December 2, 2009 is exactly twelve days since the story broke worldwide yet zero mentions of the scandal by ABC, CBS and NBC. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,578990,00.html Comedy Central Scoops Network News on Climate-Gate Scandal, Fox News, December 2, 2009]</ref> |

| + | In a case of see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, the Obama administration is committed to [[climate change]] legislation and is dismissive of the whole ClimateGate story. This despite the email messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent. [[John Holdren]], Obama's science advisor states boldly, "The science is proper and this is about a small fraction of research on the issue." <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12/02/white-house-science-officials-defend-climate-change-data-amid-e-mail-scandal/ White House Science Officials Defend Climate Change Data Amid E-Mail Scandal, Fox News, December 02,2009]</ref> In reality, the small fraction is actually a worldwide scam to grab power and dictate new laws by leftists. As Representative [[James Sensenbrenner]] clearly commented, "These e-mails show a pattern of suppression, manipulation and secrecy that was inspired by ideology, condescension and profit." |
