Climate-Gate: Anti-Science, Fraud & Reputations
Monday, December 7, 2009 at 04:17PM My piece, as per above, has just been published over at Canada Free Press. For anyone wanting a summary of what the email scandal is all about (with examples) and how the scandal fits into the overall picture, try this piece. And here's a taster (to read the rest at CFP, click here):
Obama’s White House has already trashed the leaked British emails as “irrelevant”. Nor are any enquiries likely to impact what Lord Monckton describes as the world’s “class politique”. Why? Because too many reputations, too many research grants, too much power-grubbing, is riding on the anthropogenic global warming horse. And there’s because there’s a deal of money to be made by it leading proponents, too. In early December, Paul Cheeser, special correspondent for the Heartland Institute, revealed that Michael Mann has received around $6 million for his various predictions, models and reconstructions.
In short there are way too many vested interests to admit that the real science just does not prove their case. But then, as Climate-Gate reveals only too plainly, when it comes to unsound claims for AGW, we are often not dealing with real scientists pursuing empirical truth, nor, sadly, with men of high integrity.
This is NOT about 'science' it is about truth. Yes, science should be about truth. But the lack of integrity at the heart of those desperate (yes, desperate) to save and make their reputations (and not a little hard cash through this) is all we should need to know. THE MORAL LESSON HERE? When you want to make a dramatic impact, computer model your predicitions. Who cares about facts, when so man people are gullible enough to buy into predictive fantasy?

Most people are familiar with certain essentials which543545654645 are needed to pack for vacation. One such essential is the perfect little evening Authentic Louis Vuitton Bags for a night on the town, be it a sequined micro mini for the club in Paris or a gauzy shift for the Caribbean lounge. You will also want to pack Chanel Bags Outlet that go with the perfect little Louis Vuitton Outlet as well as most of the other outfits you will be packing. To be sure, you will also choose with great care the essential cosmetics and hair products, so as not to overwhelm your luggage but making sure to have exactly enough of what you can’t live without. You may not have given enough thought, however, to the Burberry Scarves themselves! Sure, you know what to bring (or at least you think you know), but have you thought about the “to and from” of the trip? Consideration should be given to the ease with which you would like to travel, as well as the style and comfort of your Burberry Scarf. There are a number of great Louis Vuitton Outlet you can consider for your trip, and a stylish piece of luggage within which to pack your belongings can really make a difference in your travels. Depending on your destination, you may be able to limit yourself to only one piece of luggage for travel. If this is the case, and consider yourself lucky if it is, look for something with enough of a pattern that it stands out in the airport, but which print is subdued enough to be timeless, classic and elegant. One good choice in this area is the Trolley by Yves St. Laurent, in the Downtown Collection. You can purchase it in a gray flannel, in patent black leather, or in a daring but beautiful leopard print calfskin. The Louis Vuitton is a great suitcase size because it is compact and easy to transport, yet large enough to fit a good amount of clothing and goodies for a long weekend away. It is definitely a stylish alternative to your average piece of luggage, and even if you opt for something less bold than the animal print it will stand out in a crowd. Another winner in the luggage department, and much more reasonably priced, is the Brics Luggage Life Collection, in the brushed cotton with leather trim. This bag is great because of its size and functionality, but it too has a feature that makes it stand out: It comes in pink! That’s right; this Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags comes in an adorable pink hue that is almost salmon, with a brown lining. If you want a stylish Louis Vuitton Outlet Online that is sleek and not likely to be confused with others in the airport, this might be the Burberry Bags for you and your next trip. It is also available in a warm chocolate brown color as well as a gray, but the pink luggage is what really makes the Brics line a contender. Two printed classic Louis Vuitton Outlets that are both beautiful pieces of luggage, albeit in slightly different price ranges, are the Gucci Trolley 21” travel luggage and the Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Pegase 50. Either Chanel Bags will make you glad you spent the money. With the Gucci, you cannot go wrong with the Gucci label and the house signature print that is proudly displayed. There is beautiful webbing and a rich brown color to all of the accents, with a mocha-lined interior. While there are not a lot of extra “bells and whistles” to this Louis Vuitton Bags Outlet, the quality is superb and the name says it all. Some of us find it enough justification for the price! louis vuitton backpack is sure to make an impression on any travel mates you may have or even just to those sitting next to you in the airport, awaiting their flight.
exquisitely-formed features of the stranger were those which have been made familiar to us by the masterpieces oftaylormade r11 antiquity treasured in our museums. Lycidas might well have served as model to Phidias for a statue of Endymion. His form was Ping G20of faultless proportions, remarkable rather for symmetry and grace than for strength; and his face might have been deemed too feminine in its beauty, but for the stamp of intellect on it. That young brow had already worn the leafy crown in the Olympic contest for poetic honours; Lycidas had read his titleist 910D3verses aloud in the arena to the titleist 910d2critical ears of the Athenians, his fellow-citizens, and thousands from other parts of Greece, and had heard theirtaylormade r11 plaudits ringing through the air at the close. That had been a proud moment for the youthful Athenian, but his ambition had not been satisfied by this his first great success. Ping G20Lycidas was his own severest critic, and regarded himself as being rather at the starting-point than as at the goal. He had resolved on writing titleist 910D3a poem, the fame of which should emulate that of the Iliad, and had chosen as the theme of his verse THE HEROISM OF VIRTUE. Lycidas would draw titleist 910d2his pictures from history, choose his models from men, and not from the so-called deities with which superstition or fancy had peopled Olympus.

Diversity and inclusion training can work; it can make a powerful and valuable contribution to individual awareness and competencies as well as organizational culture.
