The Global Warming Swindle Unravels Quickly

A must read in the Telegraph (UK):

The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors 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).

Professor Philip Jones, the CRU's director, is in charge of the two key sets of data used by the IPCC to draw up its reports. Through its link to the Hadley Centre, part of the UK Met Office, which selects most of the IPCC's key scientific contributors, his global temperature record is the most important of the four sets of temperature data on which the IPCC and governments rely – not least for their predictions that the world will warm to catastrophic levels unless trillions of dollars are spent to avert it.

This is essentially Enron times one hundred. They cooked the books to ensure that more money--your money and mine--was spent on ever more carbon-reducing activities and studies. They built an industry of which Al Gore became the American face whereby they manipulated data to meet their own ends. It's a fraud of epic proportions and one that would make Bernie Madoff salute for the sheer audacity.

The more that comes out, the more the whole house of cards will teeter and eventually fall. At that time, many Americans will wonder what happened while the rest of the world laughs as the world's media is reporting every single breaking detail while American media is ignoring it with every fiber of their being (Fox News excepted).

I've been writing this blog for seven years and have linked story after story that questioned the validity of the data. I've been a sceptic because the science never added up. Now we who knew the scam was on are vindicated and those who perpetrated the con will be shown the scumbags we knew them to be.

I pray that Cap and Trade comes to the floor of the House and Senate so this will be out in the open. I picture Sen. Inhofe jamming it straight down Sen. Boxer's throat live on C-SPAN.

Please take the time to read the entire piece.

Update: Forgot to link to this. All the important data was "lost" during a move to new facilities. A convenient way to keep those who would review the veracity of the data from ever getting a chance to see it. The scandal widens daily but you'll have to read the UK press, blogs or Aussie media to know anything about it.
