Senator Inhofe calls for a congressional investigation into “climategate”

November 23, 2009

  Many of us have known all along that the theory of man-made global warming was a crock of shit and that the whole issue was full of deceit aimed at controlling the actions of the citizenry of the United States. I have written countless articles featuring scientists who are global warming realists (skeptics) who question the data being used to propagate this hoax.

  But it wasn’t until last week, when leaked emails surfaced from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that the fears and doubts  we global warming realists knew all along were  officially confirmed.

  These emails confirm that the organization was hiding information from those that dispute man-made global warming because the evidence did not coincide with their agenda.

This is horrible,” said Pat Michaels, a climate scientist at the Cato Institute in Washington who is mentioned negatively in the emails. “This is what everyone feared. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for anyone who does not view global warming as an end-of-the-world issue to publish papers. This isn’t questionable practice, this is unethical.

  These so-called scientist have been skewing the data for political reasons and now the public has been made aware of their deceit. And this is nothing new, some of these emails are over ten years old. This has been a concerted effort from the very beginning and the issue may be coming to a head as Senator Inhofe is now calling for a congressional investigation into “climategate.”

Today, I will discuss something else – scientific integrity and how to improve it. Specifically, I will discuss the systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective scientific assessment in the world on the subject of climate change – the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. I will conclude with a series of recommendations as to the minimum changes the IPCC must make if it is to restore its credibility

  Those words by Senator Inhofe are not recent, they are from 2005. He warned us about IPCC’s integrity back then but there was not much support for him then. But in light of the recent email scandal he reiterated those words:

This is out of a speech that I made, Melanie, back on the floor of the Senate, and it was repeated, John Gizzi picked it up and put it in Human Events. This was 4 years ago, in talking about the science, cooking the science. I said I would discuss the “systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by which an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective science assessment in the world on the subject of climate change, the United Nations IPCC.”  Now that was four years ago; so we knew they were cooking the science back then, and you’ve been talking about the, you know, what’s happened recently with the bloggers coming up with what they did, what they

  He then brings the hammer down:

Well, on this thing, it is pretty serious. And since, you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I’m the Ranking Member on Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven days when we go back into session a week from today that would change this situation, I will call for an investigation.  ‘Cause this thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with.

  When pressed on who he will investigate he answered:

On the IPCC and on the United Nations on the way that they cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not

  I don’t know how much support he will gather for these investigations, I would guess not much if any but the truth is now out there. The IPCC has been exposed as the fraudulent organization that it is. We now have the proof that the global warming crowd has only been using the information that proves what they claim while ignoring information that disproves their beliefs– just as I and many others have been saying all along.

  Accusations like this cannot go uninvestigated, if congress has any morals they will follow Senator Inhofe’s lead and will investigate this corrupt United Nations organization.

  And for those of you who would claim that these emails were stolen and shouldn’t be made public, I would remind you that we learned from politicians and the media during the Bush administration that whistleblowers are important and proper.

      Hopefully he will just be the first. This should be big news yet it is being swept under the rug.

    By the way, Seantor Inhofe is from my home state of Oklahoma. He has a way of getting under the skin of the Democrats.

    Seriously, I don’t know how much support he will gather for an investigation, but even if it is very little from Congress, maybe he can stir the public interest in this story. If that happens, maybe the truth of the matter will be forthcoming.

    This climate change garbage is one thing that rubs me the wrong way. I am all for taking care of the environment, but if you believe what some of these people say, human beings are the scourge of the Earth. I simply do not believe there is evidence to support that and I get tired of hearing them run off at the mouth with their lies.

      Perhaps we the people need to get behind Inhoffe because he is RIGHT. We complain all the time about he incompetent idiots in our government but when one of our elected officials stands up to do the right thing, he usually does it alone. I think this would be a great blogger subject that we choose a day and all agree to cover. Of course, we will have to wait and see if he starts the investigation.

      As a bumper sticker Glenn Beck recently read, said,

      If the people will lead, the leaders will follow.

      Here is a chance for us to do just that.

      Isn’t it great, Larry, to be from Oklahoma! 🙂

      I don’t think he will be able to get support for an investigation but your point is a good one. As long as he stirs interest in the story it could have some effect. It will be up to us to keep this story alive.

    I agree LD, Inhofe has been a thorn in the side of those radical environmentalist who blame humans for all the worlds problems. Frankly, according to them we should all be dead and the earth should have turned into a burning fire ball circling the sun. Gore just said the earth’s interior is millions of degrees hot–I should be a piece of charcoal according to that. Most scientist will go with the flow its easier for them to get government grants for research and they live for that—yes, it puts the bread on the table and the car in the garage. Few will buck the system. There will be no congressional investigation on this as the Democrats are the committee chairman.

      You hit on a great point– many scientists are afraid to lose their grant money so they keep silent.

    Global warming is just one of the many smoke and mirrors politicians use for an agenda. We the people have zero confidence in our government. They all should fry
