To After the climategate scandal "independent" investigations were set up to determine if the climate scientists behaved immorally. These "independent" investigations on Micheal Mann determined that he did not delete any emails and did not encourage others to do so. The confession of Wahl prove proves that they were wrong.
This raises the further questions: is this an isolated incidence were the investigation was wrong or are there more of such instances? Was the purpose of these inquiries to find the truth, or was this a mock investigation with a predetermined agenda to clear Mann?
Nope. Let's just ask Wahl himself: "The Daily Caller blog yesterday contained an inaccurate story regarding a correspondence that was part of the emails hacked from East Anglia University Climate Research Unit (CRU) in November 2009. For the record, while I received the email from CRU as forwarded by Dr. Mann, the forwarded message came without any additional comment from Dr. Mann; there was no request from him to delete emails.
At the time of the email in May 2008, I was employed by Alfred University, New York. I became a NOAA employee in August 2008. The emails I deleted while a university employee are the correspondence I had with Dr. Briffa of CRU regarding the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, all of which have been in the public domain since the CRU hack in November 2009.
This correspondence has been extensively examined and no misconduct found. As a NOAA employee, I follow agency record retention policies and associated guidance from information technology staff." Dr. Eugene R.
Wahl March 9, 2011 Jones asked Mann to forward an email to Wahl, so he did. End of story. A hundred bucks says the many perpetrators of this lie, including Anthony Watts, never retract their libelous claims.
A thousand bucks says deniers like Ottawa Mike and eric continue to blindly believe everything they say anyway. I second pegminer's sentiments. It's unfortunate that deniers waste so much time muckracking instead of using that time learning some basic science.
*edit* thanks for proving my point, OM. Seriously, you think telling Phil Jones that he would forward his email is equivalent to telling Wahl to delete emails? You live in some kind of denier Bizarro world.
I don't think your brain is working correctly.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
