Surrprise: BBC Reporter Received Leaked Climategate Emails But Refused To Publish Them
Proving that the conspiracy of global warming hysterics isn’t limited just to the scientific and political communities.
The controversy surrounding the global warming scandal today deepened after a BBC correspondent admitted he was sent the leaked emails more than a month before they were made public.
Paul Hudson, weather presenter and climate change expert, claims the documents allegedly sent between some of the world’s leading scientists are of a direct result of an article he wrote.
In his BBC blog two days ago, Hudson said: ‘I was forwarded the chain of emails on the 12th October, which are comments from some of the world’s leading climate scientists written as a direct result of my article “Whatever Happened To Global Warming”.’
That essay, written last month, argued that for the last 11 years there had not been an increase in global temperatures.
It also presented the arguments of sceptics who believe natural cycles control temperature and the counter-arguments of those who think it’s man’s actions which are warming the planet.
The leaked files – which show 4,000 documents which have allegedly been sent by scientists over the past 13 years – were apparently taken from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, which is a world-renowned centre focused on studying climate change.
Put this into perspective. These emails are a smoking gun showing that the primary movers-and-shakers behind one of the most controversial issues in the world were manipulating the data that backs up their assertions, acting to suppress contrary research from their critics and deleting data so that it could not be published for public scrutiny.
This is the sort of scoop that could make a reporter’s career. Or at least be worth a significant amount of prestige and fame. But this reporter passed it up.
Because, apparently, he values the perpetuation of his ideological beliefs more than telling the truth.
