NYTimes: Polar bear-gate a ‘minor sideshow’

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

When the New York Times first opined on Climategate (December 6, 2009), the paper called it “noise.” On Saturday, the paper had this to say about Polar bear-gate in an editorial entitled “A Polarizing Polar Bear Investigation“:

… Whatever the ultimate verdict on Dr. Monnett, the controversy over his observations is a minor sideshow in the global warming debate. A broad array of evidence suggests that polar bear populations — and the health of the planet — will be threatened by climate change in future decades even if not a single additional polar bear drowns while swimming far from shore.

But given that Climategate’s “noise” helped take down cap-and-trade and, now, the seminal study in polar bear hysteria may be yet another example of alarmist scientific misconduct, perhaps the Times ought to be questioning that “broad array” of “suggestive” evidence rather than simply dismissing Polar bear-gate as a “minor sideshow.”

it’s less than a side show. NOTHING about it diminsihes the FACT that Arctic Sea Ice continues to recede year-on-year at a rate of better than 300 cubic kilometers per year!

Blah Blah Blah

Storky repeats the TIRED OLD AGW LIES.

AGW IS A LOGICAL FALLACY.

AGW is a claim backed by nothing but DOGMA AND BELIEF

Actually, there is something important about “Polarbeargate”.

It looks like the Inspector General’s office of the Department of the Interior has been taken over by the oil corporations, in effect.

There has been a long history of corruption in the Department of the Interior, and now the Inspector General’s office appears to be conducting witch hunts after scientists at oil corporation behest.

It’s time to take back the Department of the Interior, especially the Minearals Management Service and the Inspector General’s office. Under Clinton and Bush, they were giving away the store to the oil corporations. Obama has reformed these services, somewhat, but if they are still conducting witch hunts against scientists to benefit their oil corporation pals, obviously a lot of corruption remains. Likely the 53 billion dollar giveaway documented by the GAO is only the tip of the iceberg, with regard to Dept. of the Interior corruption.

Giving away government money accidentally on purpose

So Congress sensibly instructed the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to award these free leases only when the price of oil was at a level low enough that they wouldn’t otherwise be profitable to exploit.

Whoops! We all remember the MMS, right? So apparently, in 1998-99, the folks at the MMS were too busy flirting with each other, or accepting private-jet rides to college football games, or whatever, to notice that the price of oil had gotten pretty high and they shouldn’t be handing out free leases anymore. As a result, 24 companies got free leases they shouldn’t have gotten. And ever since, they’ve been making extra money that they really ought to be returning in the form of leases on public property to the American taxpayer. As of 2008, the bill came to $1.3 billion; this year, the losses will be $1.5 billion. Over the decades-long lifetime of the wells it’ll add up to a lot more. According to the Government Accountability Office it’ll come to $53 billion over the next 25 years.
and that nytime had NO named poster and no comment allowed,
amazing they can run nameless opinion bits..
actually it blows the whole bear(manpig) to hell.
and the shill storky knows the ice varies by decades,..or he should if he wasnt so daft.
