Silent Scandal

If a scandal isn’t reported by the media, does that mean it never happened?
For the millions of Americans who don’t watch Fox News or listen to talk radio, the answer is a resounding yes.
Last Friday, November 20, evidence came to light that “appears to show a conspiracy to falsify data and suppress academic debate in order to exaggerate the possible threat of man-made global warming.” Translation: The global warming movement rests almost entirely on the IPCC’s claim to represent the “consensus” of climate science. That entire movement now stands discredited.
In the face of this absolutely shameful and possibly criminal revelation of chicanery, deceit and manipulation of data, the mainstream media has stuck to their decades long policy of ignoring any evidence or opinion that challenges their firm belief that the world is undergoing a climate crisis. A crisis that can only be rectified if all global citizens drastically change their behavior.
Despite these revelations, the AP’s science writer continued reporting on the worsening climate non-crisis, “Since the 1997 international accord to fight global warming, climate change has worsened and accelerated — beyond some of the grimmest of warnings made back then.” Scary stuff, if it were true.
CNN chimed in, reporting their own shocking headlines: Sea Level Rise Could Cost Port Cities $28 Trillion. Remember, this ‘news’ story was published after evidence had come to light that credibly challenged the very facts CNN was reporting. Yawn.
Six days after this scandal came to light, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and NBC had yet to make their viewers aware of what is being called “the greatest [scandal] in modern history.” A scandal that could derail the whole concept of man-made global warming. And, coincidently, the $129 billion carbon market that rests on this shaky and manipulated data.
Also ignoring this scandal is our very own president, who announced last Wednesday that he will attend the long-anticipated, high-stakes global climate summit in Copenhagen. Obama’s climate czar, Carol Browner, announced on the very same day that global warming science is “settled.’ No need to even address those pesky e-mails that purport to show differently.
“I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists. These people have been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real,” said Ms. Browner. The 2,500 hundred scientists, by the way, are comprised mainly of United Nations bureaucrats who have a vested interest in the massive wealth re-distribution that they suggest as a solution to this non-crisis.
On Thursday, more evidence of climate chicanery came to light – but was again ignored by the media. Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace, admitted that his organization’s recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was “a mistake.” Oops.
Also on Thursday, information surfaced that indicates Australia, also, appears to have been tinkering with raw data in order to make “global warming’ appear scarier that it really is.
Again, no mention was made in the U.S. media. Oh, CNN did finally acknowledged the issue finally by reporting that there was “very little context” in the e-mail evidence. CNN declined to publish any of the damning e-mails and they failed to identify any of those ‘leading scientists’ whose work has been shown to be a possible fraud.
Those ‘leading scientists’ then continued with business as usual, issuing another dire proclamation, “Tackling climate change will help prevent millions of deaths among people who are alive now and save the world for future generations.”
These same scientists then responded to the damning evidence to the contrary in the usual way. By attacking and discrediting the motives of the messenger. “We’re facing an effort by special interests who are trying to confuse the public,” said Richard Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a lead author of the UN IPCC Fourth Assessment Report.
As of this writing, Fox News is the only national outlet reporting on this scandal. Website WattsUpWithThat and Canada Free Press appear to be the only media investigating the hacked e-mails that seem to show a decades long conspiracy to fudge climate data and squelch any and all opposing data and scientists.
The ‘garbage-in, garbage-out’ climate models the IPCC use as proof of global warming now appear to be false. Global ‘leaders’ conveniently ignore the burgeoning scandal and continue to insist that unless a massive re-distribution of global wealth is immediately enacted, global warming will threaten every man woman and child on earth.
Americans can disagree on the extent of climate change and even question man’s role in it. The issue at hand however, is the fact that the media, whose job is to report facts, has declined to do so. The media, with Fox News as the only exception, have bought into Dan Rather’s “fake but accurate” view of the so-called ‘global-warming’ crisis.
Father Earth, Al Gore sums it up best: “This is not a political issue, or a scientific issue or a psychological issue – it’s a moral issue. If anything it’s actually a spiritual issue.” There you have it. If you don’t agree with the unscientific ‘consensus’ than you’re a really stupid, bad and immoral person. The left has spoken and the media agrees. Case closed.

I am no scientist but have questioned much science that has been shoved down our throats as middle school science and layman physics draws question to the credibility of ice core science alone.
For about 5 years now, I have spoken out about geologic processes that may have some impact on climate change. Although intuitive and not science based, I believe that the planet has it’s own rhythem regardless of human presence.
Yesterday was the first time I heard anything on the news that compares any estimated geologic processes to recorded human activity. It claimed that human GHG were currently equivalent to 1/3 of global volcano emissions but will soon mirror the numbers and further the probs. I have heard estimates of methane from cattle etc but have never heard a peep about sub-marine releases of methane due to off-shore earth quakes or crustal seepage from subducted zones at fault lines where sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and sheds it’s carbon.
As it is accepted by geologists that superplumes beneath the Canadian shield and South Africa are responsible for the upward thrust of heavy metals due to heat retention therefore expansion and subsequent rise, the reverse can be said about masses rich in carbon but lacking in heavy metals as heat and pressure will cause a release of carbon gas and the subsequent release of heat based on the mass and conductivity of overburden.
In layman’s terms, things rise due to relative mass or state to their surroundings. The Earth’s crust is akin to hot air balloons and high ranking environment scientists. All 3 are full of hot air! As things cool or lose mass they will certainly sink.
When a jogger sweats, the change from liqid to gas of sweat evacuates more heat then conduction alone.
Has anyone done research on relativity of effects between core-atmosphere heat exchange or has everyone forgot about the giant oven at our planet’s center? Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the huge nuclear powered radiant heater that we orbit.
In light of the new news about purposeful misinformation about climate, I have been forced to think the same as I did when I was just dumb.
Open up your minds people! I’m not against alternative energy or conservation! I’m against lies and greed! There are people who can make aspirin out of urine and hyper grow green-houses with burnt shingles. Salt water can be cracked so pure water is the by-product of energy generation and valuable metals mined from the waste.
The imminent danger to the planet is it’s stupification. Come on now. Are we going to perpetuate as mindless sheep? If you don’t start working with the establishment in stead of against, you will only get fleeced!
I may not be a scientist but at least my head is not in an Oort cloud!
