Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “Hacking into the global warming hoax”

Oh, this is just too rich. Everything we ”deniers” have told you for years regarding the global warming hoax was validated just days ago by a group of hackers.

Indeed, hackers broke into computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (commonly referred to as Hadley CRU) and appropriated 61 megabytes of confidential data which revealed collusion among climatologists and manipulation of data to support the view that climate change is caused by human activity.

Here’s some of what they turned up:

In a 1999 e-mail, Phil Jones (the head of Hadley CRU) wrote, ”I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

Another noteworthy e-mail described how to squeeze dissenting scientists from the peer-review process: “I think we have to stop considering Climate Research as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…What do others think?”

Another e-mail gloated over the 2004 death of John L. Daly (one of the first climate change skeptics): “In an odd way this is cheering news.”

Still another e-mail expressed doubt that the earth is heating up at all: “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.”

This is devastating for the global warming movement, because it illustrates that global warming was never really about science in the first place. Global warming is a political issue that is and always has been about three things: raising taxes, growing government, and stripping people of their individual liberties. It has never been about anything else.

If global warming were truly about science, there would never be any manipulation of data nor suppression of dissenting views, because pure scientific inquiry involves analyzing all available data and drawing honest conclusions.

If there really were concern about the health of the planet, the lack of any warming over the last 12 years would be greeted with relief instead of consternation.

And if the mainstream press were interested at all in actually reporting news, it would have been all over the Hadley CRU scandal. Instead, only one American outlet thus far has bothered to report the news at all – Fox News – although the UK Telegraph was all over the scandal. The media are instead completely onboard the global warming hoax and carry the water for the ”scientists” and politicians who endeavor to write the hoax into public policy. In fact, the media spent more time fact-checking Sarah Palin’s book and a Saturday Night Live skit making fun of Obama than they spend fact-checking global warming claims.

There’s nothing honest about global warming. It’s a fraud. Any politician who wants government to “do something” to “save the planet” is basing his agenda on what is now an admitted hoax.

Every dollar that is confiscated from taxpayers and used to “solve” the “climate crisis” is fraudulently gained and fraudulently spent.

Every piece of legislation (i.e., cap-and-trade) proposed by any government body with the aim of reducing carbon emissions is constructed upon a lie.

Every drop of oil that’s left in the ground in the name of cutting carbon emissions represents an unnecessary inflation in energy costs that need not be.

Every doomsday weather forecast that predicts runaway temperatures and rising sea levels is simply a scare-tactic that has zero scientific merit.

Al Gore’s Nobel-winning global warming movie is based on a string of lies. The carbon credit industry is a fraud. The whole notion of “going green” in order to reduce our carbon footprint is, likewise, a hoax.

The revelation of the Hadley CRU e-mails should put the entire issue of climate change to rest. It should be buried with every other hoax that has ever occupied our time. But it won’t, because global warming was never about the environment in the first place.

Global warming hucksters have had to shroud their objectives with such terms as “clean energy” and “a world safe for our children,” all the while using fraudulent images of polar bears floating away on shrinking icebergs. They have even infected our schools with their propaganda with the objective of corrupting an entire generation of Americans so they will be more gullible and compliant.

None of what they say is true. And so the next time you hear a politician rant about the “need for urgent initiatives,” or listen to President Obama talk about “bold action” to solve the “climate crisis,” you now know that the entire global warming movement is constructed on manipulated data and suppressed opposition.

I’ve always said that you can tell just how bad the climate crisis really is not by listening to the sermons of global warming hucksters, but by watching their actions. And as long as Al Gore continues his lavish, jet-setting lifestyle, you can be sure the planet is doing just fine.
