John Riis-Christensen: How liberals manipulate climate data to scare ‘Chicken Littles’

Let’s take a look at how the government makes global warming sound real. As you know from prior predictions from global-warming theorists, the Arctic sea ice was supposed to be long gone by now. The poor old polar bear missing from the planet and sea levels so high that coastal cities would be under water. Seems to me I read something like that before, oh yeah “Chicken Little.”

Let’s get to the government and global warming? They are manipulating global temperature data to make it fit what they want it to say. NASA tampered with a data graph because it didn’t fit the government mantra of this decade being the hottest in history. How do you do that? Well when you find that the 1930s were actually the hottest decade – you know the one with the dust bowl and all that stuff – you just remove it from the graph and, lo and behold, it changes the picture to show what you want it to show. Then you manipulate the data so it changes the real evidence of a cooling trend and make it a warming trend. Wow! Now we have the second biggest fraud perpetrated against the American people since political correctness. Don’t ya just luv liberals.
