WatO WTF!

An astonishing interview took place on today's BBC World at One on radio 4. Chief scientific adviser to the Government Professor John Beddington was interviewed by presenter Martha Kearny. He suggested (quite rightly) that climategate was a conspiracy. But then to my absolute astonishment, He pronounced that the conspiracy was on the part of those who have a hacked into and then leaked the e-mails and information. Martha Kearney then cheerfully suggested that the Russians were at the root of it all. One might have expected her as a serious journalist to enquire if the real conspiracy was not more infact on the part of the CRU?

Viewing the information which has been leaked no fair-minded person could come to any other conclusion than the exchange of e-mails between the scientists and climatologists involved was anything other than a conspiracy not only to pervert evidence and data, But also to undermine, discredit and defame any dissenting voices within their own community. Professor Beddington went on to suggest that records which go back a mere 150 years which are now suddenly being released by the Met Office( who until recently said it would take at least three years to produce this data) would vindicate the"evidence" put forward by his colleagues at the CRU. Given that a significant number of the scientific community worldwide appear to have been conspiring to ignore/ obscure references to the medieval Warm period exclusive because it did not fit in with their "theories". Why Professor Beddington should we believe a word that any of you scientists say?
