Junk Science Bombshell: NASA & Media Knew About Bogus Climate Data 3 Years Ago

Further, all of this information regarding the accuracy and independence of NASA GISS data was directly communicated to a reporter from USA Today in August 2007.

The reporter never published it.

In a sane world these snake oil salesmen would be jailed.

Holy Junk Science, Al Gore!
NASA and the state-run media knew about temperature data issues nearly three years ago…
But pushed global warming junk science despite of this.
Pajamas Media reported, via Free Republic:

Email messages obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute via a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the climate dataset of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) was considered — by the top climate scientists within NASA itself — to be inferior to the data maintained by the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU).

The NASA scientists also felt that NASA GISS data was inferior to the National Climate Data Center Global Historical Climate Network (NCDC GHCN) database.

These emails, obtained by Christopher Horner, also show that the NASA GISS dataset was not independent of CRU data.

In related news… Nearly half of America believes the global warming threat is exaggerated by the loony left.
Ya think?

Rasmussen Poll: Worst Day Ever for Obama’s Presidential Approval Index Numbers

Three States Sue EPA Over Power To Regulate Carbon Emissions

But that hasn’t satisfied global warming skeptics.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said last month the finding could “create a staggering burden” on the state.

He added: “While we’re open to seeing where honest, unbiased science leads us in the climate policy arena, we’re not prepared to stand by while EPA proceeds to implement jobs-des... read more

Governors Great Lakes
Obama Global Warming enforcer, EPA chief Lisa Jackson
The EPA, which is threatening to regulate carbon emissions if Congress won’t, is facing legal heat from states that say new regulations will kill jobs.

Fox News:

The bitterly contested fight in Washington over global warming and pollution is also taking hold at the state level.

Texas, Alabama and Virginia, all led by Republican governors, have filed petitions since December, when the EPA ruled that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endanger human health, clearing the path for the agency to issue mandatory regulations to reduce them.

As the EPA grapples with the lawsuits, Congress is trying to block the agency from acting without congressional approval. Sen. John Rockefeller, D-W.Va., introduced legislation Thursday calling for a two-year suspension of potential EPA regulations.

The EPA already agreed, after Rockefeller complained last month, to delay phasing in its regulations until the end of the year.Read more at patdollard.com

What’s Next, Is She Going To Promise Them “72 Virgins”

“The American people do not want to eat dog food! This is not North Korea!”

“Nancy Pelosi said that Rangel’s corruption didn’t jeopardize the country, so it’s okay. Do these people not get how screwed they are going to be come November?”

Amplifyd from www.rushlimbaugh.com

“Mullah Nancy bin Pelosi is convincing Democrats to blow themselves up for health care. The only thing she can’t do is promise them 72 virgins.”

“Pelosi just said that the bill can be bipartisan even though the votes might not be bipartisan. Are we live? Are we actually on the air, or am I dreaming?” 

“Algore had a piece in the New York Times yesterday which I might dissect, but I don’t know… It really is painful to expose one’s self to such psychological frailty.”

“Did you guys hear what Obama said after the Chile earthquake? He said we can’t control Mother Nature. ‘Ah, things happen. We can’t control Mother Nature. Except when it comes to my global warming policies.’”

“I cannot, no matter how persuasive or talented, properly convey to you how badly the Democrats want this socialized health care bill. I mean, they are willing to lose their majorities in order to get this, and if looked at in that light, you have to take this very seriously.”

AG Cuccinelli Petitioned EPA to Reexamine Their CO2 “Endangerment Finding”

Cuccinelli believes, rightly, that regulations based on the findings of the EPA in this sketchy case would be both legally questionable and detrimental to Virginia’s economy. (Much of the research that the EPA has based these findings upon has come from the questionable climate-gate materials). Accordingly, the AG also has petitioned a federal appeals court to ... read more

During his campaign for Attorney General of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli committed himself to acting with an aggressive conservative agenda. He promised voters that he would the office to aggressively fight governmental overregulation and interference wherever he could find it.

Ken_Cuccinelli_04-1024x680-1

In other words, he pledged to use the office of Attorney General for good, rather than evil. After just over one month in office, he’s off to one hell of a start.

Last week, AG Cuccinelli boldly petitioned the EPA to convene a proceeding to reexamine their “Endangerment Finding” which claims that human activity has increased atmospheric greenhouse gases to a point that people’s lives are at risk. As such, they claim, the federal government must impose new caps on emissions and other climate protection policies in the energy sector.

Gore’s NYT op-ed, “We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change”

OK, here he is going out on a grand note. Make that a grandiose note:

We have overcome existential threats before. Winston Churchill is widely quoted as having said, “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes, you must do what is required.” Now is that time. Public officials must rise to this challenge by doing what is required; and the public must demand that they do so — or must replace them.

Sounds like he’s fighting the Axis menace when he puts it that way. Quoting Churchill in defense of shipping tons of money overseas and hobbling domestic industries … sure, that works. Couldn’t agree with him more on the last point, though: “Public officials must rise to this challenge by doing what is required; and the public must demand that they do so — or must replace them.”

The smart money right now is on “replace them.”

Have you ever sat through a shareholder’s meeting?  Trust me, having your wisdom teeth removed is less painful.  There is always that one person who refuses to dispense with reading of the last meeting’s minutes.  Cold. Hard. Miserable. Misery.  And that’s before they start going over the financial statements.  And yet
At the first opportunity for audience participation just several minutes into the proceeding, a longtime and well-known Apple shareholder–some would say gadfly–who introduced himself as Shelton Ehrlich, stood at the microphone and urged against Gore’s re-election to the board. Gore “has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted,” Ehrlich said, referring to Gore’s views on global warming. “If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn’t need to be re-elected.”

“Warming Emperor” Has No Clothes

For years now the "skeptics" of global warming have been branded as having "declared war on science" by people who have been colluding to "hide the decline" in global temperatures over the last decade.

These “scientists” are being discredited at a pace that would make President Obama’s growing unpopularity get whiplash envy. More and more it is finally being realized that they are what us laymen have known them to be all along, political eco-priests who have declared an actual WAR on SCIENCE and have formed an unholy alliance with liberal policy makers to build up a public cult of global warming.

Look liberals, either the globe is warming or it isn’t….but you don’t get to play this game where the earth says “I’m a popsicle because I have a fever.” That doesn’t make sense!

If the earth is getting warmer then when I turn on the Vancouver 2010 Olympics I want to see Lindsey Vonn doing the slalom on grass in a bikini…thats a promise that shouldn’t be made unless it can be kept damn it!

Whatever the case may be, its becoming increasingly clear that the worlds climate emperor indeed has no clothes.
