Lord Monckton op oorlogspad

De inval van zes (!) rechercheurs bij de Britse blogger 'Tallbloke', waarover ik, eerder berichtte, is de bekende klimaatscepticus Lord Christopher Monckton in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten. Waarom is deze blogger slachtoffer geworden van intimiderend politieoptreden, terwijl degenen die zich aan manipulatie van wetenschappelijke gegevens hebben schuldig gemaakt, met onvoorstelbaar hoge schade voor de samenleving, buiten schot blijven?

Monckton zint dus op gerechtigheid.

Op de website van Marc Morano legt hij uit wat hij daaraan denkt te gaan doen.

Marc Morano:

Fmr. Thatcher advisor Lord Monckton to pursue fraud charges against Climategate scientists: Will present to police the case for 'numerous specific instances of scientific or economic fraud' Monckton: 'I have begun drafting a memorandum for prosecuting authorities to establish the existence of numerous specific instances of scientific or economic fraud in relation to the official 'global warming' storyline they will act, for that is what the law requires them to do.'

Christopher Monckton:

Now that six policemen from the Norfolk and Metropolitan forces have invaded the home and “borrowed” the computers of “Tallbloke”, the first blogger in the UK to reveal the existence of the 5000 Climategate 2.0 emails, you may ask why the British police seem so much more interested in tracking down and punishing the whistle-blower/“thief” than in dealing with the many crimes by crooked IPCC “scientists” that the emails expose.

There is a good reason why the police have gone after the whistle-blower and yet have not moved against those whose far more serious crimes the emails he released expose. Though the University of East Anglia has complained to the police about the “thief”, no one has complained about the climate crooks whose crimes the University seems so zealous to conceal.

Until now, those of us who have dared to question how much “global warming” a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration this century may cause have been altogether too nice to lodge a criminal complaint with our local police precinct. That must now change.

This note proposes a way forward. What offenses have been committed? Serious frauds, that's what. Some of the most prominent Climategate emailers appear, on the face of the evidence in the emails, to be engaged with each other and with others in an elaborate series of connected deceptions calculated to enrich themselves and their associates, impoverish everyone else and destroy key industries and national economies wholesale by systematically and often greatly exaggerating the supposed threat and costs of anthropogenic “global warming”, the certainty of the science that underlies the IPCC's claims, and the effectiveness of the various methods proposed for the attempted mitigation of anthropogenic “global warming”, while correspondingly understating the benefits of that warming and the costs of its attempted mitigation.

So, why don't the police go and feel their collars rather than picking on the blameless “Tallbloke”? Not least because the police are by no means as expert in understanding the ins and outs of climate physics and economics as we are. They simply don't get the significance of the emails because no one has ever explained it to them. The true significance of “hide the decline”, for instance, is not at all evident on a superficial reading of the emails. The police will not, therefore, read the emails with our eyes, unless we help them to understand their shocking significance. If we explain to the police how the various frauds evident in the Climategate emails work, and how they are connected to each other and to additional frauds designed artificially and dishonestly to magnify the supposed threat of “global warming” in the IPCC's documents and to minimize the egregiously disproportionate cost of trying to make “global warming” go away, they will understand and – more importantly – they will act, for that is what the law requires them to do.

Voorts gaat hij in een nogal technisch-juridisch verhaal in op de vraag of de manipulatie waaraan de hoofdrolspelers in het Climategate-schandaal zich schuldig hebben gemaakt, wel onder de definitie van fraude vallen. Op zichzelf zijn de gesignaleerde incidenten wellicht niet ernstig genoeg om als fraude te worden gekwalificeerd. Maar als ze allemaal bij elkaar worden gevoegd en in de juiste context worden geplaatst, is dat volgens Monckton wèl het geval.

Notice how each such episode – in isolation – might well provoke little more than a shrug of the shoulders from the prosecuting authorities, because they do not realize how the fraud fits into the grander scheme of those who are by a multitude of related artifices and deceptions driving the climate scare beyond all scientific justification. However, look at the frauds I have described, but this time look at them not in isolation but together. It is only then that the sheer, breathtaking, arrogant enormity of the overall scheme of deception becomes visible to those who have not observed it before.

Monckton laat weten dat hij inmiddels is begonnen met het schrijven van een memorandum dat als basis voor de aanklacht kan dienen.

Next steps: I have begun drafting a memorandum for the prosecuting authorities, together with all evidence necessary to establish not only the existence of numerous specific instances of scientific or economic fraud in relation to the official “global warming” storyline but also the connections between these instances, and the overall scheme of deception that the individual artifices appear calculated to reinforce. In each instance, the perpetrators of the fraud will be named and their roles described.

Hij roept zijn lezers op om hem informatie te geven over voorbeelden van de misleidende informatieverschaffing die zij zelf hebben geconstateerd. Als de zaak rond is, is het de bedoeling dat degenen die medeplichtig zijn aan de fraude in hun eigen jurisdicties worden aangeklaagd.

Monckton concludeert:

Honest science is not under attack here: only dishonest science. And a dishonest scientist can no more claim immunity from prosecution than anyone else. Don't hang back. This is your chance to make the police state work not for them but you, and to bring this costly scare to an end.

Een opmerkelijk figuur, die Monckton!
