Too bad he doesn’t make any sense.
Here’s his defense according to InsideClimateNews.org:
First — and to play Santer’s game — if scientific data are continually changing, why is he so sure that this particular version is a “fact of life”?
Second, and more importantly, Congress is responsible for overseeing federal agencies and their employees. Santer failed to address this at all.
I’m sorry, but when you work for the government, and use government e-mail, then everything short of National Security material should be available for review by YOUR BOSS. There is no “expectation of privacy” in your e-mail, so if you’re having discussions, even “frank, scientific” ones with your government colleagues, it is still fair game for review BY YOUR BOSS.
Santer is just another another warmist on the government payroll trying to defend a corrupt organization.
