Here’s how the stimulus money is being used:
The latest example of this is a $500,000 grant to Michael Mann, Professor at Penn State University and unintended c0-star of the ClimateGate e-mail scandal. The leaked e-mails revealed collaboration among scientists to stifle dissenting views on the extent of man-made global warming.
Mann is also the creator of the “Hockey Stick” graph, which purported to show a sharp increase in recent temperatures. That work has been thoroughly discredited by researcher Stephen McIntyre. Yet, in June 2009, the National Science Foundation awarded Mann a three-year $500,000 to further study the climate’s response to human activity.
A well trained grunt with a M40A3 and 1 round can make Mr. Mann’s carbon footprint very small, very quickly. Even after he is given the “best protection” available.
And if this had been a Republican administration, this would be on every news outlet 24/7. But as usual, it will be ignored and the Democrats get yet another pass.
I’m not surprised. $500,000 is a small price to pay an alarmist to keep the AGW crisis alive so that you will spend less time thinking about not having a Job. As Al Gore said,
“As many know, the Chinese expression for “crisis” consists of two characters side by side. The first is the symbol for “danger,” the second the symbol for “opportunity.”
Re: Congressional Testimony on Climate Change by Al Gore
Point #1
The wing nuts and deniers are going to shout “Obama is bad”. “Obama is a Muslim”.
Point #2
The deniers are going to shout “Mann lied and MacIntyre and McKitterick refuted him. The established science is all a hoax.” “Us ignorant ijits know better”
Point #3
Cherman/pedro will interject to show their ignorance.
But it’s only about the science, not the money. Riiiiiight!
#4 Time for your meds, conFused sheeple. Specially since the sky is falling and that stresses you so much.
Funny how it wasn’t a conspiracy when big oil was picking up the tab for research.

End of quote.
Cherman, you have a very short memory. How short? Drop your pants and you will see how short it is.
We went through this “Stephen McIntyre” crap once before. Please go to this link to get the straight dope on your friend, Cherman.
If you read the article you will see that Stephen McIntyre is a discredited asshole!!
Cherman, please go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The term “Deniers” is politically motivated, meant to discredit opposing views without having to address them.
Carbon Credits are just a way of cashing in on the issue.
Climate-gate show they were cooking the numbers.
Copenhagen showed its more about political power than the environment.
Regardless of the accuracy or even the legitimacy of “global warming” the actions by the proponents of the issue are doing more damage to the issues credibility than the opposition could have ever done.
The Real Inconvenient Truth
Yes Obamaforever “The science is in!”
#7 Retardedforever: Are you being paid part from those 500.000? If not, please go away, brainless sheeple.

of life)
per #10
pedro, I do not think English is your first
language.
You write like you think—fucked-up!!!
#8, Big Boy,
Perhaps you could enlighten us. What numbers were cooked?
It is a real inconvenient truth that the deniers have to resort to fabrications.
#8 You said it first.
Poor wingnuts, struggling so with the shades of gray inherent in science. They just want to be told what to believe!
Fusion, how many times do you have to be told? Geez.
The hockey stick graph was cooked. Once again, here is the comparison of the hockey stick graph with the true graph.
A grant is not just a paycheck with no strings attached. It is money that is to be used to further research. It is spent on doing the research not buy a new house or anything.
#15, jccalhoun;
Shhh! Quiet, you! Your logic doesn’t fit into the deniers’ world view!
JCD,
You might want to take a look at how your friends and colleagues are laughing at you and mocking you publicly for your stance on global warming.
Take a listen to Leo Laporte and Dr Maxwell in their ‘Dreamliner’ episode. Or what Dr Kiki has to say… it is obvious that asfar as they are concerned you have crossed the line from clownish cranky out of touch old fart to just plain contrarian loon.
#11 So a sheeple moron that writes in “dear abby” letter form tells me I’m I write like fucked up. That is hilarious, specially knowing that you’re retarded…forever.
#14 Poor sheeple trying unsuccessfully to hide the inconvenient truth about the global warming scam. Most pathetic is that he does it for free. A real true-believer sheeple!
#15 So he deosn’t get any monetary compensation from that grant? Really? Just another sheeple.
#17 I see there’s no awaking you. If there’s someone here that is the laughing stock in this blog is you. You still have the eggshells of that last blunder you did here http://www.dvorak.org/blog/2010/01/04/cell-phone-video-of-shooting-in-las-vegas/ on your face and you still have the balls to criticize others? Shameless asleep sheeple.
What gets me is that this guy is being paid in stimulus money. Isn’t that supposed to go toward ‘shovel-ready’ jobs and other unemployment-reducing schemes?
Seems to me that 500K would be enough to hire 10 or 20 people to fill potholes for a year.
