Inhofe Begins Hadley Center "Climategate" Investigation
Warns Participants to Retain Documents
Washington, D.C.-Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today sent letters to several scientists, some of whom allegedly manipulated data to prove the scientific "consensus" of global warming, as well as to the inspectors general of several federal agencies, notifying them to retain documents related to the release of emails from the Hadley Center's Climate Research Unit.
"The stakes in this controversy are significant, as it appears that the basis of federal programs, pending EPA rulemakings, and cap-and-trade legislation was contrived and fabricated," Sen. Inhofe said. "Moreover, it appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated.
"I certainly don't condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called ‘consensus' of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world's leading climate scientists."
The letters are the first step in the investigation of the Hadley Center climate scandal. Last week, emails released by a computer hacker revealed that several leading climate scientists allegedly manipulated climate data and research used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These scientists also appear to have refused outside access to their raw data, obstructed freedom of information requests, and plotted ways to prevent the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals by scientists who question global warming alarmism.

Link to 2005 Inhofe Senate Floor Speech: "Today, I will discuss something else - scientific integrity and how to improve it. Specifically, I will discuss the systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective scientific assessment in the world on the subject of climate change - the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. I will conclude with a series of recommendations as to the minimum changes the IPCC must make if it is to restore its credibility."

Thanks!
Inhofe has 14 Dems lined up with him against Cap and Trade and Baucus and on this Baucus will stick with Inhofe — always has in the past when it comes to energy/climate votes against Boxer. When you have Boxer heading the Committee not too hard to get votes against her.
Baucus was always someone the GOP on most issues could count on not to mention that Reid threw his healthcare bill into the trash and write his own after Baucus had spent so much time writing the bill.
Great INFO...
Thank You Very Much!
I want that bumper sticker!
Really!
Give me a little time — I can come up with one that you can order tomorrow.

We laughed and scolded our TV and the news hour dudes with: "There ain't nuthin any good about any of this because it's all based on lies and is goin to crash and burn and that will not be enough heat to start any climate change in the first place!!!"
