This is getting pathetic:

SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.

The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data.

In a statement on its website, the CRU said: “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.”

These are some of the chief scientists who were involved in the UN’s climate change panel, upon whose report the entire issue of global warming is based. They’ve been caught hiding data, changing numbers, undermining peer-review, etc. Now, they’ve apparently destroyed the original data that they used to make their claims. They only have the fake data left.

What does this mean? It means that any claim these people make based on their own research should be ignored, because they can’t back it up with their original data, and it will be impossible for other scientists to reproduce their results.

Again, this is why we’re supposed to use curly light bulbs. This is why there are Priuses. This is why we need Cap & Trade. This is why we don’t build power plants in this country anymore. It’s all because of data that’s been made up by people who hide their fundamental data.

For those of us who believe that anthropogenic global warming is bullshit, this is just further evidence that it was a manufactured farce perpetrated by ridiculous people for political purposes. For those who believe that it’s a fact, you should be completely outraged by the incompetence and scheming of scientists who are actively seeking to obscure facts, manipulate date, and destroy the people who disagree with them.

How is the White House responding?

Climate Czar Carol Browner (former member of Socialist International):

"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."

Except that the data they’ve been using is now missing, and all that remains is fake data provided by scientists of questionable character.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:

"Several thousand scientist have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening…I don’t think that is in dispute anymore"

Except for the fact that the fundamental evidence is in dispute, it’s not in dispute anymore. The dispute has grown so obvious that it’s doubtful that we should even HAVE a climate change czar.

Science at its heart is nothing more than a search for truth. It’s the pursuit of understanding. It’s the gathering of precise and accurate information that describes the universe we live in. Science should be ideologically and politically independent and pure.

Science is also a human endeavor. No other species seeks understanding like we do. And God, however you understand him, has no use for it; He IS science.

Therefore, since science is human, science is corruptible. And science is corrupt.

1,000 emails and more than 3,000 other documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University in the United Kingdom publicly revealed by a hacker, or allegedly an inside whistleblower, are rekindling the flame to the global warming debate just weeks before the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference where the United States will propose an emissions reduction target. A sample of what the emails exposed, which date back 13 years, includes:

“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.”

And:

“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

And:

“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report,” Jones writes. “Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

Some have argued the quotes have been taken out of context while others say the context is clear as day. Other information was erased completely to prevent it from being obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. And others believe “that this is not a scandal so much as a window on real scientists working on a politicized issue.”

This is the greatest scandal in human history. Countries have signed treaties based on data that has been altered and while other data has been "hidden." The central scientists can’t explain why there hasn’t been warming, and think it’s a "travesty." They seek to exclude information from UN reports on climate change, rather than simply present the truth.

We’re being asked to use expensive, more dangerous light bulbs we use because of this. We’re asked to drive certain cars because of this. We’re asked to eliminate meat from our diets because of this. We’re asked to give up our nation’s sovereignty because of this. We’re asked to pay more for energy because of this. Our auto industry was driven into collapse partly because of government hysteria based on outright lies about climate change. General Electric has based its business model on solar panels and windmills. The corruption of science has directly affected our lives, from the global level, all the way down to the stuff we keep in our own homes.

The question, now that the skepticism many of us have had about the climate change scam has been confirmed, is why? Control, of course. And money.

These scientists have been funded by GOVERNMENT GRANTS. Therefore, it’s theoretically, and now apparently actually was, in the scientists’ best interest to find and deliver data that supported the global government agenda. And what’s the government’s agenda? Central control, fascism, restrictions on freedom of property, freedom of movement, freedom of association. In all of human history, the agenda of any government is incompatible with individual liberty. Therefore, government-funded science is a tool of tyranny.

Al Gore has become an incredibly wealthy man based on this scam. He’s been the manufactured crisis’s chief salesman, and has profited quite nicely. Yet he’s seen as some kind of crusading hero rather than simply a cynical televangelist. His scientific mentors have been discredited over and over again for decades, but he still cites them. If there’s any justice, his career should be over.

The president’s science czar advocates forced abortions and mass sterilization in response to global catastrophes that he thought were going to come about due to human-caused climate change. If there’s any justice, he’ll be removed from office.

This is a revolutionary time. Everything we’re told is based on lies. Central governments are losing their moral authority to lead. Nation-states all over the world are being unveiled as corrupt, inhumane, lying, oppressive, and paranoid. They have their greasy tentacles in the media, science, entertainment, education, and increasingly, churches. And it’s been going on for decades.

Anything you thought was true 5, 10, 20, 50 maybe even 100 years ago, isn’t. Anybody who still can’t see simply has his eyes shut.

The greatest (worst?) part of this failure of science is that basic truth has become a casualty. They’ve brought about a condition where honest discovery must be met with extreme skepticism. They’ve brought about a situation where the smartest among us can’t be trusted, which could allow a new age of superstition and fear to finally destroy our age of enlightenment. Their lack of a solid moral compass has undermined their influence. And because of that, we’re one step closer to the edge of a new dark age. Too much of our faith was placed in the hands of prideful, weak, corrupt, ridiculous men. Our founders warned us. God warned us. And yet, here we are.

Al Gore likens fight against climate change to fight against Nazi Germany

Mr Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as that from Hitler.

You don’t need to read the rest of the article.  It’s just the same ol’ Al Gore.  But I sympathize.  I suppose it would be difficult to waltz into the UK and persuade the British that climate change is as immediate a threat as German rockets randomly detonating in the city of London.  What a tool.

The House of Representatives today voted by a very thin margin to enact cap and trade legislation that everybody agrees will directly increase costs of electricity and gasoline for every American, and indirectly increase the costs of everything we build, buy, sell, move or do.  The effect of this legislation is that living our lives and pursuing our dreams will get harder. Our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be harder to enjoy.  Our daily lives will become more expensive.  We’ll have a tougher time giving our kids the opportunities that we’ve had.  We’ll have to work harder and longer in order to retire someday.  We’ll pay more for less.  Our best businesses will have to perform better just to stay competitive, and our marginal businesses will be pushed into failure.  Jobs will be lost.  Our Representatives are building speed bumps for everybody.

Why?  Because some people believe that humans are causing “climate change” by emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.  The climate on the planet has always changed.  There have been ice ages.  There have been warm periods with massive desertification.  There have been intense solar cycles, and there have been times when the sun is very inactive.  There have been volcanic eruptions that toss so much shit into the air that it cools the entire planet for decades.  The last ten years have been remarkable in the LACK of evidence for a change in global temperature, but for some reason the House had to pass this bill with little debate TODAY.

The skepticism over man-made global warming has been swelling for years. Other countries are backing off on their prior climate change policies.  Other countries have NO plan to limit their own potential by enacting this kind of suicidal regulatory regime.  China’s economy is a fraction of the size of America’s, but they emit massive amounts of carbon.  They have no plan to change that, whereas we are on the road to unilaterally crippling ourselves.

This insanity is not new.  We add corn to our gasoline to protect the environment, when it actually reduces engine efficiency, causes engines to fail early, pits food sources against energy sources and drives up costs, and the increased farming puts more pesticides into water supplies.  We buy ugly cars for more money, and the costs don’t offset until almost a decade after driving them under normal use.  Some people have been terrified into the idea that we’re killing ourselves with carbon dioxide by people who have personal stakes in companies that stand to benefit directly from passing legislation to “prevent” it.  If I told you your tits were going to fall off unless you rubbed them down with my special sauce, you’d call bullshit.  But Al Gore makes himself a PowerPoint presentation and everybody’s bowels explode.

The first motive is money.  Political elites have set up a system in which they control the supply of a commodity THAT DOESN’T EXIST, and then tell you you have to buy it or they’ll fine you and make you buy it anyway.

The second motive is envy.  Pointy-headed intellectuals and politicians who think they’re smarter than everybody else, but who have never created or produced anything in their lives, look at the capitalist system and private sector as cheap and materialistic, but they want a piece of that wealth for themselves.  So they spend their lives tearing them down and enacting public policy that transfers private wealth into their public coffers, so that they can give it to who they believe is more “deserving” of it, people who they “approve” of.

The most important motive is power.  Stripping money and influence and power from individuals and from private organizations and funneling it into community organizations and massive, unaccountable government bureaucracies and labor unions and nationalized industries puts THEM in control of the means of production.  THEY control who gets wealthy, THEY control what gets made, who makes it, how it’s used.

Why are environmentalists and their organizations almost exclusively liberal, if not utterly Marxist?  It’s because they see the environmental cause as a route to the acquisition of power.  They see it as a way to instill fear.  Fear causes people to make bad decisions.  And bad decisions are how free people willingly surrender their individual rights.  If you can get people to believe that the world is coming to an end, that its their fault, that they’re going to lose their jobs and their health care, that bankers and Jews are causing it, and then present them with a clean, articulate, hip black friend who can read a teleprompter like nobody’s business and convince them that he has all the answers to their fears?  It’s like shooting poorly-educated, Obama-voting fish in a barrel.

The only way we can prevent this nightmare scenario from unfolding is to get the Senate to stop it.  If I may be coarse for a moment, call or write your goddamned Senator for once in your life.  They might not listen, particularly if you live in an intellectual wasteland like Washington State, but your conscience will be intact, and you and I can share a beer and a hearty laugh together when the bastards are voted out.

Yours,

Most Ethical Congress Ever

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has vowed to bring the Obama-Waxman-Markey (OWM) anti-global warming cap-and-trade energy bill to the floor for a final vote Friday, which raises an interesting question: How much money will Pelosi make if the measure becomes law, as seems quite likely?

Pelosi, of course, is not the only member of Congress to own significant shares of energy companies. Senators and representatives from all over the country do, not just the “oilies” from energy states like Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

But as House Speaker, Pelosi’s ownership of an unknown number of shares in the Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE) valued at between $15,000 and $50,000, may deserve particular attention.

I don’t blame people for speculating in the stock market, but when you’re Speaker of the House and you have deep influence over how federal dollars get spent, it’s not really speculation, is it?

Just remember this next time the Botoxic Avenger makes another stupid climate change commercial:
