I wish all our bright politicians were as observant.
Speaking of “bright politicians”, I just came across this article from the UK Telegraph:
The Gleick affair is further proof of the warmists’ endless credulity. Dr Peter Gleick provides more evidence that the supporters of the Cause will stop at nothing.
“Global temperatures have signally failed to rise as the computer models, upon which the whole scare was based, said they should. And an endless succession of scandals has engulfed the senior scientists who did more than anyone else to promote the scare. These began with the exposure of the notorious “hockey stick” graph and then the Climategate emails which showed how they fiddled their data and stopped at nothing to discredit anyone who challenged what they called “the Cause”. The scandals continued with the revelations that much of the work of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the supreme champion of the Cause - had not been based on science at all but on scare stories dreamed up by environmental activists. “
I forgot to include the excerpt relating to the “bright politicians” in the UK in my previous post:
“Last week, The Sunday Telegraph reported that, as part of Britain’s overseas aid budget, the Department for International Development is well on the way to spending £1.5 billion on a mass of climate-related projects across the world. These range from helping Indian farmers to irrigate their fields with foot-powered pumps rather than diesel-fuelled ones, to preventing the authority of Kenyan “rainmakers” from being undermined by the onset of “extreme weather events”.
The book on Obama's hoax is yet to be written.
