Doesn’t look like they got the memo.

“Who do you trust more? A “scientist”, a used car salesman, or a journalist?”

A used car salesman.

I am sorry, I should have been more specific. I did not mean science as a field, but the specific practitioners of climatology who are tarnishing the reputations of those who do their jobs with integrity and objectivity.

These 42 so called scientists need to be exposed and their methods brought to light.

A lot of sheep out there. They want to be ruled.

Well, I’m not going into the cattle pen with them.

You are right. And I totally agree with you - but my point was it doesn't take many bad apples to spoil the barrel.

Alarmist scientists - if they're not exposed by the majority - will bring down the profession - - down to the point where people like me will make 'trust' jokes - "who can you trust more - used car salesmen, journalists, or scientists?"

I'll see your Hopenhagen and raise you a Farfrompuken

BWWWHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Such a target rich buffoon.

One one hand I want to cry because of the SOB & what It is doing & done.
While on the other kiss 'em for being the ideal imbecile for the times.

A type of schizophrenia, I 'spose. LOL

The same is true of Islamic supremacist rhetoric (imperialist, jihadist, segregationist). Until the "good" speak out against the "bad", the group is tarnished as a whole. Silence can be deafening.

In the case of the Global Warming Scare, there HAVE been scientists who challenged the findings. THOUSANDS of them. They faced blacklisting and ridicule ("flat Earther" and "denier!").

The problem is that those who FAVOR such protectionist social agendas as the Global Climate Control Carbon Credit scam are unwilling to say "we may not need to do this, the numbers don't bear out that any of what is being warned is genuine... it is pure hysteria and we are relieved that the Earth is safe".

That’s because the law will come down harder on a dishonest used car salesman.

So, yes, there should be an objective forensic examination of the UEA CRU computers -- but the British government is so invested in AGW that this scandal is hardly being reported there. The chance of an honest investigation is minimal.

Our government funds some of their research. The British socialists may be unwilling to investigate this culture of corruption but our own financial stake permits us recourse.

Just as international Nigerian banking scams can be prosecuted on both ends of the wire.

Well, to truly understand Al Gore Junior’s career path, we have to look back on Pappy Gore. He was ALSO a Tennessee Senator.

Albert Gore Sr. feels he missed his chance at the White House when his fellow Tennessee Senator, Estes Kefauver, got the VP nod in the mid-1950s (he was also seeking the White House). Among the issues that brought Kefauver to prominence was corrupting influences that were leading to post-war juvenile delinquency. He held Congressional investigations into comic books that specifically held Bill Gaines’ EC Comics (Tales From The Crypt...) among their targets.

I've heard that Al Gore Junior planned to flee to Canada in the Vietnam War and that his father knew it would make things tough for him politically and also for his son. Al Gore Junior ended up as a journalist who reportedly had an escort while in Vietnam.

Gore Junior smoked the dope in college and bummed around. He wound up in the Senate taking his father's seat.

In the mid-1980s, he and his wife ran to the “right” by holding congressional hearings into the corrupting influence of evil rock and roll. John Denver pointed out that even Rocky Mountain High had been called a drug song by some but the panel said “we like YOUR music...”.

By 1988, Al Gore Junior was bringing up Willie Horton in his primary campaign against Michael Dukakis.

The man has been an opportunist scammer his whole life.

I agree with everything you've written here. One of the reason's we "do good" by keeping pressure on Muslims is to provide cover for the good Muslims when they do speak out. Because you're right - if good Muslims don't stand up they'll be painted with the same brush as the jihadist terrorists.... as they should be.

Technically, yes, but realistically by whom? The Obama DOJ? Don't hold your breath.

BTW, an FOI request can be filed in Britain by virtually anyone in the world; it's not limited to UK citizens. And we've seen how those requests were handled.

Inhofe needs to keep beating the drum, regardless of the results/non-results. The best hope is to keep this scandal in the news, even on the peripheral level to which the MSM has reduced it.

[browardchad]

I think I lost some brain cells clicking on that.

Bernie Madoff got life in prison for his scandal. What is Al Gore on the hook for with his investors?
