Yesterday wattsupwiththat<\/a> posted an article entitled, “Report from the Office of the Inspector General: Global Climate Change Program Data May Be\u00a0Unreliable<\/a>.” No kidding. First of all, climate<\/a> change has been with us since the early days of earth. Second of all, in 1985 TIME Magazine<\/a> predicted global cooling<\/a> (which I think may have actually been right). We have already read the emails showing that the charts used to create panic about global warming<\/a> were rigged. Now the Inspector General is getting into the act.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Lack of oversight, non-compliance and a lax review process for the State Department<\/a>\u2019s global climate change programs have led the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)<\/a> to conclude that program data \u201ccannot be consistently relied upon by decision-makers\u201d and it cannot be ensured \u201cthat Federal funds were being spent in an appropriate manner.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…OIG\u2019s original report found that \u201cOES did not fully implement the guidance for conducting [Data Quality Assessments] to help ensure that the data used in reporting programmatic results were complete, accurate, consistent, and supportable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately climate science has become a vehicle for poorer countries to shake down richer countries by holding the richer countries responsible for global warming. It is almost impossible to trust any of the data that has been released on climate change. Until the link between politics and science is broken, we really don’t know what the truth is. There are some of us, however, who at this point would not object to a small amount of global warming.<\/p>\n
