Rick Perry Slander - 'A Substantial Number of Climate Scientists Who Have Manipulated Data'
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry suggested Wednesday that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by scientists who are motivated by cash.
"There are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects," the Texas governor told a group of supporters at the "Politics and Eggs" Breakfast in Bedford, New Hampshire.
"I think we are seeing it almost weekly or even daily, scientists who are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change," Perry added. "Yes, our climate has changed. They been changing for ever since the Earth was formed."
"But I do not buy into a group of scientists, who have been, in some cases, found to be manipulating this information. And the cost to the country and to the world of implementing these anti-carbon programs is in the billions if not trillions of dollars at the end of the day. And I don't think, from my perspective, that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven, and from my perspective, is more and more being put into question."
The American people can't be gullible enough to accept a sub standard D+ student's intellect over scientific scrutiny or inquiry unless the American intellectual standard has devolved to the acceptance of the "g.w.bush" educational insouciance...
Parry may lie because he's stupid. He may lie because he's ignorant. He may lie because he's gullible, but i think he lies because he gets paid big money to lie from special interests.

Like most mealy mouth politicians he hopes you "don't" vote...
pure and simple. Oil companies are paying him to outright lie. Who would pay scientists to say there's global warming caused by humans burning fossil fuels? The big solar panel/ windmill lobby?

Great, a denier in the WH.
A secessionist, polluter apologist, whack job.
So he said that the world's climate has been changing since it was formed. I have two follow up questions to that statement.
1: when was the world formed Billions of years ago, or thousands?
2: by changing do you mean that you believe that the world is EVOLVING?
Sorry, not the same kind of evolving. The kind of evolution you are trying to equate it to requires selective pressure. The 'evolution' of the earth is a non-selective process.
You must be a blast at parties....
Scientist study in the pursuit of knowledge not riches...Unlike politicians who study in the pursuit of riches NOT knowledge...
You be the judge...
Using their massive BRAINS to confuse and mislead us. Math and Science, and FRENCH too were just made up to make regg'ler guys like us feel infeerier.

It goes against the agenda of faith...
In the meantime, the great state of Texas burns under the worst drought and heat wave in its recorded history! YEEEEE-HAWWWW!!!!!
Texas doesn't record history, they make it up and write it.

Rick Perry couldn't be motivated by cash to say this, could he? (in the form of Campaign contributions from Big oil, perhaps?)

So here we have a guy who doesn't understand even the most basic science - third grade stuff, had something like a 1.8 GPA who thinks he understands climate science? That's par for the course for tea-baggers who think a cold day disproves global warming.
Parry understands what they pay him to understand. A dirty rotten scoundrel. You can tell just by watching him in action for one minute.

Hey, he's got proof that scientists manipulate information for money. Got it directly from the doctors at the Tobacco Institute, who assure him it happens all the time.

Got some dox on that? Matey? Looks like you are just talking out of your arse for some bucks.
I would never vote for an anti science guy. FU Perry.

continue to burn oil and send trillions to people who don't like us much. Or we should burn coal and cause the death of tens of thousands. We shouldn't try and find better solutions such as wind and solar power.
I was wondering why scientists all over the world would cook up a hoax of this scale. All that grant money. Yeah, that's a lucrative pursuit that would justify an international conspiracy well funded enough to subvert the entire process of peer review.
Oh, and the rich and powerful wind and solar industry are behind it too. [/snark]
We all know how greedy those scientists can be. Why work on Wall Street and make millions when you can slog through the arctic taking ice core samples for a middle-class salary?
It's a no-brainer right?
Try facts Rick. They help you look smarter.

Its all a big conspiracy.
The aliens have colluded with evil people who studied and got careers in climatology to take over the world.
The first phase is to have a global army of automaton climate scientists manipulate data to look like the Earth is warming due to human activity.
Phase two is to have solar panels and hybrid or electric vehicles implanted everywhere.
The aliens can't control fossil-fuel burning power sources, so once power is predominately generated by solar, wind and cars powered by batteries they will strike!!
So Slick Rick Perry isn't a nut from Texas. He isn't a corrupt politician with insane ideas to enrich his contributors and maintain an unsustainable system. He is an interplanetary HERO!
Only he can see through the conspiracy. He and Lord Monckton, who ironically looks like an alien.
Somewhere..on the internet, is a web page dedicated to that theory.

Someone should remind Perry that gravity is "only a scientific theory" as well. Then persuade him that he should go jump off a 10 story building to prove them dastardly scientists wrong.
It's that sudden stop at the bottom that gets you!

"When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a "huge discrepancy" between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are."

since you keep referring to a discredited article from a financial magazine, written by a LAWYER working for a conservative think tank.
So how many times are you gonna post that article from Forbes until you can begin to grasp the concept its author does not know what the fuck her is talking about?
I will get my scientific analysis from actual scientists, thank you very much.
Here is the kicker; if the scientists are "wrong" we end up with a cleaner planet (Oh, noes! that would be awful). If you and your lawyer friend are "wrong" we end up with an uninhabitable planet for humans. You apparently have trouble deciding what risk to take, which I find amusing...
CTHULHU 2012 "Why vote for a lesser evil?"
So the paid-by-the-corporate-polluters shill says "alarmist climate models" about 15 times in his short piece, but never defines what those models are, or if they are outdated and no longer in use. This tactic of quoting outdated models or using outdated numbers from 15 or 20 years ago is a core tactic of the climate deniers. Once this line of bullshit is debunked by actual science, what will the next denier shell game be?

'Substantial Number' of Texan's 'Manipulating' Data
Mr. Perry wouldn't know scientific fact if it bit him in the ass. Every time this fool opens his mouth I find it hard to imagine he has sense enough to spread butter on toast let alone be a governor.
he didn't buy his post-high school grades from the nerd two floors his dorm room.
Yeah. Right.

what is worse, ignorance or indifference?
I don't know and I don't care!
It's not a "cost." The money still exists, it's just not going into the coffers of the petrochemical industry.
That is literally the only downside to being wrong about climate change.
... who probably shits in bed and kicks it out with his feet... addresses the drought and economy problems in his state with the 21st century equivalent of rain dances by mass prayer to a nonentity deity qualifies now to be a expert on global warming?
What he is an expert on is one of old Abe Lincoln's perspective... "you CAN fool some of the people all of the time." In retrospect those people he fools are just plain stupid.
until he produces a list of these scientists. Every member of the media needs to call him on this.
And btw, I'd like to see his long form BC. Not a copy, want to see the original.

on all those climate change books on the nyt's best seller list, ol' rick caught 'em by the short hairs!
you'll note he did not provide any actual names in his accusation, just unidentified "scientists". there was a good reason for this, to avoid him being sued for defamation of character. hopefully, at some point he'll be challenged on this in public, and asked to provide the names of all those scientists he claims are committing fraud.
Let's see your scientists and review their credentials . . . and employers.

in the WH. I thought we were finally making headway on putting this very dangerous right wing conspiracy to bed. Kinda like the birther BS. These righties just refuse to let things go, regardless of the evidence.
are the sciencetitutes who wrote bogus papers in order to collect the bounty offered by Exxon-Mobile for any paper debunking globl warming.
Rick Perry is going to probably be too slimy even for your average socioipathic GOPer.
Apparently we need a new website called "Perry-ism's" to track the unbelievably bad grammar of yet another Texas Politician. "They been changing for ever since the Earth was formed." Yeah, they been! And they gonna keep on a'changin' even while the people and fish can co-exist. Real proof that the complete dismantling of the education system in Texas, which ranks 47th in literacy and achievement test scores, started while Perry was still in "grammar" school. Or was it the infamous Fundamentalist Apostilistic home-schooling that gave this modern day "prophet" his unique take on the English language?

The D student Gov Rick Perry says scientists "manipulated data" on global warming, then calls for a "prayer vigil for rain." I think it's easy to see who is dealing with reality and who is delusional. No question about it. Science over stupidty every time I say.
Woody McBreairty
That sort of a statement from a man who just held a PRAYER VIGIL to his imaginary deity in Houston, and who said that the way to solve Texas's drought problem was to PRAY.
Both prayer events were utter failures. So, Texas continues to burn while Perry slanders actual scientists.
This is YOUR GOP in action. They are utterly incapable of leading. They hate science. They demand your attention on imaginary deities.
Elect this man to sit in the WH and your nation will collapse into a heap of white trash, gun-toting toothless hillbillies with the closeted gay governor of TX winking at your menfolk.
"Yes, our climate has changed. They been changing for ever since the Earth was formed." and earth as you know is only 5,000 years old
