"The science is settled," we've been told for decades by zealous
proponents of manmade global warming hysteria. Thanks to an
earth-shaking hacking scandal across the pond, we now have mountains of
documents from the world's leading global warming advocacy center that
show the science is about as settled as a southeast Asian tsunami. You
won't be surprised by the Obama administration's response to
Climategate.
With pursed lips and closed eyes and ears, the White House is clinging to the old eco-mantra: The science is settled.
Never
mind all the devastating new information about data manipulation,
intimidation and cult-like coverups to "hide the decline" in global
temperatures over the last half-century, they say. The science is settled.
Never mind what The Atlantic's Clive Crook, after wading through the
climate science e-mail files of the U.K.'s Climatic Research Unit at
the University of East Anglia, called the overpowering "stink of
intellectual corruption" -- combined with mafia-like suppression of
dissent, suppression of evidence and methods, and "plain statistical
incompetence" exposed by the document trove. The science is settled.
Never
mind the expedient disappearance of mounds of raw weather station data
that dissenting scientists were seeking through freedom of information
requests from the Climatic Research Unit. The science is settled.
