Congressman accuses Obama and NOAA of climate extremism

There’s “No ambiguity there” says an article in “Scientific Method“,”[Congressman] Smith is clearly suggesting that the NOAA is manipulating its results to further an external agenda.” The full statement, which Rep. Smith’s office provided to Ars, reads as follows:

It was inconvenient for this administration that climate data has clearly showed no warming for the past two decades. The American people have every right to be suspicious when NOAA alters data to get the politically correct results they want and then refuses to reveal how those decisions were made. NOAA needs to come clean about why they altered the data to get the results they needed to advance this administration’s extreme climate change agenda. The agency has yet to identify any legal basis for withholding these documents. The Committee intends to use all tools at its disposal to undertake its Constitutionally-mandated oversight responsibilities.

Now Smith has called out Obama and NOAA as climate extremists manipulating the data for political ends, and not without compelling evidence, this issue now boils down to one single question: “who runs America?” Is it unelected bureaucrats pushing an eco-political agenda with nothing but a thin veneer of “science” to hide their lies and deceit, or is it the duly elected representatives in Congress who have a duty to carry out oversight of these bureaucrats?
