Science Nominees Blocked by Multiple Holds

by Adrianne Kroepsch, CQ Staff

Multiple senators anonymously blocked the nominations of two top science advisers intended to play a major role in the Obama administration’s climate change policy, delaying their confirmation.

John P. Holdren, nominated to lead the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Jane Lubchenco, picked for undersecretary of Commerce for oceans and atmosphere, had been expected to receive a quick floor vote. They received an amicable confirmation hearing Feb. 12 and plaudits from the science community otherwise.

But Holdren, a Harvard University physicist, and Lubchenco, an Oregon State University marine biologist, may have to undergo an extra round of review, Senate style.”

“Gotta like the people who will take this Global Warming thing to their graves, lol.”

“Since we know man made global warming is a fraud....I say let em in..if we discover they are lying (which they are) they are liable for Malpractice Lawsuits.”

“damn cold out there this morning”

“That little game is over. Hopefully it's possible to make up for all the wasted time while the meathead was in office.”

“So when demand and usage of fosil fuels is down all over the world why is it colder. I quess the Big3 should us that bailout money to buy gas for all that inventory and start um up and letum idol to heat things back up. I'd RUSH out and buy some Kool-aid if you're not gona have NAScar to watch.”

“LOL...Sorry Tilt..its a religion.

The United States has shivered through an unusually severe winter, with snow falling in such unlikely destinations as New Orleans, Las Vegas, Alabama, and Georgia. On Dec. 25, every Canadian province woke up to a white Christmas, something that hadn't happened in 37 years. Earlier this year, Europe was gripped by such a killing cold wave that trains were shut down in the French Riviera and chimpanzees in the Rome Zoo had to be plied with hot tea. Last week, satellite data showed three of the Great Lakes - Erie, Superior, and Huron - almost completely frozen over. In Washington, D.C., what was supposed to be a massive rally against global warming was upstaged by the heaviest snowfall of the season, which paralyzed the capital.

Meanwhile, the National Snow and Ice Data Center has acknowledged that due to a satellite sensor malfunction, it had been underestimating the extent of Arctic sea ice by 193,000 square miles - an area the size of Spain. In a new study, University of Wisconsin researchers Kyle Swanson and Anastasios Tsonis conclude that global warming could be going into a decades-long remission. The current global cooling "is nothing like anything we've seen since 1950," Swanson told Discovery News. Yes, global cooling: 2008 was the coolest year of the past decade - global temperatures have not exceeded the record high measured in 1998, notwithstanding the carbon-dioxide that human beings continue to pump into the atmosphere.

There is no shame in conceding that science still has a long way to go before it fully understands the immense complexity of the Earth's ever-changing climate(s). It would be shameful not to concede it. The climate models on which so much global-warming alarmism rests "do not begin to describe the real world that we live in," says Freeman Dyson, the eminent physicist and futurist. "The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand."

But for many people, the science of climate change is not nearly as important as the religion of climate change. When Al Gore insisted yet again at a conference last Thursday that there can be no debate about global warming, he was speaking not with the authority of a man of science, but with the closed-minded dogmatism of a religious zealot. Dogma and zealotry have their virtues, no doubt. But if we want to understand where global warming has gone, those aren't the tools we need.”

“How much fuel we burning and how has it changed temps? I don't see how either side can claim to know really anything about such a complex issue, but if the economy ,and thus, increased fuel consumption show temps going up ,that will merit a second look. You are spending a lot of time trying to prove your religion here.”

“LOL...Sorry Tilt..its a religion.

What better authority on religion than a religious kook.”

“StemXcellresearchuseignore.”

“Once upon a time there was an ice age. 10,000 years ago, Long Island was under about a mile of ice. Then the cave men started driving Hummers, causing GLOBAL WARMING and Tilt freeked out.

The End”

“HEY lets get closer.....The Little Ice Age....

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES


SUBJECT: Scientific Integrity

Science and the scientific process must inform and guide decisions of my Administration on a wide range of issues, including improvement of public health, protection of the environment, increased efficiency in the use of energy and other resources, mitigation of the threat of climate change, and protection of national security.

The public must be able to trust the science and scientific process informing public policy decisions. Political officials should not suppress or alter scientific or technological findings and conclusions. If scientific and technological information is developed and used by the Federal Government, it should ordinarily be made available to the public. To the extent permitted by law, there should be transparency in the preparation, identification, and use of scientific and technological information in policymaking. The selection of scientists and technology professionals for positions in the executive branch should be based on their scientific and technological knowledge, credentials, experience, and integrity.

By this memorandum, I assign to the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (Director) the responsibility for ensuring the highest level of integrity in all aspects of the executive branch's involvement with scientific and technological processes. The Director shall confer, as appropriate, with the heads of executive departments and agencies, including the Office of Management and Budget and offices and agencies within the Executive Office of the President (collectively, the "agencies"), and recommend a plan to achieve that goal throughout the executive branch.

Specifically, I direct the following:

1. Within 120 days from the date of this memorandum, the Director shall develop recommendations for Presidential action designed to guarantee scientific integrity throughout the executive branch, based on the following principles:

(a) The selection and retention of candidates for science and technology positions in the executive branch should be based on the candidate's knowledge, credentials, experience, and integrity;

(b) Each agency should have appropriate rules and procedures to ensure the integrity of the scientific process within the agency;

(c) When scientific or technological information is considered in policy decisions, the information should be subject to well-established scientific processes, including peer review where appropriate, and each agency should appropriately and accurately reflect that information in complying with and applying relevant statutory standards;

(d) Except for information that is properly restricted from disclosure under procedures established in accordance with statute, regulation, Executive Order, or Presidential Memorandum, each agency should make available to the public the scientific or technological findings or conclusions considered or relied on in policy decisions;

(e) Each agency should have in place procedures to identify and address instances in which the scientific process or the integrity of scientific and technological information may be compromised; and

(f) Each agency should adopt such additional procedures, including any appropriate whistleblower protections, as are necessary to ensure the integrity of scientific and technological information and processes on which the agency relies in its decisionmaking or otherwise uses or prepares.

2. Each agency shall make available any and all information deemed by the Director to be necessary to inform the Director in making recommendations to the President as requested by this memorandum. Each agency shall coordinate with the Director in the development of any interim procedures deemed necessary to ensure the integrity of scientific decisionmaking pending the Director's recommendations called for by this memorandum.

3. (a) Executive departments and agencies shall carry out the provisions of this memorandum to the extent permitted by law and consistent with their statutory and regulatory authorities and their enforcement mechanisms.

(b) Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(c) This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

4. The Director is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

You mean like all the democratic tax evaders in ythe Obama administration?

You can't possibly be that stupid Tilt....so I have to question YOUR integrity”

“1. (a) The selection and RETENTION of candidates for science and technology positions in the executive branch should be based on the candidate's knowledge, credentials, experience, and integrity;


So he'll pick his scientists like T*lt and Y2 pick their scientists?”

“We did find aleast some of the skeletons in these cabinet drawers.”

“LOL...Tilty you um ever read the Constitution of the Soviet Union?

I think what this President says and what he DOES are radically different. Then again..."four legs are good...two legs are better", pretty much explains it all”

“Geez, where did all the power company lawyers go who were gagging scientists and rewriting the conclusions of scientific studies?   Back to Con Ed and The Southern Company?   ROF ROF ROF

Hit the Road, Losers.   The Party's Over.


What about the logging and mining lobbyists "enforcing the law" at the Department of the Interior?

Later!


How about the Jerry Falwell types down at the FDA interferring with reproductive drug approvals?

Bye-bye!   Write if you find work.  Maybe Pat Robertson is hiring.”

“Jerry Falwell Types and FDA...sorry didn't know there were evangelical ministers at the FDA...or is that just a quick "target name" you whipped out during your morning "scrub off" in the Mancave in Mommy's basement?”

“LOL...when religions collide?”

“The Bible, the Quran and The GW need to be traded in for some real science and get the 'well maybe' element out of the equation and into the ancient history comics books.”

“We know where the far left get their 'science' from now:

“LOL..Politicians and Celebrities as experts...”

“TV preachers and AM talk host, you say?”

“movie stars are dingbats, you say?

well, im convinced. theres no global warming, evolution is a lie, and gay marriage should be outlawed”

“Iowa wants early gay business before the next primaries, Gore GW is mostly BS, but evolution explains your outdated thinking.”

“Did your dog tell you that?”

“Gee there crashy um the celebrities and the politicians both got where they were speaking other people's ideas.

Nah that is not the basis for expertiese.

Then again evolution is more or less provable (from fossil evidence) but then the same evidence proves that temps change (totally unrelated to the presence of MAN) and yet THAT evidence is dismissed.

NO Global Smarming or Gorebal Warming is a hoax, it exists for the destruction of Captialisim and so that poor worthless human debris can steal from the producers.”

“Celebrities.
Is there anything they don’t know?
LOL”

““Gee there crashy um the celebrities and the politicians both got where they were speaking other people's ideas

the point is, who gives a flying f uck what the celebutards say? to use their brain droppings as ammunition in the discussion about global warming is stupid

for myself, i dont believe theres conclusive evidence either way. and that has nothing to do with anything gwyneth paltrow or al gore or anyone not in the field has to say”

“that said, the cartoon stovie posted was pretty funny (for once)”

“Well I'll be dipped in sh*t. I would've thought crash was a hard core "burn the grandchildren of the coal mining lobby" global warming advocate.”

“".........it exists for the destruction of Captialisim and so that poor worthless human debris can steal from the producers."

“Apparently the same idiots who don't want the government meddling in their personal bedroom affairs want the government in their bedroom if it's concerning the hot tub or the lighting. The 648 page climate bill has a lot of eyebrow raising material in it just like that--- but the dolts we elected most likely will not read it, so don't anticipate hearing about any of this in the news.”

“the dolts we elected most likely will not read it

did you read it?”

“whatever comrade!”

“did you?”

“no. what i thought. so stfu about it”
