Former Energy Department Undersecretary Steven Koonin told The Wall Street Journal Monday that bureaucrats within former President Barack Obama’s administration spun scientific data to manipulate public opinion.

The AGW scam was the single biggest vehicle for ‘spreading the wealth around’ for leftists, and now it’s *poof*. Of course they’re going to protest that gravy train derailment that may force them into their parents’ basement.

Something doesn’t add up here — why would a member of the Obamanoid administration fess up to a deliberate falsification campaign?

“What they forgot to tell you, and you don’t know until you read all the way into the fine print is that it actually decreased in the decades before that,”

Cherry picking data and omission of mitigating facts are tools leftists use to push the hysteria and advocate for government "fixes". Fixes being the euphemism for total control over individuals living their life.

And yet, the next time the Dems are in control of the White House and push propaganda Climate Change statistics, the MSM will write about them as if they are true and fact based.

And notice they never attack commercial airliners for all the carbon they dump in the atmosphere. Or China and India. Only the white peasants driving 8-cylinders can be responsible.

“Something doesn’t add up here — why would a member of the Obamanoid administration fess up to a deliberate falsification campaign?”

Steve Koonin was never really onboard with the 0bama policies. He’s been trying to get attention for years about false declarations being made about global warming:

The odd question is why he was ever a member of the 0bama administration in the first place.
