Mind-Blowing Temperature Fraud At NOAA

July 27, 2015 Real Science

The measured US temperature data from USHCN shows that the US is on a long-term cooling trend. But the reported temperatures from NOAA show a strong warming trend.

They accomplish this through a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering, which corrupts the US temperature trend by almost two degrees.

The biggest component of this fraud is making up data. Almost half of all reported US temperature data is now fake. They fill in missing rural data with urban data to create the appearance of non-existent US warming.

Clay Aiken Donors: Campaign Turned Into Reality Show

P.J. Gladnick, Nov. 7, 2014, NewsBusters

Clay Aiken has learned that you don't have to actually be a winner to come out ahead. He learned that lesson when he came in second on "American Idol" and was launched into fame while the actual winner of that contest is pretty much forgotten. He seems to have applied that lesson to his recent congressional campaign as well. Aiken lost in a landslide but not to worry, he is about to star in a TV reality show about that campaign. Unfortunately for Clay, some of the good footage of him hanging out with celebrity donors at a September 30 fundraiser in Los Angeles might not be able to be used. The donors are now feeling "duped" by Aiken according to Variety.

When former long-time Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon, and his wife, were found guilty on voter fraud and perjury charges, local publications, of course, were all over the story.

After all, the one-time assistant to five-term Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, Alarcon served for years in the California State Senate, the State Assembly, and Los Angeles City Council. But the one-time L.A. mayoral candidate was charged with voter fraud and perjury, accused of illegally living outside of his district and lying about his true residence.

The Los Angeles Times, the Daily News and the Los Angeles Business Journal all reported on his conviction. But none -- not one -- of the three publications, at least in their online editions, noted Alarcon's party affiliation: Democrat.

Look at the L.A. Times. Its headline reads: "Former councilman Richard Alarcon, wife guilty of voter fraud, perjury." In an article with 11 paragraphs, the paper could not find the space to squeeze in even a tiny little reference to his party.

Now contrast this with an L.A. Times article about the conviction of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Republican. The headline and sub-headline refer to Delay's Republican affiliation -- twice. "Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay convicted of money laundering: The Republican was accused of conspiring to funnel $190,000 in donations to GOP candidates in Texas in 2002 elections. He faces five to 99 years in prison, plus two to 20 years for a conspiracy count.”

The short, 12-paragraph body of the article manages to mention Delay’s “Republican” affiliation:

Republican U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay … was accused of conspiring to illegally funnel $190,000 in corporate campaign donations to Republican candidates. …

“In 1994, DeLay was part of the "Republican revolution" that won control of the House for the first time in 40 years. He then got the job of House majority whip, making him the chamber's third-ranking Republican. …

“DeLay resigned from the House in 2006 after being linked to Jack Abramoff, a former Republican lobbyist snared in a federal investigation of influence peddling on Capitol Hill. Two of DeLay's former aides pleaded guilty to corruption. DeLay denied any wrongdoing. …

“During the 2006 congressional election, Democrats criticized DeLay's actions, saying that they illustrated a pattern of corruption in the Republican-led Congress. Democrats won the 2006 election and took back control of Congress.”

Count them.

In addition to the two headline references to the Republican Party, the article cites DeLay's party or his interaction with another "Republican" six additional times.

The most charitable Alarcon explanation is this. California has so few Republicans, none elected statewide, that Democrats are the only ones left around here to corrupt.
