Inspector General Finds “NOAA Climategate Emails Warrant Further Investigation”
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT (Anthony Watts) ^ | February 24, 2011 | Senator Inhofe Press Release

Posted on 02/25/2011 3:19:20 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Washington, D.C.–Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, released the following findings from the investigation by the Commerce Department’s Inspector General on emails from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) related to the “climategate” scandal.

--SNIP--

Emails ‘Warrant Further Investigation’

“We found eight emails which, in our judgment, warranted further examination to clarify any possible issues involving the scientific integrity of particular NOAA scientists or NOAA’s data. As a result, we conducted interviews with the relevant NOAA scientists regarding these eight emails, and have summarized their responses and explanations in the enclosure.”

Potential Breach of NOAA Contracting

“In addition to the foregoing, we also found two other emails that raised questions, one regarding a 2002 contract NOAA awarded to the CRU…”

“This email, dated June 24, 2003, captioned ‘NOAA Funding,’ was sent by a visiting fellow at CRU, a NOAA contractor, to another researcher (affiliated with a research institution in Vietnam) stating the following:

‘NOAA want[s] to give us more money for the El Nino work with IGCN [Indochina Global Change Network). How much do we have left from the last budget? I reckon most has been spent but we need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip [name omitted] didn’t make and also thec fees/equipment/computer money we haven’t spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious. . .'

Climategate may have been whitewashed by academic authorities in the UK but on this side of the Atlantic it may get some objective scrutiny by the IG. Inhofe is relentless.

The commerce department issued a report saying that there was nothing at all wrong and that their investigations shown everyone involved were saintly and god like... move on... nothing to see here.

We have the absolute worst, most corrupt, incapable of telling the truth government ever known to man... and yes... I will say it... obama is as bad as hitler... he just can't get away with what hitler got away with... yet. obamao feels that if he can help to destroy Israel... he will have surpassed hitler. Can anyone deny that obama wants Israel gone... wants to destroy our economy... wants to remove our Super Power Status... sides with islam? I didn't think so.

Can I take a moment to correct “as bad as Hitler” - to this “is worse than Hitler”. This is much better Hitler did not take as much money, did not ruin his country financially until after he was dead. Hitler did unite various german speaking people whom were separated by WWI.

I do know that Hitler’s actions caused millions of deaths and destruction. Hitler caused mounting costs in the millions for many countries.

Odumbo on the other hand has divided the US so much that people are fighting over the issue of pensions and healthcare, limiting union bargaining rights and the potential for layoffs that will escalate throughout one state. Odumbo has ran up a debt of 5 trillion dollars in 2 years and has demanded repeatedly the nations spending ceiling increased to to now in excess of 15 Trillion.

Odumbo’s fiscal travesty, WWIII could actually be an economic castrophe the shots the the economic stability of every nation throughout the world because of the election of the believed Shia 12th Imam in the person Barack Hussein O Ba Ma ( Blessed of Hussein and He (Allah) is with us are all what Obama means to the Shia Muslim and the sect of the 12ers, radical Shia Muslim leadership based in Iran).

Glad you added that qualifier.

What History are you reading?

This is much better Hitler did not take as much money, did not ruin his country financially until after he was dead.


He borrowed so much he had to invade other countries to find financial resources. Ask the German business men what the spending was like.

Hitler did unite various german speaking people


He was all about division. Sorted out the Jews pretty quickly, and a lot of other groups. Hated the french and Russians.

“Hated the french and Russians.”

Does that put him in with the majority?
