What climategate really tells us

One of the several scandalous revelations of the Climategate e-mails is that this claim of consensus is a lie. Never mind the skeptics: It turns out many of the scientists in the CRU inner circle had doubts and disagreements about their data, methodology and conclusions, and often bickered with one another about defects in their project.

UN Security Stops Journalist's  Questions About ClimateGate

A Stanford Professor has used United Nation security officers to silence a journalist asking him “inconvenient questions”  during a press briefing at the climate change conference in Copenhagen.

Professor Stephen Schneider’s assistant requested armed UN security officers who held film maker Phelim McAleer, ordered him to stop filming and prevented further questioning after the press conference where the Stanford academic was launching a book.

Vindicating climate change skeptics

The recent revelations — now known as Climategate — of how proponents of man-made global warming fudged and manipulated temperature data at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit in the U.K. to back the IPCC claim confirms the skepticism of many scientists for more than a decade.

Among scientists voicing concerns over the IPCC claim was Freeman Dyson, the eminent physicist and mathematician at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

ClimateGate, Copenhagen, and the only two questions that really matter

  1. What if global warming is real?
  2. What if global warming is nothing but a great con-job being played on a gullible world population?

This contribution by Dr. Laurie Mylroie is so good we are also cataloging it as a Historic Contribution.  See her Wikipedia page as well.  The article appeared originally in The American Spectator (October 2006).  As much as we disagree with many of her beliefs on this matter, we do agree that our national intelligence community was not up to the task of determining the best available truth across the board.  Her two books:

Phi Beta Iota: If there were one single person to elect as being representative of all that we are capable of if we commit ourselves to conscious evolution, Tom Atlee would be that person.

We urge all those interested in Public Intelligence to buy his new book, a tipping-point book, and consider buying it in lots of 10 or more as holiday gifts.

Tom and the Co-Intelligence Institute are the role models for all of us, and anything anyone can do to support their continuing contributions to social sanity is strongly encouraged.  St.

The Oxymoronic Concept of ‘NATO Intelligence’

In 2008, a FOIA request resulted in the release of a (redacted) version of a 1984 CIA article: NATO Intelligence: A Contradiction in Terms.

The report is pretty scathing:

“Since its inception, NATO has essentially opted out of the intelligence business. The command structure is almost totally innocent of any inherent capability for detecting or analyzing what is really going on. An almost pathetic aspect of the situation is the occasional effort by well meaning national officers to find ways to feed the very life blood of a viable defense system (intelligence) into a virtual corpse.”

Search: gender intelligence advantages

Very important search.  Although we have often stated our view that women are better intelligence (decision-support) managers because they have higher intuition, smaller egos, and are not stunted with respect to the role of feelings and care as relevant factors, we've never really looked this up.  Below are a few links, thank you for a great search idea.

Wikipedia:  Sex and intelligence

It is possible that sexual dimorphism may exist in regard to intellectual abilities in humans.[citation needed] Men may have evolved greater spatial abilities, possibly as a result of certain behaviors, such as navigating during a hunt, that they were more likely to be involved in during humans' evolutionary history.[44] Similarly, women may have evolved to devote more mental resources to gathering food, as well as understanding and tracking relationships and reading others' emotional states in order for them to be able to better understand their social situation.[44]

Wikipedia: Gender differences

From conception to death, but particularly before adulthood, females are less vulnerable than males to developmental difficulties and chronic illnesses.[2][3] This could be due to females having two x chromosomes instead of just one,[4] or in the reduced exposure to testosterone.[5]

  • In the big five personality traits, women score higher in Agreeableness (tendency to be compassionate and cooperative) and Neuroticism (tendency to feel anxiety, anger, and depression).[7]
  • Demographics of MBTI surveys indicate that 60-75% of women prefer feeling and 55-80% of men prefer thinking.[8][9]

Females score higher on self-report scales of empathy, on samples ranging from school-age children to adults. Empathy scales include measures of perspective taking, orientation towards another person, empathic concern, and personal distress. However, such measures are subjective and empathy may be more related to gender role rather than sex.[10]

Simon Baron-Cohen‘s EQ SQ Theory claims that, in general, men are better at systematizing (the desire to analyze and explore systems and rules) and that women are better at empathizing (the ability to identify with other people’s feelings).
