"WARMERGATE WRAP" Tim Blair :

• Digging around in the CRU emails exposes a French connection.
• Climate guy Vincent Gray: “Nothing about the revelations surprises me. I have maintained email correspondence with most of these scientists for many years, and I know several personally. I long ago realized that they were faking the whole exercise.”
• Over at the BBC: “The big news about Michael Mann is his investigations into ocean coral.”
• Formerly dismissed by leftists as “false”, Mark Steyn’s opinion is now held by none other than Tim Flannery. Steyn, by the way, coined the toasty term “Warmergate”.
• Just as it did before the 2004 and 2006 US elections, The Lancet offers some timely alarmism to aid the cause: “Slashing carbon dioxide emissions also could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies published this week in the British medical journal The Lancet.”
• The Anchoress has views.
• “Ninety-five percent of the nails were in the coffin prior to this week. Now they are all in,” declares Oklahoma Senator and longtime warmy foe Jim Inhofe, of whom Kim Strassel writes: “This week he’s looking prescient.”
• James Lewis: “It’s just like the Nixon tapes, except that emails are a lot more accurate than John Dean’s memory.”
• Col. Douglas Mortimer: “You know, when you consider that ‘We’re Saving The Planet’ is the biggest power/money grabbing scam since ‘We’re Saving Your Souls,’ whoever leaked/released those e-mails and such is kind of like the modern scientific equivalent of Martin Luther. This person/persons may well have broken the backs of the Global Warming Priests who did everything in their power to make sure that the common man, and those who would oppose them, had no direct access to the Spoken Word of God.”
• AGW believer Megan McArdle: “This interview with the head of the UN’s climate experts is ridiculous. He responds to concerns about the peer review process being stacked by saying ... all the work was peer reviewed.”
• The bottom line on East Anglia’s decline hiders: “They’re just not prepared to tell the truth in public.”
