"Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) today asked the Obama administration to investigate what he called “the greatest scientific scandal of our generation” — the actions of climate scientists revealed by the Climategate Files, and the subsequent admissions by the editors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).

Senator Inhofe also called for former Vice President Al Gore to be called back to the Senate to testify.

“In [Gore's] science fiction movie, every assertion has been rebutted,” Inhofe said. He believes Vice President Gore should defend himself and his movie before Congress.


This report, obtained exclusively by Pajamas Media before today’s hearing, alleges:

[The] Minority Staff of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works believe the scientists involved may have violated fundamental ethical principles governing taxpayer-funded research and, in some cases, federal laws. In addition to these findings, we believe the emails and accompanying documents seriously compromise the IPCC -backed “consensus” and its central conclusion that anthropogenic emissions are inexorably leading to environmental catastrophes."..........

It's about time that we get to the bottom of this mess.

Oil and water don't mix.

Neither should science and politics.

:confused:
er.... so, are you for or against Senator Inhofe's proposal to have Congress investigate a scientific matter?

Geez....there are Senate and House committees dealing with science and the environment. Inhofe is the minority ranking member of that Senate committee. Read some of their transcripts to get the flavor of what goes on there.

Anyway, you've put the cart behind the horse. The problem is that politics has been meddling with this science, not that it could or would if an investigation is held.

FYI, I'm opposed to congressional investigations and favor criminal investigations, as false scientific premises my have knowingly been used to get government grants.
 
What, specifically, in those files points to wrongdoing?
 
Inhofe?

Isn't there kind of a crazy file where we throw Paul, Inhofe, Bachmann, et al whenever they say something?

Buddy it's a lost cause. It's like bouncing a rubber ball off of a brick wall.

Mann was basically exonerated of any scientific malfeasance in his university's investiagion. Doesn't make a lick of difference to these folks.
 
Textbook. Focus on a single person as a "spokesman" to rally against.

A pathetic attempt by a minority party Senetar to politicise the non-issue dubbed "climategate". Al Gore was the spokesperson for a movie. Bringing him before Congress is nothing more than a political move. On side note, Gore is at no risk of loosing his Nobel prize.
 
Inhofe has no particular credentials to head an environment-related committee. He's a bean counter. He has a vested interest in stopping science that impedes laissez faire capitalism.

The only environmental call the fool has gotten right was his stance on soot.
 
But some heads need to roll. Why not Gore's?

We should be able to all agree on that.

He's an embarrasment to the Warmers.

Wouldn't the world be a better place if he had to spend some time in his little room?
