Yid with Lid: Leading Climate Change Scientists Use the "Obama Defense" to Deflect "Stolen Emails"

"Some of the leading scientists in the 'Holy Church of Global Warming Moonbats' have shown they have learned a very important rule from US President Barack Obama, when confronted with bad facts, attack the person(s) delivering the fact, call the news a big lie or say it was taken totally out of context. And NEVER, back up your claims with facts. That's how he defended himself against his Jeremiah Wright association, porkulus detractors and the opponents of Obamacare. Now Scientists are using that strategy to deflect the storm arising from those 'Stolen' emails indicating a cover-up of contrary data by global warming proponents:

"Three leading scientists who on Tuesday released a report documenting the accelerating pace of climate change said the scandal that erupted last week over hacked emails from climate scientists is nothing more than a 'smear campaign' aimed at sabotaging December climate talks in Copenhagen.

"'We're facing an effort by special interests who are trying to confuse the public,' said Richard Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a lead author of the UN IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Dissenters see action to slow global warming as 'a threat,' he said.

"It seems to me that when Scientist Phil Jones wrote I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline, THAT was confusing the public.

"Of course dissenters see the global warming moonbats' actions as a threat. The scientists have taken an unproven theory that was shaky even before the 'stolen emails' add to it the fact that they are not allowing any peer reviewed research disagreeing with their funky research to be presented. Then add to it the politicians who see it as an opportunity for more government control, and worldwide income redistribution, and they expect the people who haven't drank the Kool aid to think its anything but a threat?"
