Secret conspiracies

Roger Helmer MEP and Godfrey Bloom MEP made almost identical submissions to the science and technology select committee inquiry about the CRU emails. The submissions were full of the usual blogosphere borderline libelous nonsense about "hide the decline" and about the Hockey Stick: the kind of stuff which is common currency among the ignorant, the stupid, and the gullible.

What I want to know is: did one of them write this and share it with the other, or did they both receive it from a third party?

On software in climate science

To the Independent Climate Change Email Review Committee,

I am making this submission with regard to the discussions of software in the hacked CRU emails, and to the small amounts of software source code also published in the same incident. I am a software expert with long industrial experience. I also have some expertise in climate science software. I hope that my submission may clarify some of the issues raised.

( ... lots of stuff about software ... )

 

If you have any questions regarding this submission, or our work more broadly, I am of course available to give further evidence, in person if necessary.
