for a highly controversial rewriting of key passages in the 1995 IPCC report (see {WALL STREET JOURNAL 12.Jun.1996}). BEFORE: "No study to date has positively attributed all or part [of observed climate change] to anthropogenic causes." - IPPC 1995 [126] BEFORE: "When will an anthropogenic effect on climate be identified? It is not surprising that the best answer to this question is, 'We do not know.'" -- IPCC 1995 [126] AFTER: "The body of ... evidence now points to a discernible human influence on global climate." -- IPCC 1995 (rewrite) [126] 2001 THIRD IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORT (TAR): THE HOCKEY STICK ARRIVES ON STAGE In its 1990 report, the IPCC used the temperature graph created by Hubert Lamb, CRU's first Director [125], which showed the Medieval Warm Period 1000 years earlier and the Little Ice Age 300 years earlier. Both the MWP and LIA were global phenomena, and a major problem for the CO2/man-made global warming theory. The hockey team needed to eliminate them. And this is what was done. [36] [127] In fact, DEMING was actually told that: "We must get rid of the Medieval Warm Period" (see {MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD 1995}). In {MANN 4.Jun.03}, Mann writes: "... addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to 'contain' the putative 'MWP....'" [1054736277.txt] On March 15, 1999, MANN publishes the hockey stick graph in MBH99. It flattens the MWP and LIA, and then turns dramatically skyward to make it appear that temperatures were relatively stable in earlier centuries. By September 1, 1999 (or earlier) MANN is appointed Lead Author of Chapter 2, "Observed Climate Variability and Change," of the IPCC 2001 report, which substitutes Mann's hockey stick (shown here) for Lamb's 1990 graph. The hockey stick is featured prominently on page 3 of the "Summary for Policymakers." Though Mann's hockey stick is discredited 2 years later (see {MCINTYRE AND MCKITRICK Nov.2003}), it becomes de facto "proof" of purported catastrophic CO2 induced man-made climate change, and is given persistent prominence by Al Gore. The authors of the 4 data sets used in this graph are all key individuals party to the CRU e-mails. There are 2 data sets from MANN, 1 data set from JONES and 1 from BRIFFA (who is embroiled in his own hockey stick fiasco; see {BRIFFA'S YAMAL 26.Sep.2009}). For an explanation of manipulations in this graph, see [36]; for explanations of other tampering and a close-up [60], see {HOW TO: 5.Oct.1999} and {MANN 1.Sep.1999}. The hockey stick was not used in the 2007 report, but the players remain the same, with BRIFFA taking over from MANN, as explained by MCINTYRE in "IPCC AR4" [56]: "The lead author for the millennial paleoclimate section was Keith Briffa ... The Team features prominently in the chapter -- a search on Mann turns up 92 mentions; BRIFFA 36 mentions; JONES 36 mentions. Like MANN before him, BRIFFA used his position as Lead Author to publicize his own work." 2007 FOURTH IPCC ASSESSMENT REPORT (AR4) AND THE IPCC'S "4,000 SCIENTISTS" Dr. William Schlesinger: Approximately 80% of IPCC scientists do not deal with climate. [84] THE NATIONAL POST, "NUMBERS RACKET," BY LAWRENCE SOLOMON: "'This is the conclusion of 4,000 scientists appointed by governments from virtually every country in the world,' asserted Mr. Rudd [Prime Minister of Australia], in making his case that the planet is in peril.... "[Australian] John McLean scrutinized the lists that the IPCC used to arrive at its figures and found them to be riddled with duplications, such as the 383 authors who also acted as reviewers for the same sections in which their work appeared, and the authors and reviewers who were listed twice or thrice. Remove the duplications and the total number of authors plus reviewers drops from 3,750 to 2,890.... "Most importantly, the great majority of the reviewers commented on chapters that dealt with historical or technical issues ... The exception was Chapter 9 - Understanding and Attributing Climate Change. An endorsement here would clearly be a bona fide endorsement of the IPCC's conclusion. "Chapter 9 had 53 authors and it received comments from 55 individual reviewers. Of the 55 individuals, four commented favourably on the entire chapter and three on a portion of the chapter." "The 53 authors and seven favourable reviewers represent a total of 60 people, leading McLean to conclude: 'There is only evidence that about 60 people explicitly supported the claim' made by the IPCC that global warming represents a threat to the planet.'" [20] Dec 11, 1997 KYOTO PROTOCOL Dec 7, 2009 - Dec 18, 2009 IPCC COPENHAGEN CONFERENCE Jul 14, 2006 WEGMAN REPORT: MCINTYRE AND MCKITRICK RIGHT, MANN WRONG "Dr. [Edward] Wegman [see [41]] is a professor at the Center for Computational Statistics at George Mason University, chair of the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics, and board member of the American Statistical Association. Few statisticians in the world have CVs to rival his..." "Wegman became involved in the global-warming debate after the energy and commerce committee of the U.S. House of Representatives asked him to assess one of the hottest debates in the global-warming controversy: the statistical validity of work by Michael Mann.... "Wegman accepted the energy and commerce committee's assignment ... pro bono. He conducted his third-party review by assembling an expert panel of statisticians, who also agreed to work pro bono. Wegman also consulted outside statisticians, including the Board of the American Statistical Association. At its conclusion, the Wegman review entirely vindicated the Canadian critics and repudiated Mann's work." [113] THE COMMITTEE'S FINDINGS (SUMMARIZED): "In general, we found MBH98 and MBH99 [by Mann et al.] to be somewhat obscure and incomplete and the criticisms of MM03/05a/05b [McIntyre and McKitrick] to be valid and compelling.... "In our further exploration of the social network of authorships in temperature reconstruction, we found that at least 43 authors have direct ties to Dr. Mann by virtue of coauthored papers with him. Our findings from this analysis suggest that authors in the area of paleoclimate studies are closely connected and thus 'independent studies' may not be as independent as they might appear on the surface.... "It is important to note the isolation of the paleoclimate community; even though they rely heavily on statistical methods they do not seem to be interacting with the statistical community. Additionally, we judge that the sharing of research materials, data and results was haphazardly and grudgingly done. In this case we judge that there was too much reliance on peer review, which was not necessarily independent. [See {JONES 5.Aug.2009} and {JONES 26.Feb.2004}] Moreover, the work has been sufficiently politicized that this community can hardly reassess their public positions without losing credibility. Overall, our committee believes that Mann's assessments that the decade of the 1990s was the hottest decade of the millennium and that 1998 was the hottest year of the millennium cannot be supported by his analysis." [40] [52] Jun 1988 WMO AND UNEP ESTABLISH THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC) "Bert Bolin, the first chairman of the IPCC was already heavily committed to the notion of manmade warming, having worked previously for the UNEP, WMO, the Brundtland Report, the SCOPE 29 report (on which the first IPCC report was largely based) and, very crucially, having documented that the Villach conference reached a consensus that manmade emissions of carbon dioxide were to blame for variations in climate. [130] "John Houghton, of the UK's Met Office and seemingly as much a believer in man- made warming as Bolin, [was] appointed to chair IPCC Working Group I, whose role was to look for evidence of climate change and attribute causes (as if that blame hadn't been predetermined." [130] Oct 12, 2009 M TRENBERTH: WHERE THE HECK IS GLOBAL WARMING? TRENBERTH discusses the BBC's October 9 article, and not only confirms warming has stopped for 10-12 years [see {JONES 5.Jul.2005} and {KELLY 26.OCT.2008}], but that this was not predicted by any of the models. His explanation for the failure: The data are wrong: TRENBERTH: "Well I have my own article on where the heck is global warming? We are asking that here in Boulder where we have broken records the past two days for the coldest days on record.... The high the last 2 days was below 30F and the normal is 69F, and it smashed the previous records for these days by 10F.... This is January [winter] weather [in early autumn]." "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data ... shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate." [1255352257.txt] This is the kind of bankrupt logic and blind faith we now see masquerading as rational science. Are we to believe that temperature data collected by 30-year old instruments in the 1980s, upon which the Anthropogenic Global Warming enterprise was based, is more reliable than that collected by billions of dollars worth of new land, oceanic, air and space instruments (i.e. the "observing system") because their data does not show warming? Are we to believe that after decades of technological advancement, our temperature readings now are less reliable than those of yore? Alternatively, and more likely, the entire CO2/man-made global warming, or AGW, theory is wrong. Science has a rule: "if the theory doesn't fit the data, get another theory!" 2000 JUST SAY YOU DON'T HAVE THE DATA EVEN IF YOU DO BRIFFA publishes BRIFFA2000 [156] which uses the now controversial Yamal tree ring measurement temperature data. In 1995 BRIFFA published that 1032 "was the coldest year of the millennium" however new data by Schweingruber showed "the opposite situation - a very warm 11th century". So in BRIFFA2000 he substituted his original data with the Yamal data without reporting the contradictory results. [157] "[This Yamal data was] used like crack cocaine by paleoclimatologists, and [is critical] in many spaghetti graph reconstructions ..." [158] Curious about this situation, MCINTYRE requests the data in 2006, but is refused. He finally obtains the data by luck in 2009 (see {MCINTYRE 26.Sep.2009}). In fact, as he explains, OSBORN even advised the editors of Science in 2006 that he (i.e. CRU) didn't "'have any core measurement data' ... [though] the Climategate documents show that CRU had an extensive collection of Yamal measurement data ... Not only did CRU actually have Yamal measurement data (which it had had since the 1990s), the CRU letters showed that CRU had funded collection of the Yamal data (at least in part)." [155] Sep 26, 2009 MCINTYRE EXPOSES BRIFFA'S YAMAL After trying for 3 years, MCINTYRE finally obtains, by luck, the Yamal tree ring measurement data used by BRIFFA (see {BRIFFA 2000}). [45] He discovers BRIFFA only used 12 cores. Furthermore, he finds that only one freak tree of the 12 created the hockey stick! If that tree is removed from the equation, the hockey stick disappears, and when a larger sample is used -- the 34 cores in the Schweingruber Yamal dataset -- the result is cooling, as shown in the graph. [26] Mar 11, 2003 THREATEN CLIMATE RESEARCH JOURNAL MANN e-mails JONES, HUGHES, BRIFFA, BRADLEY and others explaining how all along, the plan was to insist that those against the AGW theory publish in peer review journals. However, now that Climate Research is publishing their papers, he suggests that he and his colleagues no longer cite papers from it or submit papers to it, while Jones says he'll boycott if it doesn't get a new editor. See [79] for full details. On one hand, the team insists opposing views be aired in peer review journals, and on the other, takes action against editors who publish contrary articles -- in this case a Willie Soon & Sallie Baliunas paper that "identifies the main cause of climate change as 'solar forcing,' not carbon dioxide (CO2)." [169] (See {SUN DETERMINED 9.Aug.1996}.) MANN: "They've already achieved what they wanted--the claim of a peer-reviewed paper. There is nothing we can do about that now, but the last thing we want to do is bring attention to this paper, which will be ignored by the community on the whole... "This was the danger of always criticising the skeptics for not publishing in the 'peer-reviewed literature'. Obviously, they found a solution to that--take over a journal! So what do we do about this? I think we have to stop considering 'Climate Research' as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board..." JONES: "I will be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor. A CRU person is on the editorial board, but papers get dealt with by the editor assigned by Hans von Storch." [1047388489.txt] 1990 THE WANG AFFAIR AND JONES' URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT PAPER [48] JONES is the lead author of a September, 1990 paper that concludes there is no relevant urban heat island effect ( i.e., localized temperature increase) in and around urban centers. [46]. However, 3 months later, his co-author Wei-Chyung Wang publishes another paper using the very same Eastern China data, concluding that there is a significant UHI effect and temperature studies must this take into account to avoid skewing results in favor of warming. [47] (Also see {WIGLEY 11.Nov.09}.) Aside from producing contradictory conclusions, the data set used by the authors poses other problems. The 84 stations from which it allegedly derives were chosen because of a supposed history of "few, if any, changes in instrumentation, location or observation times." [48] In February, 2007, mathematician Doug Keenan learns that data are available for only 35 of the stations, and of those, "at least half have undergone substantial moves." [48] Keenan asks JONES about the source of location information of the other 49 stations. JONES replies that Wang "selected the stations ... based on his 'extensive knowledge of those networks.'" [48] Keenan writes to Wang, who replies that Zhao-Mei Zeng (a co-author of [47]) has "hard copies of station histories." However, the authors, including Zeng, of a U.S. Department of Energy and Chinese Academy of Sciences study detailing station moves note that the copies to which Wang referred were "'not currently available.'" [49] Later in 2007 Keenan publishes "The Fraud Allegation Against Some Climatic Research of Wei-Chyung Wang," setting out the matter, but despite an investigation by the University at Albany (where Wang is employed), the "hardcopies of station histories" are never produced. Neither are the results of the university's investigation. In his paper, Keenan notes that though JONES may not have known about the fraud in 1990, in 2001 he co-authored a study that "considered two meteorological stations in China (at Beijing and at Shanghai).
