An affront to the scientific process...
An article about the global warming community trying to silence an investigation into the tampering of historical data to by NOAA in whose study 'shows' that the the global warming pause never occurred...
Top science groups tell Congress to stop probing NOAA's alleged misdeeds Saying it will have a 'chilling effect' on science.
eight scientific organizations have sent a letter this week to Rep. Lamar Smith (R) for investigating corruption at NOAA. Whistleblowers came forward during a congressional oversight hearing about data manipulation in a much-hyped global warming study. Rep. Smith, who chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, has subpoenaed government-owned emails related to NOAA's work to determine if a landmark global warming study was "rushed to publication" to fit Obama's "aggressive climate agenda."
