| To No Great Surprise, The East Anglia Auditor Is Conflicted |
| 2010-03-25 |
| The peer leading the second Climategate enquiry at the University of East Anglia serves as a director of one of the most powerful environmental networks in the world, according to Companies House documents - and has failed to declare it. Lord Oxburgh, a geologist by training and the former scientific advisor to the Ministry of Defence, was appointed to lead the enquiry into the scientific aspects of the Climategate scandal on Monday. But Oxburgh is also a director of GLOBE, the Global Legislators Organisation for a Balanced Environment. GLOBE may be too obscure to merit its own Wikipedia entry, but that belies its wealth and influence. It funds meetings for parliamentarians worldwide with an interest in climate change, and prior to the Copenhagen Summit GLOBE issued guidelines for legislators. |

| #3 The University of Tennessee takes its football as seriously as a heart attack maybe more so. Lane Kiffin, the last head coach left after one year taking much of his staff with him. Needless to say the local fans were talking tar and feathers and finding a rope. Recently, Al Gore got an honorary doctorate from UT for his global warming scam. I got a chuckle this morning concerning a letter to the editor in the local newspaper that was headed: "UT degree to Kiffin makes more sense." |
