  1. Would this qualify as “muzzling” scientists, even if they are muzzling themselves so as to avoid answering anything but fawning, softball questions?

  2. Only true devoties and worshippers of Gaia allowed to paris for the big getogether of the worlds tyrants,despots and dictators and no doupt Al Gore and Robert Kennedy Jr as well as the various hollywood eco-freaks(John Travolta,Larie David,Etc)and Prince Chucky and the usial groups of eco-freaks(Greenpeace,Sierra Club,EDF,Etc)coming in their leers and gulfstreams and chuafefed there in 7 MPG limos stay in some hotels use countless kilowatt hours of electricity and million of gallons of water(Drinking,Bathing Using the John)all to come up with more regulations and maybe another treaty

  3. The committee’s ranking Democrat, has sharply criticized Smith’s requests.-
    Translation-
    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) won’t give Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) the research documents he subpoenaed,
    Because they need another year to professionally wipe all server computer hard drives,
    15 year pause emails, and any critical satellite data.
    Please give them more time…

  4. Congress qualified for contempt long ago. Like at least most, probably all legislatures in the first world.

  5. Anyone who claims to be objective and data-based needs to look at how the massive revision of sea surface temperatures that eliminated The Pause was done. They substituted the best data (buoys designed and calibrated to accurately take measurements of ocean condition) for poorer quality data (temps from ships for which there is no quality control). They also extended land based temps (known to be warmer) into the SST. The reasoning they gave was to make the data align with historic ship-based data. IMO opinion they should have graphed both sets (buoy and ship) as well as satellite and weather balloon data. From my reading, what you’d find is that the buoy data is very similar to the satellite and weather balloons….there is a pause in warming. Clearly the buoy data is the correct version so the justification for the massive revision is very weak.
    How they changed the data is clear, why is not. Anyone truly objective and data-based should ask themselves: if the other side radically changed data (by using poorer quality data that increased the divergence with other data sets) to get rid of a politically inconvenient trend, would they accept it? It’s one of those events that separates the science people from activists and political partisans.
    * Conversely, climate researchers have had no qualms revising historic land temperatures downwards to increase the slope of the line of global warming. Odd that revisions only ever increase the warming.

  6. With the Climate Change/Global Warming Conference soon to start, nothing will happen.
    Roseberry, you are right. “Would this qualify as “muzzling” scientists, even if they are muzzling themselves so as to avoid answering anything but fawning, softball questions?” These people have to get all the money before being exposed. “What difference does that matter now” Quote of H. Clinton. They might get a few years in jail – yet they will be rich when they get out.
    They will use any information – true or false – to get their followers to climb on board, and those of us who not bow down to the new religion will be ridiculed .. I am proud to be a denier of this false religion.
    In Canada, it was Prime Minister Harper that signed the document saying that all oil use will cease to exist by the end of century. (Though I think he hoped that by then this “religion” will be proven false and we were lied to by the “scientists.”)
    With the present Prime Minister Just-in $$True-dough$$ and all Provincial leaders … all (perhaps not Saskatchewan)Premiers are worshipers of Climate Change/Global Warming (for taxation purposes)and the free trip … attending conference (invited by Just-in).
    We are in store of Ontario enviroMENTAL policies right across Canada. Be interesting to see all the (heavily subsidized) wind generators and solar panels across the country. (In Canada we have heavily forested/farming areas that absorb “carbon” and all the “carbon” released by industry, man and all breathing creatures, are absorbed by trees and plants.)

  7. The thing I find most fascinating about Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming(AKA man made climate change)
    Is the preponderance of policy based evidence manufacturing.
    This highlights just how corrupt our bureaucracies are.
    CAGW.. created, promoted and protected (from investigation) by our civil servants.
    Oddly most of the agencies heavily involved, came into being to provide science based policy.
    After the past mass hysterias which caught govt flatfooted and foolish.
    Good enough for government.
