Voice of the beehive

Professor Nigel V.H. Oldham, speaking to Iowahawk Geographic, explains a "violent data dance" is what makes climate researchers an unique breed of scientists.

Like other species in the order homo scientifica, the climate researcher gathers and organizes data to lure grant money to the hive. In contrast to those other species, however, the climate researcher has evolved a set of complex violent behaviors to insure any data leaving the hive is perfectly adapted to nature's most lucrative and sweetest grants. It really is a marvel of natural selection, and explains why the climate researcher continues to thrive in any kind of weather condition.

Much more about this branch of homo scientifica at the link.

Less funny: The Competitive Enterprise Institute filed three Notices of Intent to File Suit against NASA and its Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) for failing to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.. For three years.

The information sought is directly relevant to the exploding “Climategate” scandal revealing document destruction, coordinated efforts in the U.S. and UK to avoid complying with both countries’ freedom of information laws, and apparent and widespread intent to defraud at the highest levels of international climate science bodies.

Flea-readers unfamiliar with NASA may be fascinated to learn the organization used to be involved with advanced space research science, exploration and engineering. Thanks to the Frankfurt School and a Nietzschean transvaluation of values, NASA is now a thriving New Age cult.
