- W291147560 abstract "THE LEAKING OF the East Anglia Climategate e-mails and data last November shattered the appearance of a scientific consensus on supposed man-made global and provided a disturbing insight into the corruption of the scientific process as it relates to the man-made global hypothesis. The spectacle of scientists stonewalling freedom of information requests, destroying records, hiding unwelcome results, colluding to keep dissenting viewpoints out of scholarly journals, and even suppressing their own acknowledged doubts--all of this made it perfectly clear that other interests were at stake than the pure pursuit of knowledge. The centrality of the quest for funding in the e-mail exchanges made it equally clear that for the scientists in question, money, unsurprisingly, was first and foremost among those interests. But just who or what had corrupted the science in order to produce the phantom consensus? Commentators in U.S. online discussion forums and blogs wasted no time in identifying two prime suspects: the reputed prophet of green energy, Al Gore, and the right's least favorite leftist billionaire, George Soros. Such speculation said a lot about the top bogeymen in the conservative blogosphere, but it was prima facie implausible or even indeed absurd. After all, no single individual, no matter how wealthy, has the resources that it takes to politicize weather and corrupt the entire global scientific enterprise. Indeed, in the grand scheme of things, one of the named suspects is not even particularly wealthy. Despite the prominent role he has played as a spokesperson for alarmism, it is far more likely that the former vice president is a passenger on the global warming bandwagon, not a driver. If no individual has the money it takes, states--especially if they pool their resources--most certainly do. The real culprit in the corruption of the scientific process and the promotion of alarmism is named again and again in the East Anglia e-mails and documents. But the culprit is named with many different names, mysterious combinations of letters and numbers and lyrical code words, names like DGXII, DGXI, FP5, FP6, LIFE, and ENRICH. What do they mean? In the final analysis, it is but one and the same multinational organization that lurks behind all these designations: the European Union. The EU funding stream ALL. THE DESIGNATIONS refer either to departments of the European Commission or EU funding schemes, DGXII is the acronym by which the Commission's Directorate General for Research was formerly designated, and DGXI was the acronym for the Directorate General for the Environment. The Research DG is essentially a funding organization. It controls a massive multi-year budget for support known as the Programme--or FP, for short. The European Network for Research into Global Change--or ENRICH--was an early change initiative that was launched already under the fourth Framework Programme (1994-96). The Environment DG likewise has at its disposal a instrument (albeit a more modest one). The financing program of the Environment DG is called LIFE. The Research Directorate's Framework Programme 6--or FP6--ran from 2002 through 2006 and comprised a budget of some [euro]17.5 billion. The current Framework Programme 7 began in 2007 and will run through 2013. It comprises a support budget of some [euro]50.5 billion. FP6 funded 26 projects on change. The total EU contribution to these projects was a whopping [euro]165,580,451. The University of East Anglia was a partner institution in no less than eight of these projects and it was the coordinating institution for one. Under FP7, the climate research manna has flowed even more freely. In just the first three years (2007-09) of the current Framework Programme, the European Commission has already funded 28 projects on change for a total EU contribution, according to provisional data, of some [euro]116,271,772. …" @default.
