To the editor:

What would happen if a pharmaceutical scientist went back and changed his original, 18 year old data? You just don’t do this. There would be accusations of fraud. Scientists in the real world don’t just go back and change original data and if they did they would have to be totally accountable in why they did it, how they did it and who did it. The lame stream media would go nuts. 60 Minutes would do two hours.

And then what would happen if this pharmaceutical scientist was subpoenaed by a Congressional investigation and he refused to comply? He’d soon be in jail. But this is exactly what global warming scientists at the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration have done.

They altered old data because it did not support the global warming hoax-that was the real reason. The reason NOAA gave was that the fudge factors du jour are different than the fudge factors that were in use 18 years ago. They refused to comply with the subpoena because it was necessary to “protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussion.” Really? Apparently, global warming science must be conducted in secret and global warming “scientists” must never be held accountable.

And then what would happen if this pharmaceutiacal scientist made claims that turned out to be the opposite of the real results? Remember 2005 when global warmers claimed that hurricanes would increase in number but instead the real number of hurricanes in the last 10 years (hitting the continental U.S.) has been less than one-third of normal. Were any of these “scientists” held accountable for these bogus claims?

In 2009 a whistleblower at The Climate Reasearch Unit in East Anglica (the epicenter of the global warming hoax) turned over thousands of emails to WikiLeaks. The Climategate emails described “tricks” that the “scientists” used in publishing their findings. There were emails of “scientists” conspiring to use a different peer review process to keep non-global warmers from getting published. And most damaging, some “scientists” told others to conceal their raw data and if they were subject to a Freedom of Information lawsuit, they should delete their data and emails. In the real world, when scientists conspire to conceal data, they are discredited and fired or even held criminally liable. But global warming “scientists” are not held accountable.

Billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on government grants to support “scientists”who are not held accountable. Trillion of dollars are being needlessly spent on energy and environmental policies based on the results of “scientists”who will never be held accountable. Our freedoms are being sacrificed based on claims of people who will never be held accountable.
