NOAA Scientist Admits White House Created Gulf Oil Spill Report Not the NOAA

What a stunner.
The White House already got caught fudging a bogus report to get their oil drilling moratorium but that didn’t stop them from trying it again. A NOAA scientist admitted yesterday that the latest report on the Gulf oil disaster was created by the White House not the NOAA.
Canada Free Press reported:
A NOAA scientist, Dr. Bill Lehr, yesterday told a group of Congressional staff investigators on a conference call that a controversial National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report claiming that nearly three-quarters of the oil from the Gulf oil spill has already been addressed was released by White House officials and not scientists at NOAA.
The NOAA scientist told congressional investigators that the data backing up the assertions made in the report is still unavailable and that peer review of the report is still not complete. Officials at an August 4 White House press briefing had said that the report had been thoroughly peer reviewed.
“This is yet another in a long line of examples where the White House’s pre-occupation with the public relations of the oil spill has superseded the realities on the ground. It is deeply troubling that White House officials apparently preempted the completion and review of a scientific study on the oil spill by NOAA scientists in order to tout conclusions that many experts believe may be deeply flawed,” said Rep. Issa referring to an August 4 White House press briefing focused on the report. “This irresponsible action only adds to the perception that the Obama White House is more concerned about appearing competent than actually making sure the massive oil spill in the Gulf gets cleaned-up as quickly as possible. I will certainly be demanding the White House name those responsible for releasing this report, why it was released before it was complete, and whether its controversial conclusions have led to changes in Gulf clean-up efforts.”

NOAA is exposed as being just another corrupt political tool of the global warming cabal, not a respectable scientific authority.
“Respected American physicist, Dr Charles R. Anderson has waded into the escalating Satellitegate controversy publishing a damning analysis on his blog…Anderson’s findings corroborate my own that NOAA sought to cover up the ‘sensor degradation’ on their satellite, NOAA-16. The U.S. physicist agrees there may now be thousands of temperatures in the range of 415-604 degrees Fahrenheit automatically fed into computer climate models and contaminating climate models with a substantial warming bias. This may have gone on for a far longer period than the five years originally identified.
Anderson continues, ‘One has to marvel at either the scientific incompetence this reveals or the completely unethical behavior of NOAA and its paid researchers that is laid open before us.’”

Science and Government in collusion against We the people.

It seems that Obama doesn’t want anything interfering with his next round of vacations. The Kneepad Media will dutifully report that the oil spill crisis is over and Obama victorious.

The surprising part is that none of this surprises me.
Neo commented:
In his first weeks in the White House, President Obama ordered his advisors to develop rules to “guarantee scientific integrity throughout the executive branch.” That’s one guarantee that is obviously worthless.
Neo commented:
On further review …
… it only says “should” and not “shall” which would imply 100% compliance.
Damn lawyers.

Keep a close eye on Tuttle and his Capstone Turbine corporation.
How is it that so many dead mineral royalty owners can still wake up, cash their checks, purchase shares in “green energy” companies and contribute to Democrats every election?
Strange….
