Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak
eldavojohn writes with an update to the CRU email leak story we've been following for the past two weeks. The peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature has published an article saying the emails do not demonstrate any sort of "scientific conspiracy," and that the journal doesn't intend to investigate earlier papers from CRU researchers without "substantive reasons for concern." The article notes, "Whatever the e-mail authors may have said to one another in (supposed) privacy, however, what matters is how they acted. And the fact is that, in the end, neither they nor the IPCC suppressed anything: when the assessment report was published in 2007 it referenced and discussed both papers." Reader lacaprup points out related news that a global warming skeptic plans to sue NASA under the Freedom of Information Act for failing to deliver climate data and correspondence of their own, which he thinks will be "highly damaging." Meanwhile, a United Nations panel will be conducting its own investigation of the CRU emails.
Right, that's the right reason to believe something - because the journal has a fine pedigree. Hence you should look the other way when they do a crappy job.
And, as far as I know, Einstein and the other early 20th century physicists published in physics journals, not that hodge podge stamp collecting journal that you think is so great.
Please, refute:
a) That North America was covered by an ice sheet until about 10,000 years ago. See Wikipedia
b)That Mars is suffering "climate change" too. See here
Now please prove that the retreat of glaciers in North America was caused by cavemen driving SUVs and burning fossil fuels and not by some unknown natural phenomenon.

This straw man is old and has been debunked so often it's silly. Realclimate deals with it on their page Myth vs. Fact Regarding the "Hockey Stick":

Do you have any independent stuff, like I had asked for? No? Thanks.

I'm glad to see the global warming skeptics are such reasonable and well-meaning people who seek to open our eyes to the plans of climatologists to try to take over Europe and kill all the Jews. The world is a better place thanks to your insight.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along. These eco-lunies want nothing less than control of the world economy. You gotta admire their psychotic ambition. Copenhagen is gonna be a total fiasco. What fun!

I was talking about the obervations from sediments in the southern ocean that show reduced calcification in many organisims. The southern ocean is of particular interest since it's turbulance means gasses are more readibly absorbed. As for predictions, I fail to see how one can make a prediction about anything without using a model or a time machine.
Excuse me if I don't go and chase up any more papers for you, like Asimov I am well aware of frat boy debating techniques and have grown weary of your willfull ignorance.
