Cracks in the facade - the UK Meteorological Office

Hat tip to Steven Goddard writing at Watts Up With That for bringing this wonderful (and somewhat overdue - for them, not him) news:
Tipping point reached: UK Met Office makes blistering attack on those who make ‘Apocalyptic climate predictions’
Guest post by Steven Goddard
During the past few weeks, there have been several warnings of apocalypse from noted scientists. Dr. Hansen warned in The Guardian that President Obama has “four years to save the planet.” James McCarthy, head of the American Association for The Advancement of Science (AAAS) made a similar statement. Nobel Prize winning scientist Al Gore is going to take it a step further at next week’s AAAS meeting. Steven Chu, President Obama’s Secretary of Energy, warned that California will no longer be able to support agriculture or cities due to drought caused by global warming.

Then something remarkable happened.

Today’s Guardian has a lead story unlike anything we have seen before.
‘Apocalyptic climate predictions’ mislead the public, say experts’
Experts at Britain’s top climate research centre have launched a blistering attack on scientific colleagues and journalists who exaggerate the effects of global warming. The Met Office Hadley Centre, one of the most prestigious research facilities in the world, says recent “apocalyptic predictions” about Arctic ice melt and soaring temperatures are as bad as claims that global warming does not exist.
Nobody has been pushing the global warming story harder than the Met Office and The Guardian. Whom could they be referring to in this passage “scientific colleagues and journalists who exaggerate the effects of global warming?”
Wonderful and about time. Glad to see that people are seeing this scam for what it is -- a scientific theory that was never supported by hard scientific evidence but nonetheless, got hijacked by politicians and environmentalists who saw that they could use this for their own agendas: making money and putting a serious crimp on Western economic productivity. Sub-prime science and cultural marxism. Two political ideologies that are best suited to rule us. Bleagghhh.... The 200+ comments are also worth reading through -- good mix of ideas and lunacy.
