A Very Sad Day For Climate Science?

Dr. Tim Ball is a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg and outspoken critic of theories of anthropogenic global warming. This article by Dr. Ball appeared yesterday at Canada Free Press in reaction to the release of hacked/leaked data from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia.

The argument that global warming is due to humans, known as the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGW) is a deliberate fraud. I can now make that statement without fear of contradiction because of a remarkable hacking of files that provided not just a smoking gun, but an entire battery of machine guns.

Of course the IPCC Reports and especially the SPM Reports are the basis for Kyoto and the Copenhagen Accord, but now we know they are based on completely falsified and manipulated data and science. It is no longer a suspicion. Surely this is the death knell for the CRU, the IPCC, Kyoto and Copenhagen and the Carbon Credits shell game.

CO2 never was a problem and all the machinations and deceptions exposed by these files prove that it was the greatest deception in history, but nobody is laughing. It is a very sad day for science and especially my chosen area of climate science. 

I would respectfully disagree with Dr. Ball that it is a sad day for science. Although what happened is a scandal and a disgrace, the truth is now coming out. This should make for much better climate science.
