Cui bono DeSmog brings news that the Norfolk Constabulary has stopped its investigation into the CRU hacking.  In a press release they state: While no criminal proceedings will be instigated, the investigation has concluded that the data breach was the result of a ‘sophisticated and carefully orchestrated attack on the CRU ’s data files, carried out remotely via the internet’. Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Superintendant Julian Gregory, said: “Despite detailed and comprehensive enquiries, supported by experts in this field, the complex nature of this investigation means that we do not have a realistic prospect of identifying the offender or offenders and launching criminal proceedings within the time constraints imposed by law.“The international dimension of investigating the World Wide Web especially has proved extremely challenging.“However, as a result of our enquiries, we can say that the data breach was the result of a sophisticated and carefully orchestrated attack on the CRU ’s data files, carried out remotely via the internet.

Ice Ages and Delayed Feedbacks – Shakun et al.

Ice Ages and Delayed Feedbacks – Shakun et al. Eli is posting a translation of an article by  Jörg Zimmermann (one of the G&T six ), about the implications of Shakun et al, and how by clarifying much about the feedbacks that bring the world out of the ice age it shakes a core tenant of climate change denial.  The implications, although Jörg backs away a bit at the end in an overly scientific display of humility, are world shattering.
