EPA rejects Inhofe's call for delay on finding

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe called for a delay Wednesday on a greenhouse gas endangerment finding in light of allegedly stolen e-mails the Oklahoma Republican says show leading scientists apparently manipulated climate change data.

Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson declined Inhofe's request.

"At this point, I have seen nothing that indicates the scientists out there have said that they've changed their consensus," Jackson said.

"These e-mails certainly may show some poor manners, maybe more. I am not a lawyer, and it is not my job to judge that. But what we have to constantly be looking at is the science, and whether there is any information in the e-mails, or anywhere else, that changes the science."

C3: Satellite Update: Global Cooling Trend Continues At -1.3°F Per Century Rate; Climate Models & IPCC "Experts" Failed To Predict

The UAH satellite temperatures for November 2009 have been announced and it jumped to the 0.50°C temperature anomaly point after a decline in October 2009. The full eight year trend continues negative as extended cooling has made its impact felt despite the accelerated global warming predictions of climate models.

Roger L. Simon » Climategate – it ain’t just about the weather

Climategate is about a lot more than climate. It’s about science and its relationship to politics and profit, the academy, the state and, perhaps most importantly, information control. The manner through which we learn (or thought we did) important knowledge about key aspects of our existence, the way things are hidden, has been exposed in this one instance like the Wizard of Oz.

It’s obvious similar methods of control apply to many other information sources in our society. That is why Barbara Boxer is in shrill blaming-the-messenger mode, insisting that any Congressional investigation of Climategate would target the nefarious “hacker.” She realizes a great unraveling could come from this. So do to the global bureaucrats at the UN and the EU as they prepare for the Copenhagen conference. It is also why the mainstream media was so slow to report the East Anglia CRU emails and documents. They know that if you begin to report these things, you have to report on a lot of other things they have so scrupulously chosen to avoid.

That is why Climategate is so important. It is the Watergate of our times that has, if anything, more ramifications than the original, which largely affected just Richard Nixon and his immediate coterie.

I'm fixing to say I told you so

The trio of treachery, science, academia and our own government, have convinced a lot of people that the burning of fossil fuel is destroying the earth, which is simply not true.
