Climategate, Glaciergate, and now Naturegate!
Bishop Hill reports that Hans von Storch is disputing the authenticity of quotes attributed to him in a Nature article by Quirin Schiermeier. The article includes another shoddy attempt to dismiss the leaked UEA CRU emails as ‘taken out of context’ (how, for example, can the overt knobbling of the peer review process be taken out of context?), and follows a previous article that CRN described as ‘Nature Journal’s Rabid Climategate Editorial.’ It’s a scandal that a supposedly scientific journal like Nature seems unable to take an objective look at controversial issues in climate science.

I am a librarian who has done an extensive examination of Nature Magazine, via their website. Look at the scope of their reach. http://www.nature.com/npg_/contact/offices.html
The magazine partners with Macmillan Publishing Company, which supports global warming, and whose textbooks are sold in every school district in America. This is a massive, highly competitive industry.
Picture parents questioning the school textbooks. Macmillan would not be able to bear this scrutiny.

Quirin Schiermeier may have a habit of putting words in people’s mouths. M.S. El Naschie is sueing Nature for 10 million pounds for an article Quirin Schiermeier wrote. The case seems very similar to that of Hans von Storch.
Red meat for the Naschie Party

I love it… let’s tear all the houses of cards down, and eventually, we will see just who controls whom and where all the profits from these FEAR-BASED scams have gone.
If the people find out the truth, the billionaires will be all in jail together, for most of them have damn bloody hands of fraud, manipulation, deceit, murder (as in forcing us into ‘wars’ and killing for their profits, etc.,)
