Maryland Senator Ben Cardin's form letter response to "Climategate" letter I sent.

In Cardin's response nowhere does it mention the subject of "Climategate". Total complete denial or ignorance...idiots...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the American Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act (S. 1733). I understand your concerns about the impact such legislation will have on Americans. At the same time, I believe that global warming is real and needs to be addressed. The good news is that S. 1733 can be a cost effective way to address this threat and help us develop a clean and sustainable economy.

Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced S. 1733 on September 30, 2009. In addition to addressing greenhouse gases and energy use, legislators worked hard to address many of the concerns that you raised, including costs to consumers. The bill includes provisions to provide reimbursements to households, particularly low-income ones, to offset any higher energy costs. As a result, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the legislation will cost each household less than 50 cents per day in 2020. On October 27, the Consumers Union, AARP, the National Consumer Law Center and Public Citizen all wrote to Chairman Boxer saying, "S.1733 includes several significant consumer protection provisions advocated by our organizations."

Chairman Boxer went through great efforts to make the legislative process of this bill as open and as transparent as possible. She held numerous hearings and heard from dozens of witnesses. In addition to working with all members of the committee for months to incorporate their concerns into the bill, she made the legislation available to all senators 10 days before the start of the legislative mark up.

I believe that this bill will help America rebuild its economy by providing incentives for businesses to invest, create new, good paying jobs, and save Americans billions of dollars in the long run. Investments in clean energy will generate approximately 3 times as many jobs as the equivalent amount spent on carbon-based fuel. A recent report released by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that if emissions are reduced by 56 percent by 2030, the resulting savings on energy bills would produce net annual savings for households, vehicle owners, businesses, and industries of $255 billion. The Political Economy Research Institute estimates that the passage of a climate and energy bill would produce 1.7 million new jobs - 26,605 in Maryland alone. These jobs will be permanent, good paying, and will help rebuild our manufacturing sector.

Many of America's leading companies support this move to a new energy economy. The United States Climate Action Partnership is an alliance of major businesses that have come together in support of strong national legislation to require significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. This partnership includes major companies such as General Electric, Ford Motor Company, Shell, John Deere, DuPont, and PepsiCo.

If left unchecked, the impacts of global warming - increased hurricane damage, real estate losses, and energy and water expenses - could cost our economy an estimated $1.9 trillion annually by the end of the century. The stakes are particularly high for Maryland, where scientists predict that warming will cause sea level to rise by as many as three feet before the century's end. Warmer seas will produce more severe tropical storms and hurricanes-causing damage to towns along the Chesapeake Bay and more floods throughout the state.

A central element of S. 1733 is a cap and trade program to control harmful carbon dioxide emissions and lower costs of the overall bill. Unlike a carbon tax, the cap and trade model provides businesses and corporations with the most flexibility, enabling market-driven forces to minimize overall costs and achieve maximum efficiency in reducing emissions. This model has been successful in curbing other pollutants in the past.

The Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush estimated the benefit-to-cost ratio of the sulfur dioxide cap-and-trade program at 40-1. Praised by businesses and environmental groups alike, cap-and-trade programs offer a pragmatic approach that meets both our economic and environmental goals.

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me about this or any other issue of concern to you.

Dear Senator / Congressman: Climategate... The Destruction of Science for Political Gain, and the Implementation of Global Socialism: The veracity of the recently culled documentation known as “Climategate” is now established, including the records of electronic mail, computer programming language, programmer’s notes, raw data, and other documentation covering a period of time from 1996 through Nov 12, 2009. We finally have caught those who have hijacked climatology in the most blatant act of criminal obfuscation of truth and perversion of science yet discovered. Two paramount questions come to mind: 1) What shall we do about this crime; and 2) Will the Congress of these United States allow this cabal of the United Nations’ pseudo research establishment to further propagate deception into our legislative and regulatory policy decisions. Contrary to the assertions of Vice President Albert Gore Jr., it is not the Earth, but rather the life, liberty and property of American Citizens and the Citizens of several nations that now hangs "n the balance.”

The revealed facts show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a conspiracy was perpetrated by those in positions of public trust, to willfully defraud the Governments and Citizens of several nations, including the United States; for the purposes of securing public funding, influencing public policy, promulgating public law, and altering the economic models of the several nations so to serve the preposterous agenda of several private individuals, linked directly and indirectly to the United Nations. These individuals acted in collusion to secure personal financial gain and professional accolade, through an implementation of such policies and laws, as would guarantee income for those who positioned themselves in industries established solely to provide products of remedy to the pseudo climate change “crisis” invented through their own acts of deception.

The US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) appointed a committee chaired by Professor Wegman to investigate and arbitrate a debate on the ‘Hockey Stick Graph’ (a contrived device used to fraudulently illustrate the assertion that rising global temperatures are caused through man’s use of fossil fuel—Anthropological Climate Change / Global warming ACC/AGW). The graph was created by Michael Mann of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia. Professor Wegman stated that 43 individuals represented the core group of climate scientists for the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Wegman also observed that these 43 individuals acted to collectively publish their material and act as their own “peer review” process. It is important to note that the goal of the now-defunct Hockey Stick Graph was to eliminate the Medieval Warming Period, so to advance the idea that the Twentieth Century is the warmest period of recorded history. From the evidence contained in the culled electronic mail discussions of the CRU staff and by examination of programmers’ notes contained in the CRU climate modeling computer codes, it is clear that this act of deception was willful so to achieve predetermined outcomes that benefitted the promoters of ACC/AGW to the detriment of these United States and several other nations. Dr. Tim Ball, a renowned environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, Canada, has stated that these 43 individuals: assert total control over the IPCC discussions; orchestrate editorials in major news outlets, such as the New York Times, to promote their view (They provide the names of journal review editors, to review their own articles); actively colluded to deny Freedom of Information requests of their data and methods; sought to silence dissent within the editorials of peer journals, and; conspired to have James Sayers fired from the Editorial staff of Geophysical Review Letters, because he questioned their conclusions. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/3021 These same 43 individuals control the Hadley Center, which serves as the depository of information on global temperature data collection. The reports issued by these individuals, through the IPCC, serves as the basis for the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord. Moreover, Dr James Hansen of NASA is implicated in this willful deception, through his purposeful reduction of past global temperatures so to manipulate the historical record and make our present age appear warmer. If not for the far-reaching and serious consequences created by their deception, the menagerie would be comical in that a collection of UN bumblers were able to dupe so many “statesmen” and self-proclaimed “experts” of the mainstream media for so long. But they were perhaps all-too-willing dupes.

Therefore, based upon the disclosed evidence, WE demand that all Public Laws of the U.S. Code, U.S. Federal Regulatory statutes, U.S. Administrative policies, U.S. Executive Orders, U.S. Presidential Directives, and to the extent applicable in any jurisdiction of the individual States--State Law, County ordinance, Municipal code, Community guideline, etc--effected, implemented or otherwise advocated under the color of Anthropological Climate Change, Global Warming, Sustainable Development, Wildlands Projects, International Biosphere Reserves, World Heritage Sites, Agenda 21, and all similar or related vehicles adopted under the pretense of the IPCC and UNESCO conventions on Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions, be immediately suspended, revoked, withdrawn from further consideration, and declared nullified. WE further demand that all associated Treaties, Conventions, Agreements, and Instruments, whether ratified or not ratified by the Senate of the United States, be declared null, void, and of no force.

Therefore, based upon the revealed facts, WE further demand that all funding for all programs, research, staffs, administrations, facilities, incentives, rewards, grants, salaries, incomes, vestments, tenures, scholarships, entitlements, or any other similar construct or instrument related to the preceding paragraph, be immediately suspended, repealed, revoked and withdrawn from further consideration; and that appropriate legislation for their immediate reimbursement to the public treasuries of the effected jurisdictions be promulgated. Therefore, based upon revealed facts, WE further demand that those individuals responsible for this public deception and act of infamous fraud be prosecuted to the fullest extent of which the laws of these United States will allow.
