Climate Comedy

As someone who writes code for a living and a hobby I was interested in the source code downloaded from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU).

The comments in the code make for enlightening reading. The HARRY_READ_ME.txt contained some nice comments about the quality of the code and was summed up nicely by one of the commenters.

Simplified code for CRU to use (from an average programmer with no climatology expertise):

For intYear = 1400 to 2009;
floatGlobalMeanTemerature = floatGlobalMeanTemperature + WHATEVER_THE_HELL_YOU_WANT_IT_TO_BE;
intYear++
next

Print “Holy Crap! We’re all going to die!”

After reading through some of the comments and code it is entirely clear that all of the data has been manipulated to fit an agenda.



Wattsupwiththat has some more in depth coverage of some of the code comments.

For your viewing pleasure.



Even John Stewart gets it.

My favorite Comment.

Poor Al Gore, Global warming debunked by the very Internet he invented.
