A few months ago, the scientific community was rocked by the leaking of a series of email conversations from scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, one of the world's premier "climate change" research institutions. The emails revealed evidence of the deliberate suppression and discarding of scientific data that did not agree with the institution's conclusions about global warming as well as attempts to discredit scientific skeptics. At the center of this controversy was the director of the Climatic Research Unit, Dr. Phil Jones, who was forced to resign his position.
Dr. Jones is making more headlines this week. He has shockingly admitted that there has been no "statistically significant" global warming over the past 15 years. He has also acknowledged that it is possible that the earth was even warmer during the Medieval Period than it is now -- which calls into question whether man-made carbon emissions are a significant cause of global warming. And finally, he has admitted that he has lost much of the data supporting his claims about man-made global warming, which explains why he refused Freedom of Information Act requests for this data. At the same time, new research by American and British scientists is casting doubt on the conclusions of the most recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which offered doomsday scenarios about devastating effects of climate change on human and animal life.
You probably don't know about this if you get your news from the mainstream American media, but the ClimateGate email scandal mentioned above is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mistakes and fraud in "climate change" science. A recent editorial in The Orange County Register lists out 19 significant recent scandals involving bogus global warming scientific claims. It is well worth reading to get a sense of how badly the science has been manipulated. And finally, check out this helpful online "Global Warming Handbook," for a summary of the many erroneous assumptions and methods used by global warming advocates.
The scariest thing of all is that our government wants to pass comprehensive legislation costing our government hundreds of billions of dollars and significantly raising our individual energy costs based on this junk science.
