Why are there no Democrats pushing for an investigation into the Climate-gate scandal?
Posted on 2009 under Uncategorized | 12 Comments14 Dec
Why wouldn’t the Dems in congress want to take measures to get to the bottom of things for the sake of truth, especially if there’s a chance expensive legislation being pushed like Cap & Trade, which will undoubtedly increase everyone’s energy costs by 50% or more, is based on lies?
Or are there Dems I don’t know about who are actively seeking the truth?
Any reasonable and fair-minded person would agree there are undeniable reasons to have serious questions about the validity of the man-made climate change theory, especially since manipulation of data of which this theory is based on has been exposed.
A band of 28 Republican senators is calling on the United Nations to appoint an independent investigator to probe leaked e-mails they claim raise serious questions about the science behind global warming.
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, announced last week that the U.N. would conduct an investigation, saying at the time that the controversy over the e-mails was serious and that he didn’t want to "brush anything under the carpet."
But the GOP senators wrote in their letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that while such an inquiry is a "positive step," they want an investigation "that is truly independent of the IPCC and the U.N." — in the style of the independent investigation led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker in the wake of the Oil for Food scandal.
"The United Nations must now appoint another independent investigator with an international team to pursue this matter," the senators wrote. They also urged the U.N. to open the books on the matter to the U.S. Congress and general public.
"The investigation must be conducted without political interference and manipulation from individual countries, non-governmental organizations, those within the U.N., those who have contributed to the IPCC, those being investigated, or any closely related associates," the senators wrote. "In the interest of transparency, it is imperative that the U.S. Congress have full access to all documents, as well as transcripts and interviews, from the investigation, and that they be released to the public."
Republican officials in Washington have been waving red flags ever since the release of the e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit that appeared to show climate scientists discussing the manipulation of data. The unit has been involved with several of the IPCC’s own assessments.
The controversy comes in the midst of the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, where world leaders are working toward a new global treaty aimed at reducing emissions. Obama administration officials insist the e-mails do not discredit the underlying science behind global warming.
But the senators urged the U.N. Thursday to look at whether data was manipulated, whether there were attempts to keep scientific journals from publishing dissenting opinions and other matters.
"These e-mails reveal that several of the IPCC’s top scientists may have engaged in efforts to, among other things, manipulate data, defame scientists with opposing viewpoints, and evade transparency laws," they wrote.

**DISCLAIMER FOR THE WILLFULLY OBTUSE**
Don’t act like you don’t understand what I’m asking here. There’s no doubt climate does change. It’s been doing that for billions of years. I’m asking about MAN-MADE climate change theory and the manipulated data of which at least some of this theory is based on and the reasons why some in government (and the lemmings that are in lock step with them) might want to sweep the truth under the rug.
Because Democrats claim Republicans hate science… only from where I sit, Democrats wouldn’t know science if it jumped up and bit them on the @ss.
Global Warming is not science. It’s a big moneymaker for "scientists" who use gullible liberals to perpetuate the scam.

Probably because there isn’t a "Climate-gate Scandal".

AlGore and the warmers are total frauds – but since most LEFT WING HACKS are also WARMERS and FRAUDS too – there will be no investigation
Besides – they see nothing wrong with doctoring science and lying, in order to push their LEFT WING agenda

You people really are the political children of Tricky Dicky Nixon. Like Nixon you think it is alright to break into other peoples private stuff and then twist and spin the truth with the information that you steal . .

Democrats have been pushing for investigations.
And for the record, the emails suggest using a set of more accurate numbers to get rid of the decline. The numbers that get rid of the decline in global warming are real temperatures; not adjusted temperatures.
The REAL numbers prove Global Warming even MORE than the numbers they were using.
And the Congressional Budget Office has already said that after a big upfront ONE TIME cost, the cost of energy for the average American family will drop by anywhere between $40 and $245 PER MONTH. NOT per year, per month. That is hundreds to possibly thousands of dollars per year for all Americans.

Because even if this is found to be a huge forgery, and let me phrase this in caps because most people seem to have a real problem understanding it, IT’S A SCIENTIFIC ISSUE, NOT A POLITICAL ONE. The fact that ANYONE in the political realm is trying to make a name for themselves by attacking this lone university is beyond ridiculous. At the end of the day, this one university is not going to prove or disprove the entirety of the man-made global climate change theory. The theory is made up of data that’s been validated from a multitude of research locations, and there’s going to be no effect on anything they’ve said beforehand. If a lab falsified data about the Polio virus, people would not stop believing the Polio virus exists for exactly the same reason.

There are more important things to put time and energy into right now. That goes to republicans and democrats and independents.

Since global warming is a hoax and is just a way for radical leftist to destroy individual liberty- yes
this means profit making businesses,no profits no incentive to provide goods & services or please
people who will pay for things they what like PC’s- i don’t expect the democrat party ( dominated
by left radicals like Obama,Pelosi and Reid) ever ask for an investigation of climate-gate. Al Gore
lied about the currency of the email only a couple days ago " they tens years old" . Lie! Last month
is more like it. Don’t be fooled! Example: Why do they call it Greenland? Think about it.

Because it’s not nearly the "scandal" you think it is. Go to factcheck.org.

The only climate-gate scandal is in your own head.

LEt’s see why didn’t they want to investigate illegal oil shipments to iraq? Money! GE , Microsoft, AIG, BOA all want a chunk of this Climate change Cash therefore they are pushing their tools to oppose any real research.
