ClimateGate: Science Has Gone to Bed With Advocacy

RexMurphyIn the clip below, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation commentator Rex Murphy sums up the ClimateGate relations about monkey business in global warming data.

Though ClimateGate has brought this more out into the open, the extremist advocacy from many in the “scientific” community has been going on for a long time (and not just in the area of global warming, either).

One need only look at the vast ocean of historical and scientific information which points to natural and cyclic climate change on earth to realize Al Gore’s silly idea doesn’t even pass the smell test of credibility. Or as Murphy puts it, full of stuff we wouldn’t accept at a 9th Grade science fair.

From Murphy’s commentary:

“CRU is not the universe of climate research, but it is the star. These emails demonstrate one thing beyond all else: that climate science and global warming advocacy have become so entwined, so meshed into a mutant creature, that separating alarmism from investigation, ideology from science, agenda from empirical study, is well nigh impossible. Climategate is evidence that the science has gone to bed with advocacy, and both have had a very good time: – that the neutrality, openness, and absolute disinterest that is the hallmark of all honest scientific endeavor has been abandoned to an atmosphere and a dynamic not superior to the partisan caterwauls of a sub-average Question Period.

    The Climategate emails underscore the need for the United States to convene its own objective, transparent Climate Truth Commission.

    The emails strongly suggest that some of the science behind man-made global warming is not rock solid and that the scientific consensus is in part the product of silencing or marginalizing those who might upset it. The USA must quit outsourcing its climate science to the United Nations (the email authors were key writers of the UN's 2007 report). It defies common sense that the UN is both the judge (IPCC) and an advocate (Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen). Few people seem to realize the IPCC was only tasked to evaluate the risk of climate change caused by human activity. In other words, the UN didn't consider the role of Mother Nature in climate change!

    "...the science behind man-made global warming is not rock solid and that the scientific consensus is in part the product of silencing or marginalizing those who might upset it."

    If anything good comes from all the global-warming fakery, it should be this: That people will learn not to swallow unquestioningly whatever they're told "science" says, precisely because there are so many dishonest people who recognize the (abusable) power of that word.

    For another example, substitute "evolution" for "man-made global warming" in the sentence I quoted.

    Well said.
    I wonder when the perky Katie Couric will talk about this on the CBS Nightly Opinion.
    How about a big Dateline expose on NBC (GE)?
    I wouldn't hold my breath.
