Darrell Issa calls for an investigation into Climategate, calls Obama’s inaction unconscionable

  Republicans are beginning to apply more pressure to the administration to investigate Climategate. The first Republican to call for an investigation was James Inhofe, who has asked Barbara Boxer to open up and investigation and now we are hearing strong words from Representative Darrell Issa, who is also calling for a Climategate investigation.

The White House’s unwillingness to open a similar inquiry could now only be characterized as “a sad abdication of their responsibility to ensure that U.S. policies are not driven by corrupted science and data,” the congressman added.

  But that wasn’t all that the congressman had to say:

The very integrity of the report that the Obama administration has predicated much of its climate change policy has been called into question and it is unconscionable that this administration and Congress is willing to abdicate responsibility of uncovering the truth to the United Nations

  The University of  East Anglia– where the disgraced scientists of the CRU are based– has announced that it is going to open up an investigation into Climategate and the United Nations has also followed suit and will investigate the obvious manipulation of data. Yet Barack Obama is proceeding as if nothing has happened and Darrel Issa finds this to be unconscionable. So do I.

  While the United Nations and the University of East Anglia are taking this controversy at least somewhat seriously, here is what Barack Obama’s science czar had to say about the scandal:

It is important to understand that these kinds of controversies and even accusations of bias and improper manipulation are not all that uncommon in science, in all branches of science

  It is evident that the administration is not taking this revelation that the science has been manipulated and is fraudulent very seriously at all. Barack Obama’s cap and trade policies are based on the reports or the CRU and the IPCC and he is not only not willing to admit that fraud may have been committed in the writing of these reports, but he is ignoring the scandal altogether as he prepares to fly to Copenhagen to further his global warming agenda.

  This is the utmost of irresponsibility. With these two investigations being launch and with at least two members of congress calling for an investigation the president should not only postpone his Copenhagen trip, he should also notify congress that he will not proceed with any cap and trade legislation until the CRU, the United Nations, and the United States have all completed investigations into this matter. He should be asking for an investigation into Climategate.

  As Darrel Issa stated, the integrity of the report that Obama has based his policy on is in question, this should be a red flag to an ethical administration yet Barack Obama has decided the best method to combat the allegations that the science has been manipulated is to ignore the scandal completely. He is doing this because he believes in the global warming agenda of taxing and regulating the American people into submission and he doesn’t care if the evidence was manufactured as long as he achieves his desired result.
