"No one said anything to me about the full monty!" - Horse, The Full Monty
LOL!
Very revealing Josh, and really great.
However, all that this cartoon is doing is to "hide the decline".
Now this one I find entertaining compared with the last 2 poor efforts! One of the better ones.
Please tell me they're not going to produce one of 'those' calendars?
Meltemian, what a great idea! A Naked Climate Calendar.
This one will "hurt" :-) great effort, my favourite form the past few weeks...
Press headlines
Spot the odd one out.
LA Times/Chicago Tribune:
Scientist Peter Gleick admits he lied to get climate documents
SF Chronicle:
Gleick hurt by ethics lapse over climate papers
National Post (Canada):
Climate scientist admits he lied to get think-tank documents he later
leaked to the web
Washington Post:
Climate scientist admits duping skeptic group to obtain documents

Peter Gleick Confesses to Obtaining Heartland Documents Under False Pretenses
(Another superb article from Megan McArdle)
Guardian:
Gleick apology over Heartland leak stirs ethics debate among climate
scientists
Telegraph (Delingpole):
Peter Gleick - the Johann Hari of climate 'science'
BBC:
No comment.
On Black's latest thread, the top rated comment is from Anteros
"I'm amazed, although perhaps I shouldn't be. No mention of Peter Gleick?"
followed by several others saying much the same thing.
Black's Heartland thread has been closed.
A Naked Climate Calendar?
Do you think that climate alarmists and churnalists will need bigger buns?
@Mac
buns or bungs?
"Considerably bigger" both I should think!
If it was the leaf of the fig they were clutching, it would be that of the genus 'ficus insipida' !!
Richard Black is doing requests!
"Confessions of a climate gate-opener"
"I've a lot of messages via emails, blog comments and Twitter asking for a follow-up post on the Heartland Institute, and am happy to oblige."
You have just got to love this bit:-
"Many thanks for all your messages - nice to know one's thoughts are in such demand!"

Black is admitting that he has become the story...and a laughing stock.
Black loves being the story. The thing about activists is they have a deep need to feel important. There's a hero-complex thing going on there. And no shame about being the only major news outlet in the world not to report on the Gleick admission. Surely someone can alert BBC bosses that public interest news is actively being suppressed?

Thank you for the list. I think it underscores the real impact of FakeGate -- they are now seen as liars and cheaters. We do not need to throw PG into jail. Nor do we need to take all his money in a civil suit.
What really happened is a PR disaster for the warmistas. I don't think many have realized that yet, but your list does show that is is happening.
Josh Working over time, are you? Keep it up. You are getting better and better, particularly with the facial features. But then again, you are getting a lot of practice :)
We know that Roger Harrabin was funded by the CRU, and yet saw fit to report on the CRU without mentioning his funding source. I wonder if it possible that Richard Black and Peter Gleick have an unreported relationship and communications? (This might explain the strange disparity between newspaper journalism and BBC 'journalism').
the strange disparity between newspaper journalism and BBC 'journalism'
May I rewrite this to " the strange disparity between real journalism and BBC creative writing'
I'm taking the liberty of reposting a reply to DPS on the dying embers of a previous thread - and adding a note of a recent development:-
Poor Soros must be pulling out his grey hairs, but that's what he gets for associating with idiots.
Feb 22, 2012 at 3:43 AM Don Pablo de la Sierra
I'm sure you know more about US politics than I, DPS, but aren't you worried that with Soros' resources and these practitioners of the left's black arts - the bad guys are going to win?
I can see Hansen & the usual green activists, plus opportunists like Occupy Everything/Code Pink/Cindy Sheehan etc etc and all the crazies from Gleick's alma mater Berkeley - all besieging the courtroom - while the Lamestream Meeja howl about "last chance to save the planet" and "big oil".
Remember "Bonfire of the Vanities" ?

And today,a quote from Gleick's new pit-bull lawyer showing exactly which way things are heading:-
“Dr. Gleick looks forward to using discovery to understand more about the veracity of the documents, lay bare the implications of Heartland’s propaganda plans and, in particular, determine once and for all who is truly behind Heartland and why,”
It's going to get very political - and very dirty.
Where is Hengist when you need him?
Or for that matter Zed?
Silence speaks volumes.
Are Monbiot and Hickman really joined at the hip?
It's going to get very political - and very dirty
It already was. It's just that it isn't going to be quite so one-sided from now on. Climate science is fighting back.
Foxgoose quoted Gleick's lawyer growling
Please let it be Al Gore or George Soros or Maurice Strong - someone like that with obvious motives for supporting AGW and a plain interest in keeping the phantom of Big Oil alive.
A stab in the dark: Gleick's behaviour could have been a ploy to achieve the access his lawyer is now talking about.
Sadly I've been busy with other stuff in the past couple of days. Could anybody please remind me when and how did Peter Gleick acquire the status of "climate scientist" rather than "water expert"?
Foxgoose
Because I cite a couple URLs in my reply, it is waiting the Bishop's approval.

Climate science is fighting back.
Puerile. Surely you can do better, what with that classic education you have. Or did you cut the rhetoric course as well as the physics?
Yeah - with the guy who used to help Clinton out with his zipper problems.
Quote:- “I’m a guy who would not be at all surprised to find worms under the rock — but I’d make sure to put bigger, slimier, nastier worms under the other guy’s rock”.
Sounds like those "out of context" emails got it about right on the ethics of "climatology".
Shhhhh ..... Maurizio....... Gleick was never a "climate scientist".........not ever........nor even once......
He was always once of those rather inferior, low grade "water guys"........ I know it's true because an eminent climate scientist and (ex) Wikipedia editor told me ...... and he wouldn't lie..........would he???
Monty? Surely you mean the full Indy :
"DENIERGATE: GRIJALVA CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION OF DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR SCIENTIST ON HEARTLAND PAYROLL
Congress has begun investigating the Heartland Institute after details of its strategy of climate denial were revealed in leaked documents.
In a letter to the chair and ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has called for an investigation into the “conduct of Indur Goklany, the Assistant Director of Programs, Science and Technology Policy at the Department of the Interior.” As a budget document leaked by the Heartland Institute appears to reveal, the group intended to pay Goklany $1000 a month to write for Heartland..."
That's on top of the $100K to his colleague for generating Heartland's kindergarten-12 climate curriculum.
I think you mean Greenpeace has persuaded one of its stooges to write a letter.

"Black's Heartland thread has been closed."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17126699
Still open now, with an onslaught of scathing comments. How can Black survive this? Does the BBC have a credibility death wish?
@Maurizio Morabito
Maurizio, perhaps Gleick has attended the Mike Hulme school of credentialling:

Oh, my ... looks like we're going to have to redefine "integrity"

Just did a search and "hydroclimatologist" seems to be the word the Ministry of Truth will need to adjust. Seems to be the most popular term in use right now and appeared in this beautiful recent pre-Fakegate article.
"The 2011 “Climate B.S. of the Year Award” goes to the entire field of candidates currently stumping in New Hampshire for the Republican Party presidential nomination, the Pacific Institute announced Thursday.
The awards, in their second year, are intended to distinguish the most active among so-called climate change deniers.
In this case, “B.S.” stands for bad science, according to hydroclimatologist Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences."
http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jan/05/local/la-me-gs-2011-bad-climate-science-awards-20120105
So... likely just a "hydrologist" in the revised future? How dare a hydrologist mess with the process of IPCC Climatology? Is he trying to make Consensus Climatologists look bad?.
Scots Renewables
Yes. With deception, theft and fraud. Well done.
Meltemian, a calender is a great idea, and with CAGW they would have no excuses on the shrinkage front.
was it noted here that GWPF do not need to provide their bank statements to the fake charity run by the green activist with lottery funding?
