Libertarian Group To Sue Administration for Failing to Disclose Global Warming Docs

This is as much fun as the article, The Dog Ate Global Warming, by NRO’s Patrick Michael’s 9/23/09.
And what’s the gist of both stories?
1. FOIA requests for the data have been filed and the government doesn’t want to disclose the information they based their global warming decisions on.
2. An increasing number of scientists have been curious to see precisely what exactly the evidence is of the much-heralded 0.6 degree Centigrade rise in temperature this century we’ve heard so very much about.
The answer for these scientists?
We lost all the old data so we can’t provide it to you.
You’ll just have to take our word for it that it existed at one time, and when we “adjusted” it to correct for what we thought were errors, our corrections were proper and accurate.
Yep, there appears to be solid irrefutable evidence of global warming. It’s just that the dog ate my homework…

History will reveal what lemmings the American public have been…Accepting without question a theory funded by Al Gore…who has the largest “carbon footprint” in North America…and will reap a huge finacial benefit from implementing changes required to reduce carbon…
Meanwhile,
Do you know what the biggest carbon producer is???
TREES !!!!
DOH!

Interesting that ABC would use Sourcewatch as a credible source. What makes them a credible source to besmirch other people or institutions? Who are they and what is their agenda? Why does ABC outsource their reporting to organizations that are or more biased than the organization they are smearing? It is like asking the DNC to characterize the RNC or reverse. Shameful. disgusting and a reason why the MSM is collapsing.

Visit climateauditDOTorg for all you need to know about the long and lurid history behind today’s climate science, and how the field’s so-called pre-eminent paleoclimatologists (Mann, Briffa, etc.) refuse to archive their data and produce it for others. It’s shocking.

FYI, Michael Mann’s hockey stick is broken … again! Auditor extraordinaire Steve McIntyre has finally gotten his hands on Ken Briffa’s data and (surprise, surprise) Briffa cherry-picked tree rings that supported a hockey-stick shaped temperature curve. When you use all the data (surprise, surprise) it produces a temperature graph that shows cooling over the last few decades. It’s called the “divergence problem”. Go ask about in on RealClimate and see how you’re treated.

Jake,
It is 2009, CEI has not received funding from Exxon Mobil since 2005. Why is funding they received in the past relevant information at this point?
Just asking, you know, from one journalist to another.
Don’t be a lazy reporter. If it is relevant who CEI received funding from (then SourceWatch funding should be relevant too, btw) then do your job, and check CEI’s IRS filings for current information.

P.S. The global warming argument is over the original data that was altered and that the supporters of global warming refuse to disclose. There is a huge controversy among respected scientists despite Gore’s claims that the debate is over. Scientists want to do what scientist do: check the facts, run tests, and verify it is correct.
The argument is also over what data is being used (and why) by the government to support their decision to seek to implement cap-n-trade. It is reasonable to want to see what data is being used. There should be transparency here.
Please give a report based on facts not propaganda. Do not ignore the valid concerns of those who question global warming. The data that the supporters of global warming is using has not been verified as valid.

Why is it they never disclose just how much taxpayer money is being sucked up by the alarmists? Global Warming is big business and big money for politicians, corrupt scientists and energy giants like GE (who owns NBC and Obama). For every dollar spent by “big oil” to keep the science balanced, the alarmists and their sugardaddies spend 100. But it is only one side whose financial ties are examined and questioned. Fair and balanced?

ABC=”All the Bs you Can’t Stand!”
screw ‘em

“According to SourceWatch’s figures, in 2005 CEI received $180,000 from ExxonMobil Corporate Giving and $90,000 from ExxonMobil Foundation, all in the name of “general operating support.”
So what?
The ultra-liberal Heinz fondation has funneled $Millions to literally insane “scientists” like James Hansen, and John Holdren to advocate catastrophic climate scenerios that have no scientific basis.
Greenpeace has greater than $150,000,000 in revenue each year, most of which is spent on their agenda based climate alarmist budget.
ExxonMobile is a public corporation and responsible to stockholders.
Greenpeace, WWF, and other extreme whacko groups are not answerable to anyone, and spend orders of magnitude more than the so called “fossil fuel” industry on advocacy positions.
Who is the group dominating the climate advocacy game? It is not ExxonMobile, and it is infantile to make that implication. ExxonMobile just wants to make money, and I can sympathize with that.
Greenpeace, WWF, and other far-left, whacko groups want to control my way of life.

Global warming is a lie. Al Gore, John Kerry, & Barbara Boxer are all frauds. Mother Nature controls temperature, not us. NO MORE LIES!!!
