Newsflash: Obama Cooked the Books on Global Warming

A key Obama administration scientist brushed aside inconvenient data that showed a slowdown in global warming in compiling an alarming 2015 report that coincided with the White House participation in the Paris Climate Conference, a whistle blower is alleging.
quote:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in a major 2013 report, concluded global temperatures had shown a smaller increase from 1998 to 2012 than any similar period over the past 30 to 60 years. But a blockbuster, June 2015 paper by a team of federal scientists led by Thomas Karl, published in the journal Science in June 2015 and later known as the “pausebuster" paper sought to discredit the notion of a slowdown in warming.
quote:
"Our new analysis suggests that the apparent hiatus may have been largely the result of limitations in past datasets, and that the rate of warming over the first 15 years of this century has, in fact, been as fast or faster than that seen over the last half of the 20th century," Karl, who was at the time director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information, said at the time.
quote:
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Science Committee, questioned the timing, noting the paper was published just before the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan was submitted to the Paris Climate Conference of 2015.
"In the summer of 2015, whistleblowers alerted the Committee that the Karl study was rushed to publication before underlying data issues were resolved to help influence public debate about the so-called Clean Power Plan and upcoming Paris climate conference," Smith said in a statement. "Since then, the Committee has attempted to obtain information that would shed further light on these allegations, but was obstructed at every turn by the previous administration’s officials."
quote:
Karl’s neglect of the IPCC data was purposeful, according to John Bates, a recently retired scientist from the National Climactic Data Center at the NOAA. Bates came forward just days ago to charge that the 2015 study selectively used misleading and unverified data – effectively putting NOAA’s thumb on the scale.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Bates said Karl was “insisting on decisions and scientific choices that maximized warming and minimized documentation… in an effort to discredit the notion of a global warming pause, rushed so that he could time publication to influence national and international deliberations on climate policy.” For example, Karl allegedly adjusted temperature data collected by robot buoys upward to match earlier data from ocean-going ships. That was problematic, Bates said, because ships generate heat and could cause readings to vary.
“They had good data from buoys,” Bates told the Daily Mail. “And they threw it out and ‘corrected’ it by using the bad data from ships. You never change good data to agree with bad, but that’s what they did – so as to make it look as if the sea was warmer.” Bates, who could not be reached for comment, but has published some of his allegations in a blog, claims to have documentation of his explosive charges and indicated more revelations are coming.

Hardly a news flash for those with any common sense.

They also cooked the books on the unemployment rate each of the 96 months they were in office.

Fake news. Am I doing this right? Y'all are a sad bunch. What's gonna happen when you can't blame Obama for everything?

That will never happen. The left is still blaming Bush.

But Al Gore told me it doesn't snow anymore because of global warming.

I mean, you may be able to argue that global climate change is not man made, but it's a proven fact that the polar ice caps are losing size and melting every month.

So does that give the government the right to tax me more if and when it's proven climate change isn't man made?

Those are just alternative facts.

CO2 levels rising at unsustainable levels but yeah okay.... climate change is fake.
Anyone know how much Bates is being paid?

So there was an investigation upon which this was the conclusion?

I can't answer that, nor am I qualified to even attempt to. All I said is its factual that the polar ice caps are melting faster than ever seen before.
I have no dog in the fight. I do science for a living and study facts. I do believe that if all carbon emissions world wide would end this second you would see the rate at which we are warmsing only decrease approximately 3-5%. In other words, we are contributing to global climate change, but our impact is minuscule in relation to other aspects that we cannot control.

It's Fox News, it's not like it's buzzfeed.
