Climategate: White House Involvement in Scandal Will Make It Harder for MSM to Ignore

Yesterday Brian Williams delivered an NBC Nightly News report about President Obama attending the Copenhagen global warming summit. Guess what hot topic was left untouched? If you had guessed Climategate you would have been correct. Not only Williams but also the other TV networks, with the exception of FOX News, have completely ignored what is considered to be the biggest scientific scandal in history. However, new Climategate revelations made by the Canada Free Press about a White House connection to the scandal will soon make it much more difficult (and ridiculous) for the networks to ignore.

Canada Free Press editor Judi McLeod and Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball reveal the involvement of White House Science Czar John Holdren (photo) in the Climategate Scandal. The picture presented of Holdren is not a pretty one:

Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as “Climategate”.

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

Sadly. Once again we see nothing but silence from the L/MSM other then a few early mentions of what is going on, for one ABC that actually surprised me a bit. Their reporter outlined what we had read the first day or so at FR, on the issue.
I believe we shall see them in lock down on the issue. The WH press conference with Gibbs the fibs should have been swamped with questions over this issue.... but no.... just the usual doe eyed looks and controlled laughter and mostly idiotic questions for Gibbs the fib.

Brian Williams = NBC News = owned by slimy General Eletric. GE also owns MSNBC and CNBC and Universal Studios.

Are any Freepers doing the sweat equity and going through the email dump that Rush or others have?

[RatsDawg]

He also said we had a drill bit that wouldn’t melt at those temperatures.

[TV Dinners]

Sorry... but it is already well covered up....

Just speaking with the ignorants in my family over the Thanksgiving Holiday tells me that...

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

I know Quinn wants to see this one.

I agree with fatrat. What is the connection here to Holdren? I am quite open to believing that the administration is involved in many nefarious ways, but it seems like Tim Ball is just making a vague, unverifiable statement. We will see if anything further comes of it.

I don't think the senate is going to pass crap and trade, but the SCOTUS, in a mindless 5-4 vote, ruled that the EPA has to regulate CO2.

Honestly, that is the scariest thing that has happened since this idiot has been voted in. The idea of a couple of bureaucrats having the ability to completely take over all of energy and industry scares the hell out of me.

We ARE doomed as a great nation.

Responding to self: After more reading, I found the Soon-Baliunas criticisms by Holdren, and etc. It takes a huge amount of time to read all this stuff! Thank goodness for people like Watts and McIntyre and many others who know what's going on here.

At the time Holdren was Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy & Director

How could Lt. J. "Flapjack" Kerry possibly be involved? Oh...wait!

More popcorn!!!

Holdren's politically motivated slander against two apparently reputable scientists is despicable. This is not the way that a genuine scientist engages a scientific debate. Indeed, the way that you are supposed to engage a debate such as this is not to pick sides, which Holdren does, but to make better arguments, or, and this is very important, do your own work to get more and better data.

From Wiki: Sallie Baliunas is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences Division and formerly Deputy Director of the Mount Wilson Observatory. Baliunas received her M.A. (1975) and Ph.D. (1980) degrees in Astrophysics from Harvard University.

Willie Wei-Hock Soon (born 1966) is an astrophysicist at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Soon’s honors include a 1989 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Graduate Scholastic Award and a Rockwell Dennis Hunt Scholastic Award from the University of Southern California for “the most representative Ph.D. research thesis” of 1991. In 2003, he was invited to testify to the United States Senate and was later recognized, with a monetary award, for “detailed scholarship on biogeological and climatic change over the past 1000 years” by the Smithsonian Institution.

They both have fine reputations, and scientists should be outraged that Holdren would do this.

Thanks, that is the most coherent article on climategate i have read.

More encouraging news:

My nephew is a computer science major at a typically liberal university. When I mentioned to him the exposure of the fake, massaged computer programs, he told me that “everyone already knew it” - at least among his professors.

This is encouraging because it tells me that even if the leftmedia wants to continue to suppress this info, the word is out among people who have a lot of ability to spread the truth.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

There were somewhere between 1.5 - 2.0 Million people on the Mall on 9/12. The MSM, if they reported it at all, said there were only 50,000 people. We need someone on the inside of the MSM with emails showing the blatant propaganda which passes for news these days. The MSM needs to be destroyed, then built back up with safeguards against the editorial Iron Curtain we currently have.

I pray you're correct. I fear that most don't really care if climate change exists or doesn't. I think they see the new 'green economy' as an equivalent to the dot com days except we'll all be forced by the government to buy new energy star appliances and light bulbs etc. etc. enriching their liberal allies like GE and Dr. Albert Gore.

“
The scandal that dare not speak its name...on the TV networks.
“

Obama better take a sizeable fig leaf with him when he goes to Copenhagen.

Because when Russia, China and India line up and say they aren’t going
along with the global-warming shakedown scheme...
Obama is gonna’ need that fig leaf.

[randita]

Correct. Follow the money and you’ll uncover the reason.
