Climate bombshell: NASA and the media knew of temperature data issues nearly three years ago

The nature of deception and fraud are such that it continues, and escalates, until it’s exposed. When they were able to fudge on a couple temperature readings and nothing happened then the practice spread. And it continued to spread from area to area until the whole was contaminated.

I become more convinced with each passing day that some highly-placed person within the climate research community had a conscience, just couldn't live with the fraud and deception any longer, and secretly compiled and released the whole set of e-mails so that the people would finally come to learn about the whole sordid mess.

I am sure there was a concerted effort by the bureaucrats at NASA to seize upon global warming research as their next cash cow.

Ding! Ding! Ding Ding! We have a Winner! Always follow the Benjamins.

[Frantzie]

Neat. What a great memory.

Neil also held records for the X-15. The X-15 set the world’s unoffical speed and altitude records of 4,520 mph and 354,200 feet. Most people do not remember that Neil was a Navy pilot with 78 combat missions in Korea.

Or better yet, “I have to how many millions and spend how many lifetimes in jail for stupidity? I did not even know being stupid was illegal! Would it help if I apologized to the millions of small children who have had nightmares and chronic emotional stress because of my stupidity?”

[Frantzie]

Yup. NASA at funding time would always say - there is water on the moon or Mars.

More media malpractice?

Robert Goddard’s grave is awfully windy lately...

My Mom’s uncle used to work on Goddard’s farm, tending his horses in the 20’s and 30’s and 40’s, back that era. Our family on that side was friends with the Goddards, it got my granddfather into his rest home free in Worcestor. Great Philanthropist.

“These emails, obtained by Christopher Horner, also show that the NASA GISS dataset was not independent of CRU data. “

Ping of definite interest. So yes, there has been collusion on temperature data supposedly “separately maintained.”

These two repositories were HEAVILY relied upon among global warming scientists and both are not grossly suspect.

[mewzilla]

More like aiding and abetting.

"Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity."

"NASA sickens me. They have disgraced the names of brave astronauts like Gus Grissom. Shut NASA down."

Actually, these guys have even disgraced the name of Werner von Braun. Von Braun may have been a Nazi, but I'm not aware that he ever faked his data.

PING!!

Eisenhower was wrong. The solitary inventor is still the engine for innovation. Corporate R&D spends a lot of money to bring the innovations of those inventors to final fruition, but small business is still the spark plug.

RICO....

[Conan the Librarian]

If the stories are true, he did fake data. He played the Nazis off of the Abwehr, Hitler off of Himmler, the wehrmacht off the SS and anyone else he could to get funding.

There are also stories of him making things not work quite right hoping the war would end before they perfected the rocket.

Are these true? I don’t know, but, he did seem to not care too much for the Hitlerites.

He is, as far as I know, the only Nazi to have a Arena named after him. Huntsville Al. has one.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

You are missing the point. Look at how much money is being wasted, and what a corrupting influence it is on so-called “climate science.”

[Tzimisce]

More settled science.

Listen to the rest of the Eisenhower quote. It describes what is happening -- that so-called "climate scientists" have their grants, want to keep them coming, and have an enormous and pathological effect on public policy.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
