During the CLimategate email scandal, it was revealed that the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK had obtained custody of the UK's historical temperature records and that those numbers had been "adjusted" as part of their studies. University officials later acknowledged that they did not know if original unadjusted copies of those historical records even still existed. This is just one more example of the manipulation of data for ideological purpuses that is ongoing with the climate alarmists.

Noticed that Greg Murphy is NOT on the list of 19 that voted against the bill. Really does not surprise me in the least his voting record speaks for itself.

Perhaps a better definition of CR should be "Caving Republicans." Agreed, working with a very thin majority is most difficult but our Republican representatives have been caving for years and years to get us into this mess. A 34 TRILLION DOLLAR debt is the result of concession after concession after concession. Where will it ever end? Future generations are being encumbered with extreme (unfair) debt due to the vast stupidity and self-centeredness of politicians who care more about the next election cycle than the next generation. SHUT IT DOWN!

I used to run into Pete when I was a GOP delegate to the 3rd congressional district. We got to hang out a bit along the way and I came to appreciate him as a true American patriot!

Not too long ago, ECU med school was promoting this genital mutilation of children.

Giving gender confused children drugs that permanent screw up their bodies or cutting off their genitals is what I would call "treating them like crap." What needs to be done is to counsel them on growing out of their gender confusion so that they will be comfortable in their correct biological gender.

Given their manipulation of data revealed in the Climategate email dump, this is not at all surprising. The climate alarmists will fudge whatever they have to in order to push their narrative and agenda. "Hide the decline" as they said in those Climategate emails.

Another good example is looking at where their significant increases in temperature come from, and those are the weather stations that in years past were in rural areas that have now bcome urbanized. The increased temperatures come from the change in surroundings, not "climate change".

One symbol of climate alarmist manipulation was Michael Mann's hockety stick chart, which was a major exhibit in one of the UN reports but disappeared thereafter. What happened was that a Canadian mining engineer wondered about Mann's chart and asked for the supporting data, which Mann refused to give him (a suspicious move in science itself). The mining engineer then tried to go through other sources at the university where Mann taught to obtain the supporting data. Finally a graduate student who had worked on the project gave him the website address with all the raw data. The mining engineer was then able to see that Mann had cherry picked data to come up with a predetermined conclusion and blew the whistle on it.

Mann has been tied to at least one other major fabrication, a study showing rising temperatures in Anarctica. Mann's study was based on temperature averages, but on that one the raw data was readily available, and it blew up Mann's theory. All but one of the reporting stations had maintained a steady temperature, and what threw the average off was a single reporting station, and that changed dramatically between two years. It turned out that the siting of that reporting station had been moved at the time the readings changed dramatically. The old location of that station had consistently had cooler readings and the new location, which kept the same name, consistently higher readings. So Mann's whole study was garbagte.

Mann once taught in Virginia, and the state Attorney General had once opened an investigation on him for obtaining grant money based on bogus studies. Thereafter, Mann moved to another state.

Fact: The earth is heating due to fossil fuel emissions.
The implications of that fact are up for debate and people all over the world do so everyday. CT and his opposing views included.

Unfortunately, he is either a paid influencer or is deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, which makes anyone who chooses that route, look like an idiot.
Take your pick.

People often have diverse opinions. I have a wide range of opinions from conservative to liberal. That’s why I consider myself middle of the road. I’m not beholden to what’s popular. I hate group think. I think for myself and can stand up to those who think I should sit down.
For those reasons I could never be in the MAGA cult. MAGA means tow the line or your out. Well I’m not in and this is my country too.

Your "come for my rights" line only made sense if you were a naturalized citizen, as a citizen by birth does not have to answer questions about their involvement with subversive causes. So it turns out that your comment was just blather, beating your chest about something that did not even apply to you.

Your opinion on Hamas terrorism happens to be the opinion of the far left, not of the "middle of the road". I wonder what your opinion will be when the Muslim terrorists start striking here in the US?

Again, Bob, you are pushing the stock positions of the Hamas apologists, and you have sidestepped the question about whether you are yourself a naturalized citizen. Your responses below seem to imply it.
