How climate sceptics tricked the public - BBC Newsnight 2009
It’s almost 10 years since “climategate” – when hackers stole thousands of climate scientists’ emails and documents. Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F The scandal, known as “Climategate”, rocked the scientific world.
Sceptics picked up on a small number of emails that seemed to suggest scientists had been deliberately manipulating data to exaggerate evidence of climate change. It wasn’t true, but what followed is thought to have shaped public opinion and could possibly have influenced the UN climate agreement that year.

Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) Netherlands - 2009
LOFARlofar.org
An international telescope
While LOFAR started as a national project in the Netherlands, consortia of institutes and researchers in several other countries soon placed orders to build one or more LOFAR antenna stations there. The enormous range of distances between the stations yield unique capabilities for detailed images of the sky.
The collaboration was consolidated with an MoU signed in 2010 in the presence of H.M. Queen Beatrix, and establishment of the International LOFAR Telescope (ILT) as a foundation under Dutch law. After a decade, the ILT has grown to encompass nine countries. Next to the Netherlands (38 stations), these are Germany (six stations), Poland (three stations), France, Ireland, Latvia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (one station each); a station in Italy is funded to be built soon. Still more countries are considering to join as well. Here you find the interactive LOFAR map.

Bill Still: The Secret of Oz - 2010
Best documentary of 2010
2009 Bill Still :What’s going on with the world’s economy? Foreclosures are everywhere, unemployment is skyrocketing – and this may only be the beginning. Could it be that solutions to the world’s economic problems could have been embedded in the most beloved children’s story of all time, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”?
The yellow brick road (the gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy’s silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were powerful symbols of author L. Frank Baum’s belief that the people – not the big banks — should control the quantity of a nation’s money. Debt free money.
