WASHINGTON – House Republicans pointed to controversial e-mails leaked from climate scientists and said it was evidence of corruption. Top administration scientists looking at the same thing found no such sign, saying it doesn't change the fact that the world is warming.
The e-mails from a British university's climate center were obtained by computer hackers and posted online about two weeks ago. Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent, and conservative bloggers are dubbing it "Climategate."
In the first Capitol Hill airing of the issue, House Republicans Wednesday read excerpts from at least eight of the e-mails, saying they showed the world needs to re-examine experts' claims that the science on warming is settled. One e-mail from 2003 was by John Holdren, then of Harvard University and now the president's science adviser.
The exploding controversy led Phil Jones to step aside as head of the climate research unit at the University of East Anglia, the source of the e-mail exchanges. The university is investigating the matter. Penn State University also is looking into e-mails by its own researcher, Michael Mann. House Republicans asked for a separate hearing or investigation into the issue, but were rebuffed by Democrats.
"These e-mails show a pattern of suppression, manipulation and secrecy that was inspired by ideology, condescension and profit," said U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.

What I said is that water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.
Exactly... Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas...I guess we just have to wait until the EPA figures out how to regulate/capture it. /s
I haven’t read the whole thing, but I’m pretty sure you will find something along those lines in the Clean Water Reclaimation Act of 2009. /s(?)

Yep, Global Warming is here to stay. /sarc
There will be civil unrest if it doesn snow in Houston tomorrow!
Relax, it’s a dry heat.
Wanna bet the white house is spending more on researching ways to prosecute the hackers than verifying scientific fraud?
Prosecute everyone of these shysters and leave the hackers alone!

Sen. James Inhofe -R Oklahoma
yes thank you.
Maybe he should run for President. He’s got some spine.
Our other Senator is POTUS material....Sen. Tom Coburn.
*sigh*
More of exactly the same problem.
"Scientists" asserting what they so desperately WANT to be true, but with no empirical evidence behind it.
When it is now as clear as the sun in the sky that much of (most of?) the climate data are unreliable, contradictory, misinterpreted, corrupted, manipulated, simply made up or any combination of these, it's eye-rollingly absurd that ANY scientist worthy of the title would confidently make such statements.
Again, that ain't science, amigo. It's advocacy. It's propaganda. It's a monumental scam.
Congress ought to look into the fraudulent use of taxpayer grants to these enviro-cultists. Rush read an email that clearly shows that they were worried that their expensive junkets would expose their misuse of government funding.

Just more RAT piggies (go with it) suckin’ up to the government teats.
Oh now that is juicy!
When McIntyre and McKitrick fed these random data into the Mann procedure, out popped a hockey stick shape!
++++++++++++++++
Well looky there!
Or as somebody has said, it’s data rape.
+++++++++++++++
Or as somebody else sorta said: “It’s the raw data stupid.”
How can libs hold onto their position knowing these guys DUMPED the raw data. It’s just shocking what our RAT ‘friends’ are going to have to try to defend.
“Republican Congressmen need to get real scientists to ask questions for them, and do the cross examinations of the 0 Organization’s scientists.”
++++++++++++++++
Notice not a demonRAT anywhere in sight? BWAAAAAAAHAHA...where you guys and girls hiding out on this topic?? HMMMMMMMMMM?? Hopin’ it’ll go away...??
to keep it simple it is fraud.
It is Bernie Madoff in an academic gown
