Right now those emails are just emails. They could either be genuine or completely manufactured by global warming skeptics.
We are now 4 degrees fairenheit below the 20th century average and had the 3rd coldest October on record.
You apparently didn't bother to download and read the emails before the link was shut down. I haven't made it through even a fraction of them, but it is very damaging evidence. However, what is available for you on the web is damaging enough.
By whom? By the funding body? Have you any ideas why that might be the case?I have been told in the past that if I can show a specific result then I can get government funding.
...two USA-specific temperature reports which have extremely little value in addressing what's up with global climate.
I've read the emails from the russian ftp site that they went up on, but I will only give a link to those who have published some of them. I will not publish any that I do not see online.

Josh Willis from the Jet Propulsion laboratory showed that temperatures of the currents and deeper parts of the ocean have actually gotten colder.
Ah, so your source is a Republican Senator. Color me skeptical of your "skepticism", then.
Link? And how about a link to your previously-mentioned solar scientists?
Perhaps some parts of the ocean have gotten colder, but the sea level is rising. The primary driver of sea volume changes is thermal expansion. You do the math.
No, I didn't read them. All I heard was a radio report about it. There was no clear evidence that anything's been falsified. There is clear evidence that a campaign group who didn't like his results pestered him and wasted his time with numerous freedom of information requests, and that this began to annoy him.
I'd say that the e-mails show that climate-change-sceptics don't engage properly with his science.
By whom? By the funding body? Have you any ideas why that might be the case?
I am not going to go search for a link which I posted the predictions of on this same forum a couple years ago. Yes, that was prior to it happening this year.
And if everyone says that sea grass is declining, then you're very interested to hear that it isn't. Yes, it's always nice to show something different. At this stage in the debate I don't think that such a bias favours one side over another.The funding bias is to show a change. Results that report steady-state are (a) boring and (b) statistically difficult.
I'm more interested to hear that sea grass is declining globally at 7% than to find out that sea crab numbers around sea vents don't change with ocean acidity.
That might be the case in your fields, but it isn't, as I have just written, in mine.Yes, I know why it was the case. People like to see "progress". And "progress" to many people means supporting a theory instead of contributing to disprove it.
No, not at all. But if someone wants to have an argument, I'm often willing, even if the person doesn't want the social consequences of such an argument in other threads.Is it just my cynicism that believes that a poster who posts 19 times in two years in one very politically sensitive thread is in danger of being misconstrued as a plant?
I have yet to see any prediction you have linked to that has come true.
You are dead wrong with your assumption about sea level rising due mainly to thermal expansion in the ocean, but that is a different topic altogether than Global Warming theory which says that warming temperatures are caused by man made events.

There are two main drivers of sea level: ice cover forming/melting on land, and thermal expansion.

Thats less than one page of results.
Under which circs it is not unreasonable to say, put up or shut up.
Solar physicists Galina Mashnich and Vladimir Bashkirtsev, of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believe the climate is driven by the sun and predict global cooling will soon occur. The two scientists are so convinced that global temperatures will cool within the next decade they have placed a $10,000 wager with a UK scientist to prove their certainty. The criteria for the $10,000 bet will be to compare global temperatures between 1998 and 2003 with those between 2012 and 2017. The loser will pay up in 2018, according to an April 16, 2007 article in Live Science.

In New Zealands case, the figures published on NIWAs [the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research] website suggest a strong warming trend in New Zealand over the past century:
But analysis of the raw climate data from the same temperature stations has just turned up a very different result:
