Climate Flimflam Flaming Out

Environment: The United Nations makes a claim that can't be supported by science, and U.S. researchers ignore temperature data from frigid regions. The crack-up of the global warming fraud is picking up speed.

With so much of the science behind climate change coming under attack, especially among scientists, it's been a harsh winter for the global warming crowd:

• In late November, thousands of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia were leaked to the public. The evidence strongly suggests that researchers colluded to prove the global warming scientific "consensus" by rigging, burying and destroying data that ran counter to their political agenda.

• Last week, the public learned that claims made by the U.N.'s International Panel on Climate Change were not based on science, but on speculation. Specifically, the IPCC's 2007 report said the Himalayan glaciers will be gone by 2035 due to man-made global warming.

The claim, used at the U.N. Copenhagen climate change conference in cold and snowy December to rush through a restrictive greenhouse-gas-emissions treaty, was not based on a scientific study. It was based on a telephone call that a reporter had with a scientist who was speculating.

The IPCC has withdrawn the claim. Murari Lal, the scientist who included the contention in the U.N. report, admitted that he knew it wasn't based on peer-reviewed scientific research.

• Also in the last week, it was revealed that U.S. researchers working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are excluding temperature data from cold regions for a database used by the U.N. in its global warming scare campaign.

Wonder how many people know Obama founded that Chicago Climate Exchange (carbon credits)... he's been in cahoots with these people since before he was a Senator ... yet it never surfaces.

When Obama was on the board of the Joyce Foundation they gave Richard Sandor money for its founding.

“Once you price CO2 and put a price on it, you find, as you would with any other product, it tends to be rationed. We as a people on this planet have lived under the false concept that air and water were free. And we’ve learned with a planet of 7 billion people, that we have to ration these precious goods. And the good old price system is the best way to do it.”

Richard Sandor.

Would you consider starting a thread on that bit of data?

The world really owes a debt of gratitude to the leakers/hackers (it’s never been clear which it was really) for exposing and providing clear proof of the fraud behind AGW.

Yeah, I looked at the link and saw that he sat on the board. IOW, he was the affirmative action board member.

It sure does! The AGW hoax was beginning to come to light, but many weren't taking the word of those of us who were trying to present the REAL science, as opposed to the JUNK science that was being touted.

The AGW hoaxsters buried themselves with their own words; how very fitting.
