Finally. For years I have been saying it was all crap. Now it starts to come out.
From Anthony Watts through a report from the Climate Science Coalition of New Zealand, we find some more climate alarmist chicanery
The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there.
The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre.
In New Zealand’s case, the figures published on NIWA’s [the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research] website suggest a strong warming trend in New Zealand over the past century:

Awww. Obama’s socialist dictator-wanna-be and Chavez buddy got another slam from those who follow the law as opposed to those who try to force in a dictatorship. Poor Obama must be very upset.
TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Honduras’ Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that ousted President Manuel Zelaya cannot legally return to office, dimming the possibility of his reinstatement after a June coup, court sources said.
The Court did not release the full text of its non-binding ruling, but a court source and a lawyer close to the proceedings said it closely follows earlier decisions upholding Zelaya’s ouster after he moved to change the constitution.

Obama wants to increase the search and seizure powers of the feds? Interesting.
The Obama administration is seeking to reverse a federal appeals court decision that dramatically narrows the government’s search-and-seizure powers in the digital age.
Solicitor General Elena Kagan and Justice Department officials are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its August ruling that federal prosecutors went too far when seizing 104 professional baseball players’ drug results when they had a warrant for just 10.

Why is this not surprising in the least? Once more the MSM proves they are worthless.
Leftists and the media.
There’s an Elvis Costello song, "Hand in Hand," which, like many of his songs, seems superficially sweet, but is dark.
I won’t ask you to apologize
You don’t have to forgive me
But if I’m gonna go dow-ow-own
You’re gonna come with me
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand…
I’ve cut out some lyrics there. You get the point. Everytime the left gets blowed up, there’s the media, jumping on the grenade, killing themselves while failing to save any of their comrades.
The controversy surrounding the global warming scandal today deepened after a BBC correspondent admitted he was sent the leaked emails more than a month before they were made public.
Paul Hudson, weather presenter and climate change expert, claims the documents allegedly sent between some of the world’s leading scientists are of a direct result of an article he wrote.
In his BBC blog two days ago, Hudson said: ‘I was forwarded the chain of emails on the 12th October, which are comments from some of the world’s leading climate scientists written as a direct result of my article "Whatever Happened To Global Warming".’
That essay, written last month, argued that for the last 11 years there had not been an increase in global temperatures.

This is actually a small part of the post they have up, but it caught my eye because I had actually asked this same question of a friend earlier this very day. “If these computer models are so accurate, how are they at predicting the past?” The answer appears to be “not at all”
Climate "models" can so totally predict the future.
Which is, conveniently, unknowable.
You know what they can’t predict? The past.
Which is unfortunately quite knowable, and so we can check their "predictions" against actual records.
They all fail. They all fail.
None of the multiple computer simulations used by a UN climate-change agency for assessments of global warming appears good enough to predict how India’s monsoon will behave, two Indian scientists have said.
The researchers examined 10 simulations of future climate scenarios used by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and found none could reproduce correctly the behaviour of even 20th-century rainfall.
Not a single model could simulate realistically key features of the Indian monsoon…
In attempts to assess impacts of global warming, the IPCC considered 17 models of how climate would evolve as carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rose. Some models predict more rainfall over India, but with great uncertainty.
“The models have very serious problems in simulating even 20th century monsoon patterns,” said Madhavan Rajeevan, a senior scientist at the National Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Tirupati, and a co-author of the paper.
“When a model (computer simulation) cannot even show with reasonable accuracy monsoon behaviour in the past, there’s a big question mark over its ability to predict future patterns,” Rajeevan told The Telegraph.
Well, our models can’t "predict" what happened in the past five years, but, you know, they’re gold-standard 100 years in the future.

And here we go. Now, the military and those who protect us are the criminals and the terrorists have all the rights. Thanks, Obama.
You WILL be removed from office and we WILL fix all the damage you have caused to the US, traitor.
Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three, all members of the Navy’s elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral’s mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.
Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Hahaha. How sad is this? Poor little Olbermann threw a liberal event and no one cared. Of course, Glenn Beck gets alot of press. Press that Olbermann thinks should have been his.
"To reporters from Time magazine, the Politico, The New York Times and everybody else in the mainstream treating this seriously: What are you doing?" Olbermann said. "We had another free health care clinic on Saturday. More than a thousand in Little Rock participated, paid for fully by this show."
Olbermann expressed his frustration over the media attention given to Beck.
"Instead of worrying about the implications of that, you’re covering a guy from the University of ‘I don’t remember’ who has announced some sort of amorphous plan which he has creatively entitled ‘The Plan’," Olbermann lamented.
The one problem with Olbermann’s complaint is that Beck has proven he is much more of an important figure than Olbermann. Beck regularly draws more than two to three times as many viewers as Olbermann, has had two recent best-selling books and is one of the top radio hosts in the country – hence the media attention Beck draws compared to Olbermann.

Obama’s numbers are down to –15, a new low!
After listening to Lord Narcissist explaining how the visit by the PM from India should be remembered as the first visit with Him, I have NO doubt that this is just the beginning.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama (see trends).

And there you have it. This bill is a disaster, but liberals don’t care about the cost or the bill. They want the control.
Over the weekend, Newsweek assistant managing editor Evan Thomas offered an intriguing insight into the MSM’s approach to the liberal health care bill slowly rolling its way through the Democratic-controlled Congress. After conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer accurately pointed out how the Senate bill only pretends to be “deficit-neutral” by front-loading the tax collection process while delaying the payouts, Thomas agreed: “Charles is right. This bill is a fiscal fraud.”
But he quickly added: “I’d still vote for it.”
