A skeptical public repeatedly has been told that questions about purported global warming are closed. "I think everybody is clear on the science. I think scientists are clear on the science ... I think that this notion that there's some debate ... on the science is kind of silly," said President Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs when asked Monday about the president's response to the controversy. The flack was talking smack.
Contrary to the whitewash job conducted by propagandists, there are 450 academic peer-reviewed journal articles questioning the importance of man-made global warming. The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine has collected more than 30,000 American scientists urging the U.S. government to reject the Kyoto Treaty, which pushes draconian measures to reduce carbon emissions. Much hay is made of 2,500 United Nations scientists who back Kyoto, but there are many more scientists with Ph.D.s among the 30,000 skeptics than there are among the oft-cited 2,500, most of whom are government bureaucrats without advanced degrees.
That's hardly meant to be a blanket endorsement of the work done by all those holding doctorates in the field. There are significant problems with the three most-relied-on data series used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report.

That would be a refreshing change from the White House.

But, but, but, but.... There is a CONSENSUS!

You know the deal with cockroaches? if you see one then there are thousands more you don't see. That's what this Climategate scam is. One of the visible cockroaches . You can bet your bottom dollar all kinds of back alley double dealing are depending on this travesty to pass. Since money is being set up to flow into foreign hands I predict right here and now that a nice chuck of Obama's campaign funds came from other members of the Carbon Mafia hoping to cash in. This corruption is deep and history will only discover a fraction of it.

They have to terraform Earth so their people can relocate here from their homeworld.
It all depends on what senators have skin in the game. If you want a road map leading to who is going to profit from this, watch how they vote.
