The Day for Disclosure of Doctored Democratic Data
Maybe those climatologists who had predicted ever-increasing temperatures wouldn’t be puzzled by the failure of global temperatures to keep rising had they not relied on doctored data. When someone hacked into “a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK [and had] the data published on line“, we learned that some scientists hid information which conflicted with their conclusions:
The director of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit confirmed that the e-mails are genuine — and Australian publication Investigate and the Australian Herald-Sun report that those e-mails expose a conspiracy to hide detrimental information from the public that argues against global warming
Wonder what the thinking man’s thinking man has to say about this fraud.
You can almost bet that global warming alarmists will focus on the hacking. I do agree with Michelle on this one, “The alleged hackers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” But, that’s not the only issue here.
And this isn’t the only doctored data disclosed today. We learn the price tag of the Reid Health Care Bill is higher than originally advertised:
Democrats put the price tag of the 2,074-page measure at $979 billion, higher than the $849 billion figure they had cited Wednesday as the cost of expanding coverage to 31 million who now lack insurance. Republicans calculated it at more like $1.5 trillion over a decade, and said even that was understated because Reid decided to delay implementation of some of the bill’s main features until 2014.
And at a mere $849 billion, the bill was supposed to have slashed the deficit by $127 billion over ten years. But, now we’ve got a $130 billion increase in the program’s cost, and yet “Officially, the Congressional Budget Office said the measure would reduce deficits by $130 billion over the next decade with probable small reductions in the 10 years that follow”. Something smells fishy here. We see a huge spike in a bill’s cost and an increase in its savings.
No wonder many on the right are skeptical of the Democrats’ numbers.

On the fiscal thing… What are the Democrats thinking? I can’t believe how unreal these people are.
Obama’s banana-republic spending, deficits and other policies are already destroying the U.S. dollar, pissing off the whole world which up to now has been trading in USD and proudly holding USD as a reserve currency. When the dollar is ruined and the world cuts us loose, oil will be $200 and everything in Walmart will cost four times as much. That’s the future, under Obama’s policies… and all the Democrats can do is dream about spending more, creating the Moocher’s Paradise. Truly they are fiddling, while Rome burns.

The guy at the end of this ad is cute:

The guy at the beginning of it isn’t, but the ad relevant and worth watching, because it has to do with the Dems’ awful fiscal decisions.

Remember, though, the ass hat who smuggled something past security and onto a Southwest plane? He wound up getting a job and a slap on the wrist (if that, I can’t recall details) out of it.

If a corporation put out a prospectus or annual report as equally full of errors, there’d be multiple felony prosecutions and severe jail-time.

Ted, I’m totally floored that Bernie Madoff is going to jail and not to the WH.

I have been following the “hack” story via Andrew Bolt’s blog. There are some readers who believe that this was not the work of hackers but an inside job.
Whilst I am being cautiously optimistic about the content of the emails and other data, and how it really shows how much of a scam is the global warming/climate change scenario, I am remaining on the fence about all of this, until it can be verified as genuine.
Now my guess here is that University of East Anglia has claimed it was a hack job in order to throw people off the real scent. In other words, I tend to agree that this was an inside job – someone had been keeping email records and other data, and for whatever reason has chosen now to upload that information and to be a whistle blower.
Keep an eye on this story.
