Subject: HACKERS EXPOSE GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD

GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD EXPOSED BY EMAIL HACKERS
By Kimberley A. Strassel Wall Street Journal November 26, 2009
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."
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.
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.
This scandal has real implications. Mr. Inhofe notes that
international and U.S. efforts to regulate carbon were already on the
ropes. The growing fear of Democrats and environmentalists is that the
CRU uproar will prove a tipping point, and mark a permanent end to those
ambitions.
Internationally, world leaders finally acknowledged that the
recession has sapped them of their political power to impose devastating
new carbon-restrictions. China and India are clear they won't join the
West in an economic suicide pact. Next month's summit in Copenhagen is a
bust. Instead of producing legally binding agreements, it will be dogged
by queries about the legitimacy of the scientists who wrote the reports
that form its basis.
The next opportunity to get international agreement is in Mexico
City, 2010 -- a U.S. election year. Democrats were already publicly
acknowledging there will be no domestic climate legislation in 2009 and
privately acknowledging their great unease at passing a huge energy tax
on Americans headed for a midterm vote.
Add to that the CRU scandal, which pivots the focus to potential
fraud. Republicans are launching investigations, and the pressure is
building on Democrats to hold hearings, since climate scientists were
funded with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Mr. Inhofe's office this week sent
letters to federal agencies and outside scientists warning them not to
delete their own CRU-related emails and documents, which may also be
subject to Freedom of Information requests.
Polls show a public already losing belief in the theory of man-made
global warming, and skeptics are now on the offense. The Competitive
Enterprise Institute's Myron Ebell argues this scandal gives added cover
to Blue Dogs and other Democrats who were already reluctant to buck the
public's will and vote for climate legislation. And with Republicans set
to pick up seats, Mr. Ebell adds, "By 2011 there will hopefully be even
fewer members who support this. We may be close to having it permanently
stymied." Continued U.S. failure to act makes an international agreement
to replace Kyoto (which expires in 2012) a harder sell.
There's still the EPA, which is preparing an "endangerment finding"
that would allow it to regulate carbon on the grounds it is a danger to
public health. It is here the emails might have the most direct effect.
The agency has said repeatedly that it based its finding on the U.N.
science -- which is now at issue. The scandal puts new pressure on the
EPA to accede to growing demands to make public the scientific basis of
its actions.
Mr. Inhofe goes so far as to suggest that the agency might not now
issue the finding. "The president knows how punitive this will be; he's
never wanted to do it through [the EPA] because that's all on him." The
EPA was already out on a legal limb with its finding, and Mr. Inhofe
argues that if it does go ahead, the CRU disclosure guarantees court
limbo. "The way the far left used to stop us is to file lawsuits and
stall and stall. We'll do the same thing."
Still, if this Democratic Washington has demonstrated anything, it's
that ideology often trumps common sense. Egged on by the left, dug in to
their position, Democrats might plow ahead. They'd be better off
acknowledging that the only "consensus" right now is that the world needs
to start over on climate "science."
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 the
Environmental Protection Agency, and steadfastly insisted that global
researchers were "cooking" the science behind man-made global warming.
This week he's looking prescient.

This all comes just before next month's Copenhagen summit, which
seeks to wreck the world's economy with carbon dioxide emission
regulations. And, of course, on the eve of Democratic plans for cap and
trade legislation.
There will be much more about this, nationally and internationally,
in the weeks and months to come. Suffice it to say right now that if
there's a "consensus" about global warming among the world's
climatologists, it's a consensus fashioned by people who have let their
agendas manipulate the data. They can't stand the truth. --Bill Tucker
