Wait a minute, you mean that what the Virginia Attorney General is looking to confirm or deny (as are we) actually happens? With papers touted by the UN’s vaunted, Nobel-winning IPCC? In very shady circumstances? Wha?
Quick, rush to protect the University of Virginia from having to comply with the law! Because, uh, there’s nothing to see here! Or, ah, laws meant to protect the taxpayers from fraud should not be applied to a class of people uniquely dependent on the taxpayer for its money! Or something.
[UPDATE: I retitled this from “IPCC Relied on” because in fact this report relied on the IPCC’s claims for its own results — published although the author had been apprised before its publication that it didn’t survive scrutiny — not the other way around.]

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Seems that the folks at UVA are worried that sunshine on their climate activities will be waaaay too revealing. Mr. Jefferson must be rolling in his grave up on the mountain at the shenanigans of his creation. Maybe we need a modern Jefferson to sit up on the peak and observe UVA with Mr. Jefferson's telescope.

If every professor who appeared to shade or skew government-funded work in an ideologically preferred direction were to be subject to a law enforcement investigations, there will need to be about a 4000% increase in the budget for law enforcement and a massive jail-building project.
I can't get too excited about a clash between the political interests of a showboating attorney general versus the right of tenured academics to continue to crank out politically correct garbage using public funds.

Academic Freedom and Tenure are supposed to be used to protect Professors with controversial views who are representing honest points of view. They are not to be used to protect someone who is engaged in deliberately falsifying his data, as in Wakefield and immunization research (for which he lost his medical license in the UK).
Academic freedom is not a synonym for freedom to commit fraud.

Well, Mr. Non-Excitement, should every intellectually, morally dishonest scumbag of a professor receive the attention he should be receiving from his peers, maybe the person elected to take care of the people's dirty work wouldn't have such a big job to do. And if you are clueless about the the ramifications of this whole episode, which we doubt you are, you are probably an apologist for non-existent 'rights', then you are entitled to remain in your bliss.

Oh, I think there's plenty to be perturbed about.
Government-types who think they should get to boss the sheep around pay academics who produce studies, etc. which supposedly prove the sheep should do whatever the government-types want ...
Then the government types wave the "studies" around as evidence of the dire need for the sheep to do what they're told ....
All at the sheep's expense.

And what Mr. 'Nothing to see here' Tobin omits is that this story is a whole lot bigger than just Ken Cucinelli, indeed a whole lot bigger than just UVA or the State of Virginia.

Proud AGW denier. Damn proud. Yeah. I'm looking at you James Hansen, you arrogant prick. You seem to have something on your face. What is that? Oh, I believe it is egg.
