ClimateGate 2.0? Emails Show US Government, Other Governments Lobbied Scientists to Downplay or Delete Evidence That Atmosphere Hasn’t Warmed for 15 Years from Upcoming IPCC Report
But don’t ask how the Science got Settled. That’s like asking how a cow got turned into a hamburger. You don’t want to know. It’s ugly.
AP show the U.S. and other governments pushed scientists preparing a new UN climate report due out next week to omit or downplay evidence that the earth’s atmosphere has stopped warming for the past 15 years.From the wire – “Germany called for the reference to the slowdown to be deleted, saying a time span of 10 to 15 years was misleading in the context of climate change, which is measured over decades and centuries. The U.S. also urged the authors to include the ‘leading hypothesis’ that the reduction in warming is linked to more heat being transferred to the deep ocean.”
Ahem. Why are government bureaucrats telling Scientists what they think the Science should be? Isn’t the whole point of the “Consensus of Scientists” line that Scientists have come to these conclusions based on nothing but Science?
