#NOAAgate: House investigations start into NOAA

Congress is to launch a “House investigations” this week into the researches and top officials from the US National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who recently changed their temperature measurements to show warming.
The action follows the illegal and unconstitutional actions by NOAA refusing a subpoena from their oversight committee demanding to know the internal deliberations that lead up to a supposedly “Groundbreaking” climate study. This study sharply contrasts with satellite data showing no warming for around 18 years and other physical evidence such as the growing Antarctic ice, the normal level of global sea ice and even Greenland surface ice shows an increase from 1990.
But the interviews are not enough to placate the stalwart Chairman of the House Science Committee who are charged with oversight of NOAA. This champion of science: Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex) has stepped up to the mark to put pressure on NOAA to force them to comply with their legal and constitutional duty to submit to oversight and provide the emails.
Lamar wants the thousands of e-mails between researchers and NOAA’s political appointed staff because he believes it will show political meddling in what is supposed to been “science”. Moreover he believes the emails will prove that NOAA changed the way they handle temperature measurement purely to refute the physical evidence showing that global temperature has “paused” for at least a decade  [18 years].
