Wall Street Journal on Climategate: Has climate change data been rigged since the beginning

  The fallout over the leaked emails that are now being called Climategate continues. While the mainstream media, the far leftists, the alarmists, and most politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to be ignoring this story hoping that it will just go away so that they can continue their agenda as if nothing was wrong there is building momentum on the side of the global warming realists questioning the tactics of the climate change scientists.

  This article from the Wall Street Journal goes so far as to suggest that the global warming data has been rigged from the beginning, or at least the emails give that impression. It certainly seems as if this is the case to me.

   Almost from the beginning these scientists have ignored those with differing opinions, shunning them and not using their research in order to reach a predetermined conclusion instead of proving the global warming hypothesis. This is not scientific method it is manipulating chosen evidence to reach a conclusion that is hoped for, not what is true. These scientists reached their conclusion first and then looked to prove it.

   These scientists have done a disservice to their field, they have disgraced themselves, they need to be investigated and brought up on charges; they have already bilked the people out of millions and if they have their way an agenda that will cost trillions of dollars will be forced upon the people. All of this while a skeptical viewpoint and evidence to support that viewpoint existed in the scientific world and was irnored. This is criminal in my book. These people are worse than Bernie Madoff!

    Naturally the scientists who are involved in what is probably the biggest hoax in history are claiming that these emails have been taken out of context and perhaps some of them were, but read the following quote and tell me another way that it could have been interpretted:

I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

  This is not only ignoring contrary evidence, it is manipulating the evidence to reach a predetermined conclusion. These scientists are actually talking about redefining a process that is supposedly the one true check and balance within the scientific community.

  Those who have been affected by the whistleblowing email leaker are also trying to discredit the content of the emails because of the method the emails were made public.  But such whistleblowing has been hailed in the past as a necessary, vital, and acceptable means to expose corruption.

  Here is Wikipedia’s definition of whistleblower: 

 A whistleblower is a person who raises a concern about wrongdoing occurring in an organization or body of people, usually this person would be from that same organization. This misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations, and corruption. Whistleblowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organization) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to groups concerned with the issues).

  Certainly the email leaker falls within this definition making he or she a whistleblower and not a criminal. But we also have to look no farther than the stimulus bill. That’s right, the stimulus bill. Because an amendment was added to the stimulus bill that strengthened protections of whistleblowers.

  This is the statement that Nancy Pelosi issued in support of the whistleblower amendment:

We have worked for years to protect taxpayer dollars and improve services the federal government provides by protecting those most familiar with how the dollars are spent and the results achieved. Today, the worst economic downturn in decades requires recovery legislation of such a scope that these protections have become more critical than ever.“It is inconceivable that the people’s business had been conducted for so long without ‘whistleblower’ protections to encourage every public employee to do the right thing. In many cases, these whistleblowers save extraordinary sums of money, protect the integrity of research done in federal labs, and restore public confidence in the work of our nation.

“At last we have a President who believes we must both shine a bright light on our government and let the voices of those who speak the truth be heard loud and clear

  Senator James Inhofe has called for an investigation into climategate and so far he is alone but after reading that statement released by Nancy Pelosi I would say that she and everyone else in congress have a moral obligation to open an investigation into this matter.

   I understand that most politicians do not know this amendment was added to the stimulus bill because they did not read it, but Nancy Pelosi does and she went so far as to say “In many cases, these whistleblowers save extraordinary sums of money, protect the integrity of research done in federal labs, and restore public confidence in the work of our nation.”  Certainly climategate falls into that category. There are trillions of dollars at stake with this issue, but the problem is that Nancy Pelosi and the others who should open the investigation into climategate support the predetermined conclusion that was reached with purposely incomplete data. If she does not support investigating climategate the words that she released concerning whistleblower protections are meaningless and hollow.

  These emails have uncovered the biggest potential scandal in history, as the Wall Street Journal proclaimed: the data might have been rigged from the beginning. But our politicians are ignoring the story, our president is set to travel to Copenhagen to push the United States closer to a global warming treaty that will sell United States sovereignty down the river.

  Time is running short, politicians are as guilty in climategate as are the so-called scientists who have contrived this whole crisis, they are co-conspirators. They are accessories before and after the fact. They need to be held accountable but I think we all know the only person that will be held accountable is the whistleblower if he or she is ever caught.
