Inhofe Welcomes OIG Response on Monnett Investigation
"I greatly appreciate Acting Inspector General Kendall's response to my inquiry, which sheds additional light on the OIG's ongoing investigation into Dr. Monnett's conduct," Senator Inhofe said. "Her letter contains crucial revelations. As she states, allegations against Dr. Monnett came from 'a seasoned, career Department of the Interior employee' and that 'acts of scientific misconduct may have been committed by one or more DOI employees.'

"This response is striking not only because it makes clear that these allegations came from within the Obama Administration, but also because it appears that the IG investigation may be centered on scientific misconduct rather than only the procurement issues which were cited by BOEMRE as the reason for Dr. Monnett's suspension.

If all of this were really about the science, then climate “scientists” would be aggressively working to falsify accepted hypotheses, challenge conventional knowledge, and test the rigor of their models—not toadying up to politicized government funding agencies that hand out taxpayer-funded research money like candy.

Far from resembling Gore’s smear of narrow-minded segregationists, climate change skeptics have demonstrated abundant open-mindedness and courage in their willingness to confront institutionalized wrongheadedness and public acceptance of falsehoods. These qualities suggest that, if right, global warming skeptics will someday be seen as this generation’s moral heroes.

NIPCC, Gleick, heads, sand, water bottles, and all that | Watts Up With That?
Gleick’s head in the sand choices seem to be selective, for example, he’s written a book titled Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water. Gleick argues against bottled water on the grounds of it being environmentally unsound and just another profit grab by corporate interests selling to a gullible public.
...
Yet, in one of the most widely publicized environmental protests this year, what do we see? Yep, water bottles everywhere behind Gleick’s hero, Jim Hansen, seen going to the big house after his third arrest above.
