Hide the decline
Pretty damning stuff from the East Anglia computer models courtesy of small dead animals:

Most amusing comment from one of the disgraced scientists: “The use of the term ‘hiding the decline’ was in an email written in haste.”
The process of getting to this level of corruption in falsifying data to prove AGW probably proceeded in several stages. Scientists used to admit that their climate models were crude, but at least there was probably some warming to detect. As there grew to be more money and more glory in global warming alarmism, the temptation to doctor data only increased. Since skeptics were marginalized, those fudging the numbers became ever bolder. Finally, the last 10 years of global cooling have created a problem that made something like the East Anglia scandal seem inevitable in retrospect.
We continue to wonder how and to what degree the elites who are so invested in the superstition of AGW will come to realize their mistake. Will they have a Thomas Kuhn moment? (HT: Powerline)
