Vincent Gray on Climategate: 'There Was Proof of Fraud All Along' (PJM Exclusive)

Posted By Vincent Gray On November 27, 2009 @ 2:47 am

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.

When you enter into a debate with any of them, they always stop cold when you ask an awkward
question. This applies even when you write to a government department or a member of Parliament. I
and many of my friends have grown accustomed to our failure to publish and to lecture, and to the
rejection of our comments submitted prior to every IPCC report.

But only recently did I realize that I had evidence of their fraud in my possession almost from the
birth of my interest in the subject.

I had copies of these two papers in 1990:

Jones, P. D., P. Ya. Groisman, M. Coughlan, N. Plummer, W. C. Wang & T. R. Karl 1990. Assessment
of urbanization effects in time series of surface air temperature over land, Nature 347 169- 172.

Wang, W-C, Z. Zeng, T. R Karl, 1990. Urban Heat Islands in China. Geophys. Res. Lett. 17,
2377-2380.

The first paper has been the major evidence presented by Jones in all of the IPCC reports to
dismiss the influence of urban change on the temperature measurements, and also has been used as an
excuse for the failure to mention most of the unequivocal evidence that such urban effects exist.
The paper was even dragged out again for the 2007 IPCC report.

The second paper, which shared authors Wang and Karl from the first paper, used the very same data
from China which the first paper used to demonstrate the absence of urban influence - yet instead
concluded that same data to be proof of the existence of urban influence.

In 2007, the following paper exposed the whole business:

Keenan, D."The Fraud Allegation Against Some Climatic Research of Wei-Chyug Wang. Energy and
Environment, 18, 985-995.

The author Keenan obtained the original Chinese data and found the claim that the data referred to
a continuous series was unfounded. He accused Wang of fraud - and it is interesting to read that
Tom Wigley (of the CRU emails) agrees with him.

Wigley fails to say, however, that his colleagues Jones and Karl are guilty of much worse than
Wang - as they continued to use their fraudulent paper to boost their constant and sometimes daily
assertion that recent global temperatures are unprecedented.

Wang was cleared of fraud by his university. But what about Jones and Karl?

In 1999, I had a stroke of luck. I asked one of the IPCC officials for the data from which one of
their maps was compiled, and I received it. I wrote a paper analyzing the results and submitted it
to Geophysical Research Letters. They just sat on it. I instead published it on John Daly's
website. Today, it is still the only paper recognized by Google on "Regional Temperature Change."

I now know my paper was not critical enough, since we have proof that the basic data and its
processing is far more dubious than I had envisaged.

I tried to update my paper and resubmit it. Nothing doing. Since the small group - revealed within
the CRU emails - control most of the peer reviewers, very few peer reviewed papers which criticize
that group are allowed to appear in the most prominent published literature which dominates the
academic establishment.

I have only been able to find a place to release my criticisms on the internet, now the only realm
where unfettered scientific discussion is possible.
