Some Documents “Climate” Colluders Don’t Want Released

If there are documents available that make your case on your view of things you’d want the people to see them, yes? No!

While Congressional Democrats wrestle with their own sudden disinterest in transparency, some “climate” scientists are bemoaning a court order forcing the publicly funded university for whom they work to release emails in response to a 7-year old freedom of information act request (FOIA).

Emails that include conversations “related to the Mann-Bradley-Hughes temperature reconstruction.” The infamous Hockey Stick upon which the Climate Cult bases its’ hysteria.

Included in the release will be emails that, for example, provide the full context of the discussions between Michael Mann and colleagues and Chick Keller on whether there was a medieval warm period and a little ice age.  Mann, Bradley and Hughes (MBH) were the authors of the “hockey stick” graph that became the icon of climate alarmism.  Dr. Keller was, at the time, Director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the Los Alamos National Lab and affiliated with the University of California at San Diego, and wanted to reconcile data which appeared to refute the MBH papers.  Also within this collection will be the full discussion on events surrounding an effort to remove editors of journals willing to publish peer-reviewed papers that contradicted the MBH and related papers on which climate alarmism was built.  This collection of emails is particularly important in that they will provide the full context of Climategate emails that have been described as “cherry picking.”

Whether you are a member of the Climate Cult or a climate atheist or believe in something else altogether, context and transparency ought to matter. Unless it exposes your cult as a fraud. Then you’d want to hide the decline hide the evidence of that fraud or any proof that you used your influence to prevent anyone from publicly questioning your “science.”

“…Judge Marner made clear, the subjects of the public records address an important topic at issue in the public forum.  Dr. Schnare explained, “We did not take this case only to obtain the history of a very controversial period of time in the climate wars.  We also took this case to cast sunlight on how public universities work, how they contribute to the formation of public policy, and how professors behave within the policy arena.”

There are over 90,000 pages of material for release to meet the original FOIA request.

Dr. Schnare and his colleagues will take the first look at those documents.  With a doctorate in environmental management and decades of experience in policy formation, he and others under his supervision will sort these documents, organize them for use by the public and prepare a report on what they contain – so to speak, a chronicle of that historic time, based the full history of that period as available in this public record.  Dr. Schnare has been adamant that, unlike publication and discussion of the Climategate release of documents, FME Law’s examination and report will reflect the full context of the emails and will take careful steps to prevent “cherry picking,” especially for emails that, if not presented in context, would improperly harm the reputation of and proper respect for Professors Hughes and Overpeck, as well as their many correspondents.

Accusations of cherry-picking will not be founded on the organization of the document but on the threat they represent to a multi-billion dollar global industry that grinds axes on green alters to undercut free-market energy solutions in favor of top-down government control.
