The EPA’s leading expert on climate change deserves to go to prison for at least 30 months for lying.

John C. Beale, who pled guilty in September to bilking the government over a decade, will be sentenced in a Washington, D.C., federal court on Wednesday. In a newly filed sentencing memo, prosecutors said that his lies were a "crime of massive proportion" that were “offensive”.

Beale’s lawyer, while acknowledging his guilt, has asked for leniency and offered a psychological explanation for the climate expert’s bizarre tales.

ALL of the lying liar bastards who lied about man caused global warming in order to further their research grants or otherwise make money from this fraudulent nonsense (Al Gore being first on the list) should be drug into the town square, horsewhipped and locked into the stocks for the general ridicule and derision of the populace they deceived.

This changes absolutely nothing about climate science,
Of course not, you have an agenda he fit into your agenda, he got busted for lying, that doesn't change your agenda. Bilbo I hope the gun shops aren't selling you any ammo because I have a feeling you're about to explode with all the facts coming out showing man made global warming was nothing but an agenda.
#33899
No, I simply have all of science on my side, Objectivity, empiricism, rational contested and reviewed observation and argumentation among a huge community of people who actually know what they are talking about and who will slit each others throats to prove each other wrong.

You have, well, nothing more than denial based on wishful malevolent thinking.

Science vs denial of science. End of story.
#33906
Dildo, you have proven time and again on every topic beloved by loony, lefty libtards that you are a willfully duped and deluded, true believer, Useful Idiot of the first rank. Facts and observation mean nothing in the face of the official Party Line. Continue to hew wood and carry water for your masters, charge the machine guns and throw yourself on the barbed wire if that is what they require of you. They depend on good little Useful Idiot tools like yourself.
#33909
Liberal, why yes I am liberal. I am also much more conservative than you. It's a matter of what is objectively rational for each case.

Economics: I am a conservative free market capitalist. Anti-Lassiez Fair capitalist, anti-corporatist, anti-fascist, (all the same thing). This requires government regulation to insure that we have real free market capitalism, not industry controlled markets. It requires regulation of natural monopolies and oligopolies. It requires breaking up corporate control of markets. It requires truth in advertising and full disclosure of all important information on products. We have a government that gives all power to the corporations at their request. Thus, outside small businesses, we have little free market capitalism.

Individual freedoms, equality, liberty: progressive liberal. Equality, liberty, and opportunity for all. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Anti-prejudice, anti-racist. Individual choice. No more "war on drugs", rather effectively treating drug users with problems. It's cheaper and more effective. Prohibition never works. Put more executives in jail for their real crimes, ( theft, fraud, market manipulation, gambling, extortion, etc ) which really hurt the population

Strong, correct sized, equipped, and correctly targeted military and police. No more bullshit spending on unnecessary military projects to support congressional needs.

Rational, effective regulation of weapons. Tagging all ammunition to make it traceable to manufacturer/importer, distribute, and store. (now prohibited by a NRA sponsored law) Clip limits. Ban on all military type weapons. Universal background checks to own any semi-automatic weapon. Real limits on ammunition purchases. Identification and voluntary treatment of any person who clearly has a violent nature.

The real question is: why aren't you?
#33915
This requires government regulation to insure that we have real free market capitalism
A direct contradiction of terms. You cannot have government control of the free market. That makes it NOT a free market. IDIOT.
Individual freedoms
But only those freedoms you agree with. The Second Amendment does not qualify in your socialist world. IDIOT.
Anti-prejudice, anti-racist.
Your posts clearly reveal you to be both prejudiced and a racist. IDIOT.
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Except the life of the unborn. Kill them and flush them down the toilet. And you would only permit perusing happiness in officially governmentally approved ways clearly defined by the Central Planners. IDIOT.
Strong, correct sized, equipped, and correctly targeted military
As defined by whom? You and the delusional, naive idiot "Bath House" Barry? Who would bend over and spread 'em for any third world despot (especially if they were muzzie)? Should the military be able to meet any threat, anywhere, or just be what Clinton desired, a delivery system for meals on wheels during natural disasters? IDIOT.
Rational, effective regulation of weapons.
Again, as defined by whom, you? No thanks. We know how your version of regulation works, a pathway to confiscation. Besides, what part of, "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" do you not understand? IDIOT.
Tagging all ammunition to make it traceable to manufacturer/importer, distribute, and store.
Cost prohibitive. Which is your intent all along. Make ammunition too expensive for the average person to buy. Which of course, will not prevent criminals from obtaining it. Another idiot liberal idea. You idiot liberals never think things all the way through. IDIOT.
Clip limits
They aren't "clips" they are magazines. Another meaningless regulation promoted by idiot liberals who do not understand that the tool is not the problem. The psycho using it is. IDIOT.
Ban on all military type weapons
Again, as defined by whom? You? No thanks. You would define everything as some amorphous "military style." A pistol grip, bayonet lug or flash supressor (BTW you idiot, the flash supressor is designed to prevent the shooter from being blinded by the muzzle flash) or black color does not make a firearm evil. IDIOT.
Universal background checks to own any semi-automatic weapon. Real limits on ammunition purchases.
There is already in place, and supported by the NRA, instant background checks on the purchase of ANY firearm. Why are semi auto firearms so frightening to liberals? The two Columbine shooters used double barrel shotguns. The person misusing the weapon is evil, not the weapon. What limits? Two rounds a week? Again, we know what your ilk is up to with your "reasonable" sounding but undefined "limits"
You are not going to tell me what I want or need. Again, what part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" do you not understand? IDIOT.
Identification and voluntary treatment of any person who clearly has a violent nature
Who shall identify these people? And are you nice liberals going to talk them into being "voluntarily" treated? If it is determined that they are a menace to themselves and society, will your ACLU stay out of the way of treatment and detention in a mental facility, or will they file suit to release them into the public? IDIOT.

The real question is: Why are you such a fucking idiot? Go back to your home country and change things there.

Man made global warming's biggest mouth piece sentenced to 32 months! :lol:
When you tell lies for a living, it can be hard to stop. That was the problem faced by John C. Beale, who was paid to be an ecoscammer for the EPA, so he decided to lie about not doing the job that was a lie. Everyone at the EPA believed him, because they had lied so much that they lost the ability to tell apart lies from the truth. Beale went into full gear under Obama fabricating one lie after another to support man made global warming narratives. Beale found that the more lies he told, the less he had to support the logic behind his lies as long as those lies supported the global warming agenda.

Judge Ellen Huvelle, who sentenced Beale questioned Beale’s work for the government. These include helping to rewrite the Clean Air Act, heading up EPA delegations to United Nations conferences on climate change, and helping to negotiate agreements to reduce carbon emissions with China, India and other nations. Judge Huvelle felt the Government was partially to blame by allowing Beale's fabrication of grandiose narratives such as cow flatulence endangering the planet to go unquestioned.
#33956
Rebut what facts, and why. Beale is going to jail. He should, and for much longer than he was given. His hiring boss Brenner should also go to jail.
Brenner? He committed his crimes under and with the assistance of the current EPA Chief Gina McCarthy who was appointed by Obama. So I take you call on McCarthy to be jailed? The Obama Administration rewarded and took care of this guy because he supported their carbon tax agenda.
There were eye-popping expense reports he was filing were approved without question by his direct supervisor Gina McCarthy who has since been promoted to EPA Chief by Obama (In its extensive coverage of the scandal, The Washington Post has noted that the EPA failed at such basics as comparing “Beale’s travel vouchers, which said he was in places such as Boston and Seattle, with hotel receipts and other expense reports for the same dates that showed him in Bakersfield, Calif., where he has family.”) The IG questioned the expenses and pointed out discrepancies but for unknown reasons McCarthy approved them anyway. The IG also pointed out that Beale’s retention bonuses pushed his pay above the legal limit. Agency officials including McCarthy were notified in 2010 but did nothing to fix the problem. Indeed, the agency was so lax in its oversight that Beale ostensibly retired in September 2011—complete with a farewell dinner cruise on the Potomac—only to continue pulling a paycheck for another 19 months. Ultimately, it was this phony retirement that brought him down when, in March 2012, now-EPA chief Gina McCarthy, formerly Beale’s direct boss, kept him on the payroll after the retirement party she herself had attended.
#33968
Climate deniers trying to make more out of this case than it is. Nothing new in that. Just the usual climate denier distortions and lies. Wait, see some real facts and we may see something more than an employee bilking their employer, but not so far. So far, just the lies of climate deniers hoping to make something out of nothing to do with climate science.
#33977
Notice how Blibo is defending the criminal's direct boss Gina McCarthy who enabled him to commit the crimes but wants to jail someone who had nothing to do with it. McCarthy helped him commit the crimes for years and even continued to give him bonus her own IG said were against the law. When the IG finally went public since McCarthy was going nothing to stop his Government pay even though he was retired, McCarthy pulls a Sebelius and a Hillary...I'm going to have my department investigate this. :lol:

The bitch needs to be in jail.
#33995
Notice how justupid continues in total ignorance of any facts to accuse someone.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

Then, their is his lie that I am defending her. Please, point out the defense. Oh, it's not there. Just another, usual justupid lie. It's his one and only strategy. Make shit up, bigoted shit, and propagate. It's all he's got. It's so boring.

Investigation will show. There are in fact more heads in this. Maybe, we will find out.

Please ignore that Beale was hired by a Republican manager at the EPA.

Galileo was hauled before the Inquisition because they felt they knew the facts and the "reviewed" expertise of the mighty furrowed brows of established science.

Of course, as Galileo said, "Eppur si muove."

The entire history of math and science is a history of false certitude.

Euclid was accepted for century after century...until it became clear he was incomplete and largely wrong.

Newton was the monarch of all he gazed upon intellectually...until Riemann and Einstein and others proved his views horribly incomplete.

When somebody says he has found The Final Truth, and every scholar accepts it, it is proper and healthy to be skeptical.
#34045
Galileo was against a religious/commercial/political autocracy. Much the same as climate science is against a religious/industrial/political autocracy. Both autocracies trying to suppress real objective empirical science.

That you little wannabe faux for revealing that.
#34063
Of course, that's not what I said at all, and any person capable of a shred of intellectual nuance would see that.

The whole history of science has been a series of examples of the Establishment arriving at a conventional wisdom which was later, empirically, proven wrong.

Thus reasonable people should remain skeptical, not rush headlong into false certitude about any new theory.

Time may prove it out. Or not.

Dildo says, "Warmest November in recorded history"

Really? What about this:
Over 2000 cold and snow records set in the USA this past week
Quite an imbalance in weather records this week. Even the AGU fall meeting in San Francisco where the best and brightest global warming scientists were meeting was surrounded by record (such as 25F in San Jose Dec 9th) and near record setting low temperatures, though the irony was lost on many of them.
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/12/13/o ... past-week/

Or this:

Published: Dec. 13, 2013 Updated: 3:39 p.m.

Mark Landsbaum: Climate alarmists' search for proof going cold
Recall global warming hysteria’s halcyon days? Just 13 years ago, Dr. David Viner, senior scientist at Britain’s University of East Anglia’s climatic research unit, confidently predicted that, within a few years, winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event.”

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
Article Tab: image1-Mark Landsbaum: Climate alarmists' search for proof going cold
MCT ILLUSTRATION

Of course, that doesn’t mesh with what happened. This past October, the UK Express headlined, “Worst winter for decades: Record-breaking snow predicted for November.”

By the end of November, Brits were shivering, “as Britain faces snow, ice and plummeting temperatures,” reported the Mirror newspaper. “Most of Scotland has been issued severe weather warnings for ice, and temperatures are expected to remain low, causing problems with snow and ice across the country.” Winter yet lay ahead.

We shouldn’t pick on Great Britain. There is plenty of global warming foolishness here at home. Recall James Hansen, global warming guru whose alarmist campaign was underwritten by his NASA paycheck. By the 2020s, Hansen predicted in 1986, the U.S. average annual temperature would rise 9 degrees Fahrenheit, or more, and up to 3 degrees by the 2010s.

A funny thing happened on the way to the 2010s and 2020s. It didn’t get so hot. In fact, depending on which data set you use, it probably has cooled down for 17 years.
You man caused global warming hysterics are looking more and more foolish every day.
#34133
15 years ago they made dire predictions of where we would be by 2013, NONE of those predictions happened, in fact if anything the planet has cooled. Global warming predictions proved to all be wrong, the fact it was pure hysteria as part of an agenda is settled. The world is going through it's normal cycles and there's not a damn thing man can do about it.
#34134
Back in the '70s the parents of the current crop of hysteria mongers were giving us dire warnings of the impending ice age. They predicted that by this time we would all be covered by an ice shelf and human life would be impossible unless we did something RIGHT NOW!
Epic Fail.
#34161
Back in the '70s the parents of the current crop of hysteria mongers were giving us dire warnings of the impending ice age.
ABSOLUTELY WRONG. We have discussed this before. In the very earliest climate models the prediction WAS global cooling. It was also presented by climate scientists as essentially meaningless, of extremely low statistical significance in a early version of a model that was understood to be clearly unreliable. A prototype model. It was also true that much of that cooling prediction was based on a trend in industrial gasses that have since had highly significant reduction in industrial emissions.

Yes, you can make big lies out of little sound bites chosen to support a completely invalid position. All it takes is a willingness to not understand anything about which you are talking.
#34238
Bilbo, if you really do subscribe to Scientific American, go back and read over what I've posted on this topic.

I don't have the slightest idea whether anthropogenic global warming is correct qua theory. Or not. Nor does anybody else here.

What I've done is invite attention to what is beyond all dispute in the history of science, which reduces essentially to a series of instances of false certitude.

My position -- inviting further empiricism -- is utterly and undeniably consistent with the history of science.
#34292
Sorry little wannabe faux. There simply is no longer any controversy in the scientific community. No scientist has been able to raise any real significant issue or prove anything wrong with the theory or it's application. There have been no peer review articles in any real scientific journal in well over a decade. Every issue brought up by deniers has been addressed and proved either wrong or irrelevant (that is true, but has no effect or the effect has already been accounted, is part of the scientific theory).

Every major society of any standing has already accepted all the basic tenets and findings of the theory, including the weather societies and the oil production/industry societies.

The only controversy is in the political arena and is purely political, non-scientific. It is purely the ignorant and the dishonest who continue the denial.

It's simply NOT an issue in science. Just in bullshit.
#34295
Every major society of any standing has already accepted all the basic tenets and findings of the theory, including the weather societies and the oil production/industry societies.
Yes everyone has accepted that the theory weather and climate has and will change. No one has presented any evidence that man can control the weather or climate by our actions, not even increasing taxes will change the course mother nature will be taking. :lol:
#34308

-Dildo.

Absolutely WRONG!
A few years ago I was channel surfing and came across an episode of NOVA, the PBS pseudo (this used to be another of Dildo's favorite words) scientific program, originally aired sometime back in the early '70s (I have mentioned this program here before). It was narrated by Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock from the Star Trec series). He informed the viewers in the most dire terms imaginable that, unless we did something RIGHT NOW, the North American continent as far south as Phoenix would (by now, according to their time line) be covered by an ice shelf 11 feet thick. How they arrived at such an odd number as 11 feet was not revealed.

This was the conventional wisdom among the pointed headed pseudo (there's Dildo's word again!) intellectuals (who depend on generating fear and hysteria to justify their research grants) at the time and Dildo, from his home in Bumfuckistan, was not privy to propaganda TV programs from the United States, nor was he born yet. Dildo thinks that anything that happened before he was born does not count.

The predicted ice age did not materialize and the hysteria over man caused global warming is being further de-bunked on a daily basis. Dildo has so much currency invested in stridently insisting on this myth that he cannot back down and has to stamp his little foot and insist, in the face of mounting incontrovertible evidence that the entire man caused global warming scam is just that, a scam, that he is right dammit, SO THERE!
#34314
There was a time when those who lied to the public for personal gain would be punished, now they just change their hussle when caught. Now that they've milked the coming ice age and man made global warming for all they can get out of them...what next? It has to be something that threatens massive amounts of lives across the world and something that can't be proven either way or it won't even last as long as the man made global warming hussle did.
#34315
Global warming deniers are no different than the smokers who were in denial back in the 60s when scientific evidence proved that smoking causes cancer. At times ideology hijacks science. Even Glenn Beck admitted people are significant contributors to climate change and that you have to be an idiot not to notice it. Is it suprising that conservatives are brainwashed idiots...
#34318
Even Glenn Beck admitted people are significant contributors to climate change
During last week's interview about his new book, Kathie Lee Gifford asked Glenn Beck concerning his thoughts on man caused global warming; Glenn Beck responded "Oh I know it's true, just look at all the hot air coming from the Obama Administration, that heat has to go somewhere. Now if you're ask me if I believe in global warming, why yes there was a period most feel there was a warming period but in recent years we've seen a cooling trend, nature is following it's path and humans are just spectators"
