NOAA Refuses to Hand Over Climate Change Documents to Congress
Last
summer, scientists published a study that challenged the notion that
global warming has been slowing down in recent years. Their analysis was
based on temperature data that was provided by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Since that time, Congressman Lamar
Smith has asked NOAA for the data and internal communications that were
related to the study, but they have refused to hand them over.
On October 13th, Smith filed a subpoena for the documents. The Congressman has long been skeptical of climate change, and has accused NOAA of fabricating temperature data. Smith told The Examiner that "Congress cannot do its job when agencies openly defy Congress and refuse to turn over information...When an agency decides to alter the way it has analyzed historical temperature data for the past few decades, it's crucial to understand on what basis those decisions were made. This action has broad national and policy implications."
Despite the subpoena, NOAA still isn't backing down on the grounds that there is a "long-standing practice in the scientific community to protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussions" and Congressman Eddie Bernice Johnson has backed them up by calling Smith's subpoena an “illegitimate harassment of our nation’s research scientists.”

for over forty five years the Committee of Parties (COP) has spent billions all over the world having 'conferences' to 'discuss' the implications of implementing 'something' & yet the global climate diasters speak for themselves & the visual impact is self evident.
ReplyDeleteYet the 'deniers' still refuse to acknowledge what is before their eyes, as it suits their political agenda -reducing the global population &-in causing chaos - which suits those in power. Now the UN has it's Vision 2030 - in their eyes what is needed is a totalitarian world government. Oh Brave New World !
