Obama Admin Fired Top Scientist to Advance Climate Change Plans
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 12/20/16 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 12/20/2016 3:09:35 PM PST by Enlightened1

A new congressional investigation has determined that the Obama administration fired a top scientist and intimidated staff at the Department of Energy in order to further its climate change agenda, according to a new report that alleges the administration ordered top officials to obstruct Congress in order to forward this agenda.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas), chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, released a wide-ranging report on Tuesday that shows how senior Obama administration officials retaliated against a leading scientist and plotted ways to block a congressional inquiry surrounding key research into the impact of radiation.

A top DoE scientist who liaised with Congress on the matter was fired by the Obama administration for being too forthright with lawmakers, according to the report, which provides an in-depth look at the White House’s efforts to ensure senior staffers toe the administration’s line.

The report also provides evidence that the Obama administration worked to kill legislation in order to ensure that it could receive full funding for its own hotly contested climate change agenda.

The report additionally discovered efforts by the Obama administration to censor the information given to Congress, interfering with the body’s ability to perform critical oversight work.

“Instead of providing the type of scientific information needed by Congress to legislate effectively, senior departmental officials sought to hide information, lobbied against legislation, and retaliated against a scientist for being forthcoming,” Smith said in a statement. “In this staff report based on lengthy record before the committee, much has been revealed about how senior level agency officials under the Obama administration retaliated against a scientist who did not follow the party line.”

It’s time for Bozo and his gay band of incompetents to face the swift justice of the sword.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Same crap they pulled with Inspector General Gerald Walpin.

... the Obama administration fired a top scientist and intimidated staff ...

I've got news. It wasn't "the Obama administration". It was a living, breathing, malicious law-breaker with a name and an official government position who deserves to be identified and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Hopefully, Secretary Perry will be up to the task.

Is anyone really surprised that the scam artists would do “anything” to protect their scam?

Weakening magnetics fields would mean more higher energy charged particles would be entering the earths atmosphere. The charged particles would create ion trails with accompanying water vapor condensation (Like in cloud chambers!) which would increase cloud cover to provide a overall cooling trend. Not only is the earth’s field about to “zero out” then flip polarity. (Unprecedented in human history!) The sun’s field is at a lull so even more charged particles will get in! We are actually protected from high energy charged particles from the sun and galactic sources by our field, the sun, Jupiter & Saturn magnetic fields. I don’t know what Jupiter & Saturn’s fields are doing right now , but I am sure the go through times maximum & minimum strength. It would be “bad” if they “sync” with the earth & sun right now. “Bad” in the sense of a major spike in cancers, etc. I doubt if it would be something like civilization ending but it could mean a minor Ice Age I guess which would be really bad! Also as the solar system rotates around the galactic rim (roughly 200 million years... I think I remember that right!) we go through patches of higher the normal charged particle radiation density, some researchers say these correlate strongly with known severe glaciation.

I actually think there is evidence we are entering something like a “”Little Ice Age” period. (The time period that Mann tried to hide!). It lasted I think 400 hundred years, with northern European cold winters, short growing seasons with famine disease like the “Black Plague”. Not a fun time of human history!

Go read the book “The Chilling Stars” written by a Danish professor who heads a climate research group in Denmark & CERN. He is not popular with the global warming crowd!

Secretary Perry will relish the task.

Expose the lying vermin. Close the offending agency. Bye bye bye.

The objective is not control of the sun but rather control of the masses through deception. The question is: How do less-than-specks in Congress plan to control the masses? A: In part, by pretending to have a plan to control the sun.

We know that man-made Globull warming schemes for various purposes other than concern for the environment exist. I am including a link to a study that our tax dollars paid for - I assume that there is a classified version somewhere.

Regarding the debate on human activity on climate change, this report states: “Competing evidence suggests that climate change can occur regardless of human activity as seen in climate events that happened prior to modern society”.

There is evidence that there may have been as many as 8 rapid cooling episodes in the past 730,000 years. One such event happened 8,200 years ago and conditions were similar to the phase we are in today. There were severe winter in Europe, and glaciers advanced, rivers froze, and agricultural lands became less productive. Lasted about 100 years.

There is a very interesting discussion of the various cooling cycles including the more recent Little Ice Age, possible impacts on various regions of the world, as well as national security implications. The report presents a plausible scenario - not necessarily the most likely.

One of my guiding mottos has always been prepare for the worst and pray for the best. So for those who might want to ponder some additional preparations for colder climate conditions the link might be of interest.

Pretending to have a plan to control the sun. Like the Mayan priests? Sacrifices to Earth Mother Goddess Gaia? Oh that’s right, we already have abortion as sacrifices to Moloch, so there has to be something in addition.

Thanks. That’s about what I figured.

And ‘deception’ is the key word.
