The Climategate Emails John Costella Ed by John Costella (ed.) instant download after payment.

The Climategate emails expose to our view a world that was previously hidden from
virtually everyone.
This formerly hidden world was made up of a very few players. But they controlled
those critical Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) processes involving the temperature records from the past, and the official interpretation of current temperature data. They exerted previously unrecognized influence on the “peer
review” process for papers seeking publication in the officially recognised climate
science literature from which the IPCC was supposed to rely exclusively in order to
draw its conclusions.
The Climategate emails demonstrate that these people had no regard for the traditions and assumptions which had developed over centuries and which provided the
foundations of Western science. At the very core of this tradition is respect for truth
and honesty in reporting data and results; and a recognition that all the data, and all
the steps required to reach a result, had to be available to the scientific world at large.
There are two issues which now have to be addressed. The first is the damage which
has been done to the standing of science as an intellectual discipline on which our
civilisation depends. The second is the status of the IPCC, since that institution is
the source of scientific authority on which prime ministers and other political leaders rely to legitimise their statements about global warming.
