'Cap and Trade Is Dead'---So declares Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe,
The Wall Street Journal ^ | NOVEMBER 26, 2009, 9:48 P.M. ET | KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL

Posted on 11/26/2009 8:20:24 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

The recently disclosed emails and documents from University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit compromise the integrity of the United Nations' global warming reports.

So declares Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, taking a few minutes away from a Thanksgiving retreat with his family. "Ninety-five percent of the nails were in the coffin prior to this week. Now they are all in."

If any politician might be qualified to offer last rites, it would be Mr. Inhofe. The top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee has spent the past decade in the thick of Washington's climate fight. He's seen the back of three cap-and-trade bills, rode herd on an overweening Environmental Protection Agency, and steadfastly insisted that global researchers were "cooking" the science behind man-made global warming.

This week he's looking prescient. The more than 3,000 emails and documents from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) that have found their way to the Internet have blown the lid off the "science" of manmade global warming. CRU is a nerve center for many of those researchers who have authored the United Nations' global warming reports and fueled the political movement to regulate carbon.

Their correspondence show a claque of scientists massaging data to make it fit their theories, squelching scientists who disagreed, punishing academic journals that didn't toe the apocalyptic line, and hiding their work from public view. "It's no use pretending that this isn't a major blow," glumly wrote George Monbiot, a U.K. writer who has been among the fiercest warming alarmists. The documents "could scarcely be more damaging." And that's from a believer.

Exactly right. Ed Begley (spelling?) the tall blonde hair actor who is completely sold on global warming was on Fox two days ago screaming about the earth dying and we need to do something about it. When he emails were brought up he called them fakes, made up by a hacker.

There are too many people and companies who are financially invested in the entire global change crap and they are NOT going to give up the money.

Combine the true believers, profiteers and politicians who’ve made their name on this junk and this isn’t going away. In fact, they will just fight harder.

"This scandal has real implications."

From the senator's lips to God's ears.

So at what point will ANCNBCCBSMSNBC or any of the rags acknowledge the scandal? ;^)

They are still looking for ways to loot their citizens. The collection of international gangsters won’t give up that easy.

Boxer won’t be satisfied until the entire country is as over-regulated and miserable as California is.

“Spread the misery around” is the real mantra of the Left.

Even if it looks dead, drive a thousand more stakes into its heart just to be sure.

You have that right! Still cannot believe she keeps getting reelected which shows how California has changed so much. If they didn’t count illegals in the census for Congressional seats, CA wouldn’t have near as many, and we would all be better off.

I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I want to thank you so much for the pings, it sure is most helpful to have them so I can catch up. There just has not been much free time these past few days to spend keeping up, with the unraveling tale of this multi-layered greatest hoax of my life time.

Oh and I had such joy last evening telling a couple of BamaKennedy voting in-laws, about this scam. They were shall we say, open mouthed.

The moment:

Fred Thompson, GOP refuse a show of hands

Thanks to Michelle Malkin:

The Iowa GOP Debate: “A little snappier, gentlemen!;” Update Fred Thompson’s not playing the “hand show;” Update: Aggghhh! The GOP candidates are all turning green;

Moderator was

The Des Moines Register’s Carolyn Washburn (a.k.a. Schoolmarm) is the moderator of the debate. She’s no plant, but she sure is a stick in the mud. Her line of the debate so far: “A little snappier, gentlemen!”

*****************************snip*******************************

Post-debate analysis on FOX: Fred Barnes chooses the Nurse Ratched analogy. Yes, I think that one fits. How many of you agree? Show of hands! Show of hands!

1ratched.jpg

Frank Luntz’s focus group raised its hands in support of Fred Thompson’s smackdown of Schoolmarm/Nurse Ratched (”It showed his strength/independence.”)

Bravo. Looks like your country is now stepping up to the plate on this issue. In a big way at that. This is all going to start getting very interesting as how the UN gang that support GW are going to fair next month.
