The recent email scandal has proven that scientists are liars, leftist
socialists who are out to dupe us with their gibber jabber and fool us into
being socialists under their one world government.

Obama needs to resign now!

ClimateGate: People need to go to jail

As Robert Tracinski correctly notes, the Global Warming hoax is the scandal
of the century. People should be investigated and prosecuted for
perpetrating a fraud so large it makes Bernie Madoff look like Santa Claus.

As Robert Tracinski correctly notes, the Global Warming hoax is the scandal
of the century. People should be investigated and prosecuted for
perpetrating a fraud so large it makes Bernie Madoff look like Santa Claus.

Congressional Republicans are already looking into the Global Cooling
cover-up.

  Congressional Republicans have started investigating climate scientists
whose hacked emails suggest they tried to squelch dissenting views about
global warming.

  An aide to Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), the ranking member of the House
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said investigators are
studying the documents, which unknown hackers stole last week from the
computer of a prominent British climate-research center.

  Investigators are focusing on the correspondence of White House Science
Adviser John Holdren, he said. . . .

  Separately, Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.), an outspoken critic of the view
that humans are causing global warming, said that in light of the emails, he
will call for an investigation into the state of climate science if the
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works doesn't act soon.

Here is a little sample of the fraud (with lots more at the link) we are
talking about.

  More seriously, in one e-mail, a prominent global warming alarmist admits
to using a statistical "trick" to "hide the decline" in temperatures.
Anthony Watts provides an explanation of this case in technical detail; the
"trick" consists of selectively mixing two different kinds of
data-temperature "proxies" from tree rings and actual thermometer
measurements-in a way designed to produce a graph of global temperatures
that ends the way the global warming establishment wants it to: with an
upward "hockey stick" slope.

  Confirming the earlier scandal about cherry-picked data, the e-mails show
CRU scientists conspiring to evade legal requests, under the Freedom of
Information Act, for their underlying data. It's a basic rule of science
that you don't just get to report your results and ask other people to take
you on faith. You also have to report your data and your specific method of
analysis, so that others can check it and, yes, even criticize it. Yet that
is precisely what the CRU scientists have refused.

  So maybe it is time for people to start going to jail. In England, if
these faux scientists deleted emails that were subject to FOIA requests,
they are going to need good lawyers.

    But university researchers may also find themselves in legal jeopardy if
they deleted emails requested under the U.K.'s Freedom of Information (FOIA)
legislation, a crime under U.K. law. . . .

    "It's definitely a crime to do that in the U.K., and we have reported it
to the police," said Simon Dunford, a spokesman at East Anglia, which is
conducting an internal probe.

    But the emails, which appear to be genuine, though their authenticity
could not be confirmed, indicate a concerted effort to fight the FOI
requests that may itself have slipped into questionable territory.

    For instance, in May of 2008, the school received a legal information
request for correspondence of an East Anglia researcher, Keith Briffa,
involved in the preparation of the most recent scientific report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, known as AR4. Two days later,
according to the alleged correspondence, Phil Jones, Director of the
Climatic Research Unit, sent out an email to colleagues asking them to
delete any such emails.

  And while it would be nice to see a bunch of geeks doing the perp walk for
geek crimes like FOIA violations, the real crime in this mammoth scam is the
the fraud perpetrated on everyone in the world by the Warmers, from Al Gore
on down to the MSM.

  Governments all over the world (mostly those run by liberals and
socialists) have spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting a
non-existent threat. All of those tax dollars could have gone to the
taxpayers' families for real needs like food and education. Instead, it was
taken by governments in the form of taxes and given as grants to the Global
Warming industry. These Global Warming taxes and regulations were designed
to limit our freedom by controlling our thermostats, making us drive smaller
cars, and outlawing big-screen TV's. They even considered eliminating black
cars.

  If these emails are accurate, they have committed fraud on us, a crime
that requires a willful and knowing intent to deceive. And when there is a
group of them, all agreeing to participate in the crime, it is called a
conspiracy.

  In this country, if you solicit government money for a fraudulent purpose
you pay a fine and go to jail.

    In essence, government fraud refers to illegal acts that intentionally
divest the government of funds through deception or scams. When the
government gets swindled, taxpayers pay the price. Government fraud is a
serious crime, and is generally pursued to the fullest extent of the law. In
fact, in many government fraud cases, both criminal and civil charges are
brought against the defendant.

    The Federal False Claims Act makes it illegal to present a false claim
in order to defraud the government, or to conspire to do so. . . . The
penalties for government fraud under the False Claims Act are quite harsh. A
convict must pay back three times the amount stolen in addition to a civil
fine of $5,000 to $10,000.

  And under the Criminal Statutes the penalty is up to 5 years in prison.

  Hmmm, isn't Al Gore's company going to benefit directly from trading in
the carbon credits contemplated by Cap and Trade? Didn't Al Gore testify
before Congress to have them pass Cap and Trade? Doesn't Al Gore know all
about Global Warming? Aren't all these phony scientists the experts Gore
said proved the science was settled?

  It is high time we shut down government-funded Global Warming projects,
repeal regulations designed to reduce Global Warming, kill Cap and Trade,
and most of all, round up all these swindlers and throw them all in jail.
