Orwellian Splendor

First of all, I'm going to type "Climategate" here so that it becomes a search term, and it will also be a new tag for the blog to help seed the search-engine cloud when peollke are thinking/asking about this.

But the reason for doing so is two-fold:

[1] I read this article at scragged.com about the course of events in the last 90 days round Climategate, thanks to a Tweet from Phil Johnson. That is certainly enough to make you a little sick to your western civilization stomach.

but [2] is even worse. In that essay, there's a link to this note from James Delingpole at the Telegraph UK -- a news outlet which is really getting in front of the IPCC hoax details. According to that blurb:

What is going on at Google? I only ask because last night when I typed “Global Warming” into Google News the top item was Christopher Booker’s superb analysis of the Climategate scandal.

It’s still the most-read article of the Telegraph’s entire online operation – 430 comments and counting – yet mysteriously when you try the same search now it doesn’t even feature. Instead, the top-featured item is a blogger pushing Al Gore’s AGW agenda. Perhaps there’s nothing sinister in this. Perhaps some Google-savvy reader can enlighten me…..

UPDATE: Richard North has some interesting thoughts on this. He too suspects some sort of skullduggery.

Pure madness. Google is actively surpressing information about Climategate? Next thing you know, people will start disappearing.

Seriously.
