“I am not a Climate Crook!”
“Watergate is a third-rate burglary attempt and certain elements may try to stretch this beyond what it is.”–Nixon spokesman Ron Ziegler
Senator Barbara “Babs” “Milhaus” “L’il Lady” Boxer:
“You call it ‘Climategate’; I call it ‘E-mail-theft-gate. Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I’m looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public.”
“We may well have a hearing on this, we may not. We may have a briefing for senators, we may not. Part of our looking at this will be looking at a criminal activity which could have well been coordinated. This is a crime.”
Yes, it is; called “whistle-blowing”.
Don’t let the whistle-blowers twist slowly, slowly in the wind, Senator Ma’am.
Update: Was it a crime…or the reporting of a crime?
Ninh-
NOAA want to give us more money for the El Nino work with IGCN.
How much do we have left from the last budget? I reckon most has been spent but we need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip Roger didn’t make and also the fees/equipment/computer money we haven’t spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious. Politically this money may have to go through Simon’s institute but there overhead rate is high so maybe not!
