The science is settled weve been told for decades by zealous proponents of manmade global warming hysteria. Thanks to an earth-shaking hacking scandal across the pond we now have mountains of documents from the worlds leading global warming advocacy center that show the science is about as settled as a southeast Asian tsunami. You wont be surprised by the Obama administrations response to Climategate.
With pursed lips and closed eyes and ears the White House is clinging to the old eco-mantra: The science is settled.
Never mind all the devastating new information about data manipulation intimidation and cult-like coverups to hide the decline in global temperatures over the last half-century they say. The science is settled.
Never mind what The Atlantics Clive Crook after wading through the climate science e-mail files of the U.K.s Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia called the overpowering stink of intellectual corruption -- combined with mafia-like suppression of dissent suppression of evidence and methods and plain statistical incompetence exposed by the document trove. The science is settled.
Never mind the expedient disappearance of mounds of raw weather station data that dissenting scientists were seeking through freedom of information requests from the Climatic Research Unit. The science is settled.
In March President Obama made a grandiose show of putting science above politics when lifting the ban on government-funded human embryonic stem cell research. Promoting science isnt just about providing resources -- its about protecting free and open inquiry he said during the signing ceremony. Its about letting scientists like those who are here today do their jobs free from manipulation or coercion and listening to what they tell us even when its inconvenient -- especially when its inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda -- and that we make scientific decisions based on facts not ideology.
Yet the pro-sound science president has surrounded himself with radical Climategate deniers who have spent their entire professional careers settling manmade global warming disaster science through fear mongering intimidation and ridicule of opponents.
-- Science czar John Holdren who will testify on Capitol Hill this week at a hearing on Climategate infamously hyped weather catastrophes and demographic disasters in the 1970s with his population control freak pals Paul and Anne Ehrlich. He made a public bet against free-market economist Julian Simon predicting dire shortages of five natural resources as a result of feared overconsumption. He lost on all counts. No matter.
Holdrens failure didnt stop him from writing forcefully about mass sterilization and forced abortion solutions to a fizzling sizzling overpopulated planet. And it didnt stop him from earning a living making more dire predictions.
In 1986 Ehrlich credited Holdren with forecasting that carbon-dioxide climate-induced famines could kill as many as a billion people before the year 2020. He went on to Harvard and the White House. On the Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year Holdren fretted that his son might not see snow!
Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist and Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball notes that Holdren turned up in the Climategate files belittling the work of astrophysicists Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the Solar Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division. Holdren put Harvard in sneer quotes when mocking a research paper Baliunas and Soon published in 2003 showing that the 20th century is probably not the warmest nor a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium. First deny. Next deride.
-- Energy Secretary Steven Chu picked derision as his weapon earlier this year when peddling the Obama administrations greenhouse-gas emission policy. The American public … just like your teenage kids arent acting in a way that they should act The Wall Street Journal quoted Chu. He dismissed dissent by asserting that theres very little debate about the impact of green energy policy on the economy.
Theres very little debate of course because dissenters get crushed.
-- The Obama teams chief eco-dissent crusher is climate czar Carol Browner. She oversaw the destruction of Environmental Protection Agency computer files in brazen violation of a federal judges order during the Clinton years requiring the agency to preserve its records.
Over the past year the EPA has stifled the dissent of Alan Carlin a senior research analyst at the agency who questioned the administrations reliance on outdated research on the health effects of greenhouse gases. Recently they sought to yank a YouTube video created by EPA lawyers Allan Zabel and Laurie Williams that is critical of cap-and-trade. Browner reportedly threatened auto execs in July by telling them to put nothing in writing … ever about their negotiations with her.
And she is now leading the science is settled stonewalling in the wake of Climategate. Im sticking with the 2500 scientists she said. These people have been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real. Book-cookers are good at making it seem so.
In any case last year more than 31000 scientists -- including 9021 Ph.D.s -- signed a petition sponsored by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine rejecting claims of human-caused global warming.
But hey whos counting? The science is settled.
