Last summer, scientists published a study that challenged the notion that global warming has been slowing down in recent years. Their analysis was based on temperature data that was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Since that time, Congressman Lamar Smith has asked NOAA for the data and internal communications that were related to the study, but they have refused to hand them over.
On October 13th, Smith filed a subpoena for the documents. The Congressman has long been skeptical of climate change, and has accused NOAA of fabricating temperature data. Smith told The Examiner that
Congress cannot do its job when agencies openly defy Congress and refuse to turn over information…When an agency decides to alter the way it has analyzed historical temperature data for the past few decades, it’s crucial to understand on what basis those decisions were made. This action has broad national and policy implications.
Despite the subpoena, NOAA still isn’t backing down on the grounds that there is a “long-standing practice in the scientific community to protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussions” and Congressman Eddie Bernice Johnson has backed them up by calling Smith’s subpoena an “illegitimate harassment of our nation’s research scientists.”

“long-standing practice in the scientific community to protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussions”
Ah, that’s more of less the exact opposite of tradition among the scientific community. If you report findings, you are responsible for letting the reader know what you did and why you did it. That goes for both how you collected the data and how you analyzed the data. The reader may or may not agree with the authors interpretation, and that’s fine. But refusing to share raw data or refusing to explain methods of data analysis is a huge red flag to any honest scientist.
More proof that Global Warming/Climate Change/OzoneLayerHoles/GlobalCooling is all a politically motivated scam with far reaching tentacles into academia that seeks to control resources through lies and deception.
more BS from this administration
Withhold funding … simple. New sheriffs in town. Read my prior posts on climate change. I’ve installed under contract temp monitoring station power systems. Still have the old contract pw n pics. LOL
We all know this is the enabling foundation for UN NWO, etc. They will block all efforts that compromise it.
All part of the bullshit Road to Paris 2030 Agenda. Climate change is a joke and always has been a huge smoke screen to take people’s minds off things like the evil TPP and the coming NWO!
That’s crap. Burning carbon (oil) into our atmosphere is wanton stupidity and it’s killing us. If the earth is getting cooler, why is it that we can now dill in the Arctic? Why is it that the coral is dying? Why is it that the permafrost is melting?
I’m not so sure that withholding the data is proof that global warming is a hoax. There are other considerations. Here are just a few.
The spawning of Salmon on the west coast of north America has dropped dramatically. Seals and Sea Lions are washing up on the west coast showing high weight loss and starving. Fishing fleets in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea are normally able to catch their annual quota of Codfish in 90 days. Now they’re staying out almost ten months and still can’t meet the quota. They bring up the traps (or “pots” as they call them), that were sent to the ocean floor with bait fish inside, and the traps are coming up filled with drowned Seals and Sea Lions who forced their way in to eat the bate because there isn’t anything swimming out at sea for them to eat. They can’t get back out of the traps, which have a one-way entrance.
Recently thousands of dead or dying sea birds washed up along the coast. They eat a form of krill which has vanished. They are starving to death. The fishing fleets are now required by NOAA to have a scientist on board each ship to record these catches whether they are Cod or the anomalous bi-catch of dead Seals, etc. The data they collect is classified, and fishing vessel employees are subject to immediate termination if these facts are divulged. There is something very wrong out there, and NOAA won’t release the data (in my opinion) because the reality is far worse than we can imagine.
Fukushima is a much more obvious explanation for the dying in the Pacific. If they were all getting together in Paris to figure out how to control that ongoing leak of radioactivity, I’d support that!
This is true as well. Probably as severe a threat as anything else- even the Methane plumes forming in the Arctic. One hears that the radioactive isotope of Cesium only has a half life of 37 years, and they perceive this to be a minor problem. (As opposed say to an isotope of Uranium), which may see a half life of 150,000 years. The truth is, the shorter half life isotopes are far more dangerous, because they decay at a faster rate. The radiation intensity over that duration of time is absolutely lethal, even though it is much shorter. And this is what the Tokyo Electric Company has been dumping in the Pacific unimpeded since 2011. It ought to be considered a Crime Against Humanity. But the Japanese, always conscious of saving face, have refused any outside help. I know people with the right kinds of technology that have tried- like Morningstar Applied Physics. They were turned away.
True, all of that — and it’s enough to put at least reasonable doubt on much of the “settled science” of global warming. If not for lots of other things, like the observation that the globe is not currently warming, the physical and mathematical omissions in the climate model on which they are relying, etc.
Your right witholding data doesnt prove global warmig is a hoax but there is no real data to prove all of those natural disaster scenarios you mention have anything to do with anthroprogenic climate change either. In fact, it could be argued that the weather has nothing to do with much of that stuff. Furthermore, there are no political solutions on the table to resolve any of that stuff. Sorry but carbon credits or a global carbon tax will simply cause more poverty and suffering for most and continue wealth consolidation for the ultra wealthy robber barons. When the IPCC, UN, WHO etc.. start to seriously look at GMO crops, terraforming weather modifications, the extraction process of fossil fuels from the earth, corporate polluting on a mass scale and many other factors as parts of a bigger problem then we can talk solutions. When they tell us with a straight face that an elemental compound that is absolutely vital to life on earth, CO2, is to blame, in a vacuum, they lose all credibility, regardless the data or paid puppets in academia that parrot the cause.
Brent- I agree in part with some of what you’ve said. But the average citizen has no experience in reading that data- (whatever it might be.) For example, people hear that the polar ice was growing back faster each winter in recent times than in previous decades. Superficially, It appears to contradict the global warming scenario. But snow melt (melting glaciers) produce mineral free water. It freezes faster than salinated water. Its specific gravity is lower, so it floats above normal, mineral-laden sea water. Its temperature is just above freezing. And the weather patterns that pass above the north Atlantic carry that colder effect into Europe which sees a more severe winter. Thus global warming is pegged as a “hoax”.
The reality is, that the weather modification campaigns that have become so obvious to anyone with a brain and a set of eyes, are dispensing Aluminum Oxide nanoparticles- both as a fuel additive and as ice condensation nuclei. Eventually, this material- one of the components in nanothermate, ( a high-temperature explosive) reaches the ground as fallout. The forest fires that follow the artificial drought that has resulted burn longer and hotter. CDF statistics on forest wildfires since year 2000 show the total acreage consumed and suppression costs on these fires has doubled in that time span. And the resulting plumes of Carbon produced by these super-hot wildfires is lofted to the stratosphere, where it is settling out in the Arctic.
According to climatologist Jason Box, head of the Dark Snow Project, the resulting loss of albedo (reflectivity) is causing the polar ice to melt off at three times the rate originally believed. And to exacerbate the greenhouse gases problem- even beyond higher CO2, the cold fresh water on the north Atlantic’s surface is causing the warm Gulf Stream Current to subduct in the Labrador Strait, melting off the Methane Hydrate deposits on the sea floor. Methane has a much higher impact on the retention of warmth in the atmosphere. It’s basic chemistry after all. And when this material sublimates into a gas rising from the depths, it kills all sea life that depend on the Oxygen dissolved in the ocean for aquatic respiration.
Frankly, I feel it is too late to change the circumstances if this world wide problem is anthropomorphic. But we could at the very least be willing to listen and consider a path to recovery, or Mother Nature will do it for us.
We have no idea what could be achieved to reverse climate change if we stopped subsidizing fossil fuels and grew hemp extensively and replace petrochemicals with it for the thousands of products it can be used for. And it’s a more superior option. We’ve done nothing. Of course, the Paris summit will impose fees and penalties because that is all government is capable of. The modus operandi of government is to control and penalizing the use of fossil fuels is a perfect method to do that. Carbon taxes and the like should have been undertaken years ago. We’re beyond that now. We need to change our habits and fast. Funny that we in the West haven’t really seen the devastating effects of climate change. Again, it’s the poor who suffer most. Maybe when climate change hits exponential growth we’ll see it but if it goes into runaway mode, that will be too late. We have absolutely no idea when that can happen. I don’t know what the oil magnates will do, how will they survive earth temps of 4 degrees and more? (not that I care about them)
I don’t know why we plebs keep looking to Goliath to tell us what to do. We don’t need any of those global entities – we can start conserving energy now (we should have started long ago) and working with each other to use alternative energies. While we keep looking to Goliath we’re only going to get clobbered either way.
Nice bit of angry yelling there, shows your ignorance to reality.
Deniers are f**king up our climate which belongs to everyone and saying that’s normal doesn’t anger you? Well maybe your blood has already stopped flowing. Wolfie is right. Anyone with any nouse knows you can’t be doing what we do and think that the ecosystem is not going to be affected. The discrepancy is in the cost – deniers deny climate change because they only consider the cost. They obviously know nothing about science. What they fail to realize is that the cost to us is astronomically higher the longer we use fossil fuels. Not only the cost in terms of the change to alternative energies that may cost more upfront but they fail to understand the freedom from oligarchy that clean, abundant and renewable energies will bestow humanity. Conservatives are not exactly renowned for their vision and rationality.
Let me explain something called the “Scientific Method” to you.
1) You come up with a theory
2) You make predictions based on that theory
3) You then come up with an experiment that allows you to test those predictions (called “an experiment”)
4) You run that experiment and compare the results of that experiment with your predictions
5) If the results of the experiment don’t match your predictions, it’s time to rethink your theory.
When it comes to Global Warming, the experiment happens to be the computer models. All those models predicted temperatures to rise.
There was no warming detected over the period of time the models predicted there would be warming.
The actual results failed to match the predicted results. That means it’s time to rethink Global Warming.
Want to repeat that “no nothing about science” claim?
Nevermind the “actual ” evidence since most people believe whatever they are told as long as its the reputable liars telling them what to think over and over again.
They cant see the agenda and real reason for the entire hoax. We are on the precipise of a nuclear war with Russia that could wipe out Millions but those same politicians who wage war and cause massive casualties with there policies all over the world ” Cares about Polar Bears and our Climate”. At some point we have got to call these sociopaths out as the liars and cowardice killers that they are…
You cant be for War in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iran etc. in one breath but then speak about “saving” the planet from an inert gas in the next breath and not think that those capable of forming a thought independent of what they are being told wont see through the BS.
Using a popular pejorative like ‘denier’ does show your allegiance to a particular ‘team.’ Since you’ve lost objectivity, you’ve lost the debate. And it IS a debate. An intellectual debate over a human programmed computer model with the haziest definition of the term ‘global temperature.’ Even your vaunted computer model didn’t predict the ‘climate’ for the past 10 – 20 years. THINK. Quit rooting for a team. Besides, just which climate do you want to have on earth? 1950? 1850? 1750? Since you think man can change it, I’m just curious where you want to stop the most chaotic and least predictable phenomena on the planet.
A lie is a lie, even if everyone believes it. Truth is truth, even when no one believes it.
The temperature has been falling because of chemtrails dummy.
Excuse me, but you’re working for a Government Funded Agency.
You’re employed by the tax-payers. That means the tax-payers own your work product and have a right to see it.
You’ve basically just told your boss “no”. The typical response to that is getting fired.
