Man who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore now in charge of US Commerce Department’s new climate change office
Get a load of Thomas Karl, the scientist who has been put in charge of the Commerce Department’s new climate change office:
Thomas Karl, 58, was appointed to oversee the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center, an ambitious new office that will collect climate change data and disseminate it to businesses and communities.
According to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, the office will “help tackle head-on the challenges of mitigating and adapting to climate change. In the process, we’ll discover new technologies, build new businesses and create new jobs.”
Karl, who has played a pivotal role in key climate decisions over the past decade, has kept a low profile as director of National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) since 1998, and he has led all of the NOAA climate services since 2009. His name surfaced numerous times in leaked “climate-gate” e-mails from the University of East Anglia, but there was little in the e-mails that tied him to playing politics with climate data. Mostly, the e-mails show he was in the center of the politics of climate change decisions.
According to a school biography published by Northern Illinois University, Karl shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore and other leading scientists based on his work at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and he was “one of the 10 most influential researchers of the 1990s who have formed or changed the course of research in a given area.”
Did you expect any less from Barack Obama?

Strange what sort of “people” Marxists are willing to get in bed with.
Talk about the Lion and the Lamb,it’s more like frankenstine the virgin and the working dead.
CHOSEN Capitalists make $ Billions,Marxists make the world of their image,and the Vassels make it for “Them both”.
Politicians never had shame or morals ,and now we find they have no BRAINS or common decency for their electorate.
Tops or Bottoms they are all queer!. and very convenient with the truth.
…gee, I wonder what he will find!?
