Science: Climate Change: Email hack exposes flank of UN Climate Change brains

Three climate-change doctrinalists who will figure largely in the looming Copenhagen Conference, have been cawt up short. Dr Richard Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Dr Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, and Dr Eric Steig, University of Washington have suddenly been put on the defensive as a result of what's being called ClimateGate, exposed by an unknown hacker stealing their emails from UK University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit.

Somebody will rake thru the emails and float up whatever evidence there is that they "cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled...." At some point, anyone interested will have to decide for her/himself whether ClimateGate is a hoax or the real deal.

As for the Copehagen Conference, we wish conferees the best to the extent that their intent remains to arrive at the truth as best they can know it in their scientific capacities.

In the end, most of us simply cannot master the actual science of those now claiming the stealing of the emails is a "smear campaign" because the email texts will be "cherrypicked' for use against them. Too bad! These doctors of science have to be vetted by other means than being voted authorities par excellence by some mass of their peers who can follow the actual science ... to some extent ... usually. Obviously, there are marginalized scientists who can understand the Troika (but perhaps not replicate the Troika's findings, a requirement). The important thing is to bring qualified scientists who are the dissenters on this crucial matter (given established Science's churchlike absolutes about their empirical-statistical findings, and in dependence on their particular thoeretical models).

So we have also dissidents in the political realm, who cannot perhaps follow "the science", but have an immense responsiblity to explore and investigate the conditions under which these conclusions have become definitive to the apparent-majority of established Science, establishing the Orthodox Doctrine of Science on Climate Change: namely, Human-created Natural Collapse of Earth as a Human Habitat.

For instance, Sen James Inhofe (Republican, Oklahoma) is known as a GlobalWarming skeptic. He has every reason of public justice to call for an investigation of the emails to make a good sounding toward determination public-justicially into the conditions whereby UN climate change research was conducted, directed, and promulgated. Ihnofe's way of knowing is politic/al, not scientific/al.

Then, there's the relatively "naive" way of knowing typical of those of us who can't know sphere-specifically in either Science or Politics, and certainly can not replicate the science (both the particular theoretical models Climate-doctrinaire scientists are using, and everything the official models cherrypick as "facts" -- what the model itself elicits/constitutes as a relevant fact to the instituted model and the measuring instruments with their imposed metric (a primal element in the mathematization of science (Cassirer) -- such field-indigenous facts must be shattered out from the terrible wholeness of the reality on Earth of climate, however from the hand of the Creator thru evolution, or due to human need, greed, and hubris.

If we can acknowledge at least three different ways of knowing being necessarily operative in the determination of public order regarding climate change, then we can begin to face up to how most of us must live by faith in the sources we trust.

I'd like to see these purloined emails being vetted forensically, something of the actual historical process of reaching the floodtide of climate-changism we are now in. But in any case Copenhagen will push climate-change triumphalists further along to the destination they intend for all of us. I'm curious as to just how our #1 American Salesman will do in his return to the Danish capital for the upcoming conference. Wow!, it occurs to me that since this is an international conference, some groups may wish to occasion a protest. Please, all, no violence!
