Climate-Gate links

I've been following Climate-Gate as closely as my time allows and I have found a few links to share which I think help to put things into context.

The New Big Lie: Climategate Emails Are Not Significant
The criminals at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in England brazenly defend the indefensible.

couple years old but good
An experiment that hints we are wrong on climate change
Nigel Calder, former editor of New Scientist, says the orthodoxy must be challenged

The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999.

After long delays in scraping together the funds for an experiment, Svensmark and his small team at the Danish National Space Center hit the jackpot in the summer of 2005.
In a box of air in the basement, they were able to show that electrons set free by cosmic rays coming through the ceiling stitched together droplets of sulphuric acid and water. These are the building blocks for cloud condensation. But journal after journal declined to publish their report; the discovery finally appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society late last year.

The recent 'ClimateGate' revelations coming out of the UK University of East Anglia are but the tip of a giant iceberg of a well organized international climate warming conspiracy that has been gathering momentum for the last 25 years. This conspiracy would become much more manifest if all the e-mails of the publically funded climate research groups of the US and of foreign governments were ever made public.

Their plans to deal with the "affluent minority" (that would be us):
The next 40 years: Transition strategies to the Virtuous Green Path; North, South, East, Global'.

and, if they can't get us on global warming due to CO2, they'll try the same statist agenda through ocean acidification.

The Strata-Sphere has a well-explained theory that Keith Briffa might be the leaker / whistle blower.
