Chris Wallace pushed the phony "Climate-gate" story on FNS
today and actually tried to make an argument supporting the
deniers, but no matter how much Kim Strassel says otherwise,
http://mediamatters.org/research/200912110015
the hacked emails taken out of context prove nothing. Chris
Wallace's logic is that since these freaks don't believe in
real science, then science should welcome the debate.
Wallace: Now, oftentimes that phrase is used --
Holocaust deniers. But the Holocaust was a historical fact.
We�re talking here about science, and science usually
welcomes opposing views.
Huh? When science is explained then the discussion is over.
It's that simple. Let's say the conservative crazies were
arguing that the earth is flat and science comes in and
disproves that hypothesis and proves that the world is round
then there is no debate or an opposing view any longer. It's
settled. The earth is round and no matter how many of the
Inhofers cry that the earth is still flat, it's immaterial.
What the Inhofers are doing is scientifically proving that
they are certifiably insane.
Sen. Inhofe is a notorious global warming denier and after
Chris Wallace promoted the fraudulent Climate-Gate hacked
email story, he asked wacko Sen. Inhofe to explain the fact
that this decade has been the warmest ever recorded if there
is no such thing as climate change. here's what a
conservative crank responds.
WALLACE: Whatever you want to say about the e-mails,
Senator Inhofe, the fact is that just this week, the World
Meteorological Organization said that this decade is the
warmest on record and that 2009 is the fifth warmest year on
record. Does that mean nothing?
INHOFE: It -- well, it means -- it means very little
because that was based on the same flawed science, the IPC
science, that we have been looking at.
Now, we have to say on the science thing that this is
something that -- we saw this coming years ago, and for
those individuals who doubt the fact that it�s flawed
science, listen to what the U.K. Daily Telegraph said. They
said it�s the worst scientific scandal of our generation.
Publications all over have looked at this and decided that.
You see, proof means nothing in conservative circles.
Science means nothing to conservative nitwits. The earth is
flat dammit!

WALLACE: Wait, wait. Gentlemen, let me bring in --
because I�m sure our viewers are screaming at this point.
They want to hear about �climategate,� and they want to hear
what the two of you have to say. And this, of course, are
the hundreds of e-mails that were either leaked or hacked
from one of the leading climate research centers in the
world that happens to be in Britain.
And let�s put up just two that have caused some of the
greatest concern. From 1999, �I�ve just completed Mike�s
Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for
the last 20 years, i.e. from 1981 onwards, and from 1961 for
Keith�s to hide the decline.� And he�s talking about to hide
the decline in temperatures.
And from 2009, �The fact is that we can�t account for
the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that
we can�t. Our observing system is inadequate.�
Congressman Markey, I was laughing because you�re
bringing up this prop here. Let me ask you, how damaging are
those e-mails? And let me ask you a larger question, because
you and Al Gore talk about climate deniers.
Now, oftentimes that phrase is used -- Holocaust
deniers. But the Holocaust was a historical fact. We�re
talking here about science, and science usually welcomes
opposing views.
MARKEY: Well, here is the comprehensive study done by
thousands of scientists around the world that is the
definitive study that was used by the United Nations and the
nations of the world to say that we must do something about
climate change, we must do something about global warming.
Here on page 473, and on other pages, is the discussion
of those e-mails, the discussion of the subject material in
those e-mails -- Siberian tree rings, OK?
Now, what�s happening now is that the deniers want to
create a Siberian tree ring circus. They want to take a
small percentage of this entire study, a couple pages of it
-- 1,000 pages -- and throw out the conclusion, the
overwhelming conclusion, of scientists in the world that
there is dangerous global warming.
The real scandal will be...
INHOFE: I thought the Senate was supposed to be
filibustering.
MARKEY: The real -- the real scandal will be -- is if we
don�t solve this problem...
WALLACE: OK. Let me bring...
MARKEY: ... for coming generations...
WALLACE: Let me bring...
MARKEY: ... of young people...
WALLACE: Let me bring in Senator Inhofe.
MARKEY: ... on our planet.
WALLACE: Whatever you want to say about the e-mails,
Senator Inhofe, the fact is that just this week, the World
Meteorological Organization said that this decade is the
warmest on record and that 2009 is the fifth warmest year on
record. Does that mean nothing?
INHOFE: It -- well, it means -- it means very little
because that was based on the same flawed science, the IPC
science, that we have been looking at.
Now, we have to say on the science thing that this is
something that -- we saw this coming years ago, and for
those individuals who doubt the fact that it�s flawed
science, listen to what the U.K. Daily Telegraph said. They
said it�s the worst scientific scandal of our generation.
Publications all over have looked at this and decided that.
But let me say this, Chris, because I know we�re running
out of time. Four years ago on the Senate floor, I gave a
speech -- it�s in my Web site, inhofe.senate.gov -- you can
look it up -- and at that time I outlined what all these
scientists had come to me saying how they were denied the
opportunity to give their view to the IPCC.
It�s all cooked science. And now when this �climategate�
came out, all that did is just verify everything I said four
years ago. Look it up. It�s there.
