I don’t know how you the reader respond to some of the things that arise out of the mirth of the Man of Spin’s mind, but as I am typing on my keyboard, I have got to say, that header made me giggle like a little school girl!

Go on then, call me a blouse, there’s no need to go there… as he breaks out into… Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me!… All better now!

We at CNNZ try to bring you the news the way it should be… with a smile… and a bucket after those last few lines!

Speaking of subjects that are wont to make you run for a bucket, recent times have not been good for the warming express, as the hole has seemingly appeared in their bucket dear reader, dear reader… with their heated exchanges, suffering from somewhat of a stroke!

Many will perceive that I do not drink the kool-ing aid, Gore style, anyway, and over the time that I read a large amount of material on the idea of AGW, many of the things that have come out recently, were already being referenced, which, since the CRU email “release,” it seems more people are completing due diligence and fact-checking what is being written, said, and claimed, in regard to man’s impact on God’s still reasonably green earth!

In the US scene, one individual who has taken more hits than most, is Senator James Inhofe, who has been a constant whistle blower in this context, for those who would be regarded as more skeptical… or if you prefer, the oil-bought shrilling liars!

On the Minority site of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Inhofe’s team has consistently put up material highlighting various aspects connected with this modern day marvel, and very recently, he has put up another resource that may be very useful, in light of recent events!

However, before we get to there, here are a couple of video interviews with Sen. Inhofe, just before the release of this document, with Ed Morrissey from Hot Air…

This sets the scene for an 84 page PDF, with the title, United States Senate Report – “Consensus” Exposed: The CRU Controversy.  To set the scene, here are the three quotes near the beginning of this document…

?The truth is that promoting science isn‘t just about providing resources—it‘s about protecting free and open inquiry. It‘s about ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics. It‘s about listening to what our scientists have to say even when it‘s inconvenient—especially when it‘s inconvenient. — President Barack Obama, December 20, 2008

?The two MMs have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hearthere is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather thansend to anyone. Does your similar act in the US force you to respond to enquiries within 20 days? – ours does ! The UK works on precedents, so the first request will test it. We also have a data protection act, which I will hide behind. — Phil Jones, former director of the University of East Anglia?s Climatic Research Unit, February 2, 2005

?It’s no use pretending that this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from theclimatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. . . . I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them. . . . I was too trusting of some of those who provided the evidence I championed. I would have been a better journalist if I had investigated their claims more closely. — George Monbiot, columnist, The Guardian

Whatever your position on this controversial subject that tends to bring more heat than light into the world of ideas, I suggest you read the report, as it will provide much food-for-thought, particularly in light of the recent revelations!

You can find the document… HERE!

After you have read the report, I would be interested in your thoughts!
