#climategate — Public Fediverse posts

Maybe a russian hacker will generate a false email with Grok, or a IA video showing claim that indeed meteorologists are cheating on temperatures they measure everyday so as to make us believe false #climategate things in our heads Just a few days before like they did before the Copenhague Summit

I am very interested in reading "Beyond the Hype: Inside Science’s Biggest Media Scandals From Climategate to Covid" by Fiona Fox.

I was in school, studying environmental science, when this began, and lost track of the scandal after I graduated and found myself unable to find a steady job for several years. The "Climategate" scandal, in a nutshell, was people stealing lots of emails from climate scientists and then selectively releasing them to the media to paint climate scientists as frauds. But it's complicated and consequential enough to warrant a book--especially since this model of media manipulation by bad actors on the right (but I repeat myself) has only grown since then.

This week's #ClimateMythRebuttal refresh might be considered an appendix to last week's treatment of "hide the decline," a full explanation of the dendrochronological roots of the #Climategate fiasco. Critiques welcome!

There's basic irony in play here, given that recent divergence of tree growth from what's been typical for millennia seems to be our fault, while #ClimateScienceDeniers were going into a positive lather over a juicy pull-quote from stolen emails.

Sound and fury signifying nothing and called #Climategate erupted 15 years ago, back when coastal flooding was less of a nuisance, alpine glaciers were larger and old temperature records still held.

If we had perfect instrumentation we could probably measure Climategate's success in making things a bit worse today. Procrastination was always Climategate's destination-- and here we are, warmer than need be.

We've updated this #ClimateMythRebuttal; reviews welcome!

Michael Mann wins his #ClimateGate defamation suit, 12 years later

When this happened, being 12 yrs stupider, I wasted a lot of time going through the emails (even data attachments) arguing with a Facebook friend about what they really meant. She obvs didn’t change her mind, but I learnt a lot about how this stuff works, how giving people more data can make things worse, which I feel prepared me well for this current era, and even some crazier stuff like #PizzaGate

На COP27 (конференция по климату) в Египте 800 частных самолетов привезли представителей мировой «элиты», которые читали лекции о сокращении авиаперелетов, экономии электроэнергии, отказе от потребления мяса и поездках на работу на велосипеде.

Good advice from @SwiftOnSecurity - as we found out with #Climategate if you're a #ClimateScientist , write emails like the Daily Mail is reading....

While the half-life of all climate bunk tends to be long, some #misinformation has truly low λ. Still at #13 in our 7-day rolling average of daily reads after 13 years, our rebuttal "What do the 'Climategate' hacked CRU emails tell us?" is freshly revised with an added "at a glance" section.

We'd love to hear what you think about our revision's on-ramp for helping to neutralize this still-glowing stitch-up, via the conveniently embedded feedback form

From the #OMFGVIRUS to #climategate, the hysterical people that are presenting themselves as the saviors of the planet, are themselves the ones most responsible for destroying life ironically, and blaming YOU, Mastadon reader. That's right. It is YOUR fault, you disgusting Carbon Polluter!! Blame-shifting is the tactic they use because they have nothing else to stand on. They can speak of carbon metrics, but they avoid the elephant in the room: their chemical dumping, clear-cutting, etc.
