CIA Teams Up With Scientists To Monitor Climate
MikeChino writes "The CIA has just joined up with climate researchers to re-launch a data-sharing initiative that will use spy satellites and other CIA asets to help scientists figure out what climate change is doing to cloud cover, forests, deserts, and more. The collaboration is an extension of the Measurements of Earth Data for Environmental Analysis program, which President Bush canceled in 2001, and it will use reconnaissance satellites to track ice floes moving through the Arctic basin, creating data that could be used for ice forecasts." Even though the program is "basically free" in terms of CIA involvement, the Times notes: "Controversy has often dogged the use of federal intelligence gear for environmental monitoring. In October, days after the CIA opened a small unit to assess the security implications of climate change, Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming, said the agency should be fighting terrorists, 'not spying on sea lions.'"
Actually... you're accusing CO2 of a crime. You need to prove it's guilty. It doesn't need to prove it's innocence; It just needs to discredit you.
Listen, I have had enough of your biased and ignorant NONSENSE.
1. To label skeptics Deniers tells us all about your agenda. This is not about Jews and the Holocaust.
2. Both NOAA and NASA data have now been shown to have gone though the HAD-CRU massaging and improvement process which is entirely mathematically mis-conceived.
It dosnt matter how, why, whether it was done for the best reasons, it is just plain wrong. If you go further and look at the CRU code, it is clearly fraudulent.
It dosnt matter who pointed out that 75% of the Russian data was omitted, it was, and it should not have been
It dosnt matter "this is all done in an automated manner" if the program was fraudulant, or even just wrong.
3. Having read Lord Dr. Monckton and Dr. Burt Rutan's re-analysis of the raw-data, now we have it thanks to UK FOI and ClimateGate it makes much more sense than Professor Jones and Dr. Mann's work and the first two are not caught up in the AGW evangelists.
The whole tone of your post, the anger that you feel about any opposition or skepticism to your own views, your use of ad hominum arguments, your twisting of plain facts means that you cannot be taken seriously.
