****a post I rescued from the great Google cache *****

Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren, the man who believes in mass sterilization to “save the planet” and that trees should have legal standing, again to “save the planet” is fighting back and supports the fraudulent climate data used in the ClimateGate e-mail scandal:

“The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus … that tells us the earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,”

Never mind that the e-mails discuss deleting data and records. Never mind that scientist in New Zealand  ‘adjusted’ data to get the desired results (showing ‘global warming’ where none exists). Never mind that NASA is stonewalling a FOIA request regarding their ‘global warming’ data:

Mark Hess, public affairs director for the Goddard Space Flight Center which runs the GISS laboratory, said they are working on Mr. Horner’s request, though he couldn’t say why they have taken so long.

“We’re collecting the information and will respond with all the responsive relevant information to all of his requests,” Mr. Hess said. “It’s just a process you have to go through where you have to collect data that’s responsive.”

He said he was unfamiliar with the British controversy and couldn’t say whether NASA was susceptible to the same challenges to its data. The White House has dismissed the British e-mails as irrelevant.

The data in question is where NASA ‘recalculated’ data to show that 1998 and 2006 and not 1934 were the warmest years  on record for the United States.

Getting Back To Obama’s Science Czar, John Holdren, he is fighting back because he is tied to the ClimateGate scandal as well. He testified earlier this week that the there is no dispute, planet is warming:

Into the mix comes White House science adviser John Holdren, whose apocalyptic and bizarre views of humanity and science should disqualify him from participation in any serious discussion. He testified Wednesday before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming that human activity is “beyond any reasonable doubt” the primary cause of global warming.

And the author of the IBD article adds this:

However this controversy comes out,” he said of the CRU scandal, “the result will not call into question the bulk of our understanding of how the climate works or how humans affect it.” Even if that understanding is based on fudged and deliberately manipulated data designed to “hide the decline” in global temperatures?

Obama, Holdren and the rest of the anti-freedom Democrats think that we should destroy our economy and surrender our freedom based on manipulated data because, you know, all the scientists agree that there is global warming.
