President Barack Obama and other world leaders are preparing for their international climate change summit in Copenhagen this month and their supporters are ignoring the evidence of fraud and corruption exposed in emails exchanged by leading "climate experts."
On
Friday, Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), a member of the House Appropriations
Committee and its subcommittees that oversee funding for federal science,
commerce, energy and water development agencies, issued a statement
regarding President Obama's global warming diplomacy and upcoming appearance
on December 9 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
In his statement, Rep. Fattah said, "Give President Obama credit
for changing the game on climate change. His environmental diplomacy
will finally place the United States at the forefront of efforts to
save our planet."
"President Obama's pledge to reduce United States greenhouse gas
emissions is in line with targets in House legislation that I supported
upon passage in June. Those targets lay down a marker for the Senate.
We in Congress owe it to the American people and in fact the world community
to send the President a comprehensive, action-oriented bill- a necessary
complement to his global leadership in climate change," said
the congressman.
Opponent's of so-called Cap-and-Trade environmental legislation are
quick to remind Obama's political allies that besides being destructive
to the US economy, such legislation is based -- wholly or partially
-- on faulty or manipulated science.
"These liberal-left politicians and activists see an opportunity
to use so-called global warming as a means to push forward their Marxist
philosophy. Part of the agenda is to take away wealth from the American
people and give it to Third-World countries," said political strategist
Mike Baker.
The evidence provided by the intercepted emails of renowned climatologists
has created one of the biggest scandals in the last decade -- if not
the century, according to Baker.
Thousands of emails and documents allegedly "stolen" from
the University of East Anglia (UEA) and posted online indicate that
researchers massaged figures to mask the fact that world temperatures
have been declining in recent years.
These leaked emails provide compelling evidence that much of what is
being touted as scientific fact is in reality erroneous, fraudulent,
and perhaps criminal if participating scientists used their phony research
to acquire government grants.
Several emails contained discussions about how to best portray data
sets, among other topics. Scientists maintain their comments have been
taken out of context, but those who fiercely oppose the climate change
thesis argue the emails invalidate all the research.
Even
the leftist newspaper Telegraph
described its newsroom's shock over discovering that the documents revealed
scientists were "cooking the books," in order to prove the
earth is warming at an alarming rate.
What is even more shocking is that the authors of the emails are not
just any old bunch of academics. "Their importance cannot be overestimated,
What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have
for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over
global warming than any others, not least through the role they play
at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),"
stated Baker.
Baker points to the senders and recipients of the leaked emails saying
that they are a "who's who" of science. Their ranks include
Doctors Michael Mann, Ben Santer, Kevin Trenbeth, and even Al Gore's
climate guru, Dr. James Hansen. Gore used Hansen's studies in his Oscar-winning
motion picture An Inconvenient Truth.
Even after being caught with the "smoking gun," they and their
defenders have offered every possible excuse for concealing the background
data on which their findings and temperature records were based. Most
incriminating of all are the emails in which scientists are advised
to delete large chunks of data, which, when this is done after receipt
of a freedom of information request, is a criminal offense.

According
to the emails, scientists involved secretly discussed ways they could
manipulate the scientific peer review process so that skeptic could
not get their articles and papers published in scientific journals.
skeptical papers had no access to publication.
For example, when Dr. Thomas Wigley of the University Corporation for
Atmospheric Research complained that paleo-climatologist Hans von Storch
was responsible for “the publication of crap science ‘in
order to stimulate debate’” and that they “must get
rid of von Storch” as an editor of the journal Climate Research.
Armed
with allegedly phony proof against Storch, they succeeded in getting
von Storch to resign.
The scandal is also raising questions about members of the news media
being complicit in covering up ClimateGate. For example, a BBC meteorologist
and climate change expert, Paul Hudson, admits he was sent the leaked
emails a month prior to their discovery by bloggers, radio and television
talk hosts and other interested parties.
Meanwhile in the US, major media outlets continue to ignore the story,
according to the media watchdog group, Accuracy in Media.
Since the emails where first discovered, ABC had only mentioned the
story once, on Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopolous,
and CBS and NBC still has never reported the leaked emails on the morning
or evening news, according to AIM.
"Rather than focus on this huge scientific scandal, the timing
of which is critical considering the cap and trade legislation stalled
in the Senate and the upcoming Copenhagen meeting supposedly intended
to combat global warming—the mainstream media have done their
best to ignore it.
"The scandal involves the destruction of data, the manipulation
and cover-up of data, and a plan to punish scientific journals that
might dare to publish the views of skeptics of the man made global warming
theory. They realize that a full airing of the facts would likely undermine
an important part of President Obama’s agenda, and expose the
corruption of a significant part of the scientific establishment,"
writes
AIM's contributing editor Allie Duzett.
Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned
Scientists, said in an interview with the Washington Post from that
Obama's decision to go to Copenhagen suggests that "he'll be here
at the end to help seal the deal."
"The Washington Post is one of the culprits in this enormous cover
up," accuses Mike Baker. "And why aren't reporters flocking
to Al Gore for his reaction to this proof that climate change is a farce?"
For years, Al Gore has played the role of a modern day Paul Revere,
sounding the alarm regarding potential consequences of global warming
in order to gain public attention. Whenever there is a story related
to environmental issues, reporters quote Gore. In fact, Fox News Channel
on Saturday morning reported that conservatives in Hollywood are demanding
that Gore be stripped of his Oscar for his documentary that served as
a vehicle to ratchet up global warming fears.
"But putting aside the fact that Gore has honed his public speaking skills, the fly in the ointment is that he’s a fraud. Like the very global warming movement to which he has attached himself, he’s a snake oil salesman whose sales pitch is laced with scare tactics designed to push the public into embracing a radical, carbon-free agenda that rests on a combination of half-truths and outright fabrications," alleges AWR Hawkins, a conservative writer who holds a Ph.D. in military history from Texas Tech University and writes for Pajamas Media.

"And Gore’s fraudulence is not only seen in the fact that he pawns a lie, but also in the fact that he refuses to abide by the very lie he pawns," quipped Dr. Hawkins.
