Apparently Wasserman Schultz is oblivious to her own hypocrisy. There is nothing remotely inclusive about such a “my way or the prosecutorial highway” take on science that is far from settled, despite all the orchestrated hysteria by Democrats and their media enablers. Yet if Democrats wish to prosecute fraud, perhaps they should start at the top of the so-called food chain, as in government entities, not corporate ones, who have pushed an agenda in lieu of scientific fact.
Take the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies, for example. German Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert, a retired geologist and data computation expert, undertook a detailed study of NASA-GISS’s temperature data series, going all the way back to 1881 and involving 1,153 stations. He discovered25 NASA-GISS had tampered with raw temperature data to literally invent global warming. Between 2010 and 2012 NASA-GISS altered its own data sets to show a post-WWII warming that never existed. Moreover, apart from the continent of Australia, the planet has been on a cooling trend.
The agency is not an outlier. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has also cooked the books26 on more than one occasion, including on ocean temperatures27 to make the nearly two decade warming “hiatus” disappear.
Earlier this year, at a “hottest year ever” press briefing, NOAA presented a graph ostensibly showing a 58-year long temperature record compiled by “radiosondes,” which are mini weather stations with radio transmitters attached to helium or hydrogen-filled balloons that lift them to altitudes exceeding 115,000 feet. Yet NOAA’s graph showed28 only the last 37 of those 58 years. The omitted data? It revealed as much pre-1979 global cooling as post-1979 warming.
It also revealed NOAA’s willingness to defraud the public in pursuit of the leftist agenda.
And that’s when leftists bother pursuing data at all. Speaking to the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee, climatologist Michael Mann de-emphasized the need for climate science because global warming has become too obvious to ignore. “What is disconcerting to me and so many of my colleagues,” he lamented, “is that these tools that we’ve spent years developing increasingly are unnecessary because we can see climate change, the impacts of climate change, now, playing out in real time, on our television screens, in the 24-hour news cycle.”
Unfortunately for Democrats, the sun itself is not cooperating29. On June 23, for the second time in just this month, the sun went completely spotless. The blank sun is a sign the next solar minimum is on its way, leading to an increasing number of spotless days, then weeks, then months reaching a solar minimum phase around 2019 or 2020. The last time30 the sun entered a long phase with no sun spots was between 1645 and 1715. The so-called “Maunder Minimum” coincided with the Little Ice Age that produced a series of extraordinarily cold winters in Earth’s northern hemisphere. Some scientists believe we will experience31 a similar scenario in the next few years.
Are they correct? More to the point, what gives them any less credibility than fascist-minded Democrats and their government collaborators at NASA and the NOAA, or the odious coalition of 16 Democrat attorneys general who are threatening legal action and huge fines against those who refuse to abide their version of so-called Settled Science™?
In a rare show of backbone, Republicans are fighting back. “If it is possible to minimize the risks of climate change, then the same goes for exaggeration,” Republican AGs wrote in a letter32 to their Democrat counterparts. “If minimization is fraud, exaggeration is fraud.”
Yet such fraud pales in comparison to a Democrat Party willing to formally embrace the prosecution of Americans' First Amendment protections. A Democrat Party that is clearly green on the outside, but red on the inside. “The draft platform we have produced in an open and transparent manner reflects our priorities as Democrats and demonstrates our vision for this nation,” states Platform Drafting Committee Chair Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD). Those would be the priorities of suppression and/or prosecution, and the vision of an authoritarian state. Democrats? Fascists is more like it.
MORE ANALYSIS FROM THE PATRIOT POST
Pollaganda: 2016 Edition33
Brexit: What Now?34
California’s High-Speed Derail35
OPINION IN BRIEF
Victor Davis Hanson: “Elites ignored the likely causes of the Orlando shooting: the appeal of ISIS-generated hatred to some young, second-generation radical Muslim men living in Western societies, and the politically correct inability of Western authorities to short-circuit that clear-cut connection. Instead, the establishment all but blamed Middle America for supposedly being anti-gay and pro-gun. In both the U.S. and Britain, such politically correct hypocrisy is superimposed on highly regulated, highly taxed and highly governmentalized economies that are becoming ossified and stagnant. The tax-paying middle classes, who lack the romance of the poor and the connections of the elite, have become convenient whipping boys of both in order to leverage more government social programs and to assuage the guilt of the elites who have no desire to live out their utopian theories in the flesh. America’s version of the British antidote to elite hypocrisy is the buffoonish populist Donald Trump. Like the architects of Brexit, he arose not from what he was for, but what he said he was against.”
SHORT CUTS
Insight: “A newspaper has three things to do. One is to amuse, another is to entertain and the rest is to mislead.” —Ernest Bevin (1881-1951)
Observations: “I suspect it is hard to exploit this latest attack [in Turkey] to make the cause for gun control since the jihadists used bombs. But I do recall Attorney General Loretta Lynch saying after the Orlando carnage that ‘our most effective response to terror … is … love.’ I can’t imagine why they [won’t] repeat that pearl of wisdom today. … Crushing the ideology of Muslim supremacism and ridding the world of these death worshippers would be the greatest act of love we could do for the entire planet — especially those in the Muslim world who do desire peace.” —Gary Bauer
Alpha Jackass: “I feel that Marco Rubio should be sued to pay back all the money that the federal government paid him. He was never here [during the primary], and the state of Florida was missing a senator during that time.” —Harry Reid (And yet, even though his presence was intermittent, Rubio still managed to accomplish more than Reid ever has.)
Defiant: “Let’s assume hypothetically that the state Supreme Court knocks … down [my executive action that reinstates voting rights to ex-convicts4]. The next day I will sit at my desk — probably with the assistance of my autopen — and I will sign 206,000 orders.” —Gov. Terry McAuliffe (Translation: Rule of Law be damned.)
Village Idiots: “Look, we have challenges with Iran, as everybody knows, and we’re working on those challenges. But I can tell you that Iran in Iraq has been, in certain ways, helpful, and they clearly are focused on ISIL-Daesh, and so we have a common interest, actually.” —John Kerry (They may have a common interest, but for entirely malicious reasons.)
Science! “Earth needs a virtual country: #Rationalia, with a one-line Constitution: All policy shall be based on the weight of evidence.” —Neil deGrasse Tyson
And last… “People can be horrible when they’re sure religion proves them right, but wait until you have those who are sure ‘science’ proves them right.” —Frank Fleming
