Barack Obama promised to remove politics from science, and has done the exact opposite. His Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell said that she “hopes there are no climate deniers working for her” and Barack Obama is continuously abusive to anyone who doesn’t believe that his token CO2 gestures will save the planet.
The message being sent to government scientists is unmistakable, Toe the official line of the orthodoxy, or your job is at risk. Obama’s tactics are straight out of the 15th century.
An exceedingly evil, intelligent force expanded from the central Eurasian continent to engulf the entire globe after WWII.
That is why the integrity of science and constitutional limits on world governments evaporated, . . .
Fragmenting the unity of the laws of nuclear physics, thermodynamics and cosmology, . . .
With separate and irrational forms of consensus scientific explanations for increasing entropy, expansion of the universe, nuclear and atomic forces.
Dividing the wisdom acquired from spiritual and scientific practices into dogmatic, warring opponents.
Here’s documentation of the devious path from WWII to Climategate

This Thanksgiving weekend I am grateful to be able to conclude confidently that:
1. Society survived a torturous 64-year journey from WWII in 1945 to Climategate in 2009:
2. Governments that continue to deceive the public will not survive.
Reblogged this on Centinel2012 and commented:
Well there is precedence as VP Al Gore had Dr. William Happer fired in 1993 for doubting his global warning scheme!
The only safe scientists are the ones with tenure, or the retired ones. Or…the ones willing to bald-face lie and agree with the hoax.
Tenured scientists are not as “safe” as most people probably think. Even if they have 100% job security from tenure, they are constantly competing for research funding. If they get blackballed or shunned, their research funding can dry up. And many tenured scientists must pay a portion of their salaries out of the research grants they receive. A collaborator of mine has to pay 90% of his salary from grants. So if he makes $150,000 per year while grant money is coming in, he would only have a salary of $15,000 guaranteed by his department if the money dries up.
If grants stop getting funded, research staff get laid off, lab space gets taken away, and salary takes a major hit, how “safe” is it to challenge the orthodoxy? There is a huge amount of herd mentality in all types of scientific research, driven by the very precarious career situation that most scientists are in.
Mentions Happer’s firing.

I was just reading an old post at Judith Curry’s by Zeke Hausfather
Understanding adjustments to temperature data
Posted on July 7, 2014 | 2,044 Comments
Zeke says about the adjustments
I’ve seen another commenter at WUWT ask Mosher to explain the temperature adjustments are just one location in Reykjavík, Iceland. Every time I see that, I think it’s an interesting challenge to put out there to those who insist that adjustments are justified. But I think it might be even more clever to hound them with this last chart that Tony put together showing CO2 and USHCN adjustments in a near perfect correlation.
This chart makes it self-evident what’s going on. And they have already stated that the algorithm is working as intended, so what other explanation could they possibly offer?
I loved the way the ‘Adjusted temperature’ at the weather station within walking distance of my farm showed a minimum temperature of 33F while I had two inches of ice form on my stock tanks over night and ~4 inches of snow fall on my pastures. The weather station also reported the precipitation as ‘rain’
After I called Dr Masters a liar on his blog and spread it all over the net, it hastily got changed but only shows 0.37 inches of snow and 31F hi 27, F avg, 24F low. The temperatures at least are a bit closer to actual.
The temperatures at that weather station (rural airport) ALWAYS are 3 -5 F higher 24 hours later after the ‘adjustments’ are applied.
KTM, that would be me. (-; and yes, I have put that challenge to Mosher at least five times. Mosher actions define him as an non responsive elitist, incapable of engaging in any real discussion. Mosher will not respond to 90% of the comment directed his way. He will not respond to 100% of comments that link to this site.
Mosher is not a scientist, but a talented avoider of truth.
I think we have here a case of the phenomenon of the great and good friend. If I remember correctly, that’s how Al Haig (a trusted subordinate to Nixon and later to Reagan) described Joseph Califano (a Democratic fixer), There are other cases. It seems that Judith Curry and Anthony Watts have both found a great and good friend in Zeke Hausfather, not noticing that he’s the kind of friend who makes enemies unnecessary.
GRRRrrr Fogot the backslash on the quotes. Sorry folks.
Gail, you always make me smile!
Glad someone besides my husband enjoys my warped sense of humor. {:>D
I really do hate to pick nits, but the expression is “toe” the line. Typo maybe?
People who do not know the origin of the expression commonly misspell ‘toe’.
http://grammartips.homestead.com/toetheline.html
It could be the spell checker that doesn’t know the origin of the expression.
If you want to say “tow the line” you should just say “tow the rope” so somebody doesn’t think you’re talking about something else and spelled it wrong. Nobody tows lines anyway, they reel lines, they draw lines, they snort lines. Nobody tows lines. They tow ropes. You can tow a barge but you really tug those. But you can also tug ropes. You can’t toe a barge, that would hurt.
The alarmists are the true deniers. They deny that there has been an 18 year pause in warming. They deny that worldwide sea ice is normal. They deny that there has been no increase in extreme weather and a marked decrease in hurricanes and tornadoes. They deny that polar bears and penguins are thriving. They deny that heat and drought was far worse in the 1930’s. They deny their own satellite data. They deny that they manipulate data in an extremely warm biased fashion. They deny the scientific method. The list goes on and on.
If you want to know what left wing liberal democrats are up to, all you have to do is look at what they accuse others of doing.

“Barack Obama promised to remove politics from science,”
When the Donks were shouting about this during the heady days of the BHO campaign I knew exactly what they were saying. We were going to get Climate Change Crap and embryonic stem cell research crammed down our throats whether we liked it or not.
What the leftists mean is that they’re not going to let your politics (any opposition to leftist policies no matter the basis for said opposition) to interfere with their science (all leftist policies are rooted in science by their characterization).
There’s also another amusing development among young lefties. They’re now implying that all of their opinions are scientifically based because they disdain religion. Basically atheism is rooted in science no matter how stupid any particular atheist may be.
@Gail Combs,
“Unfortunately with over two thousand comments my computer will barely load the page and takes eons to page down so I could only read a relatively few of the comments.”
Youy are suffering from Windoze…..you need Linux. I will be happy to install it for you. Just bring your laptop to that fine restaurant where we met a year ago.
Camel,
I am using Linux but my computer is a mastodon (upgrade from the dinosaur that died.) It seems to be Opera that is hogging all the available memory.
