Part One: Hypocrisy of CLIMATEGATE

On the eve of the Copenhagen climate change conference comes Bret Stephens’ GLOBAL VIEW in Tuesday Wall Street Journal labeling the “climate change consensus” bunk. He brands it “Cliimategate” , and describes the shameful effort to blackball contrary scientists, expunge dissenting data  and organize proponents to block freedom of information request to cover up their hypocrisy. His article erases the argument that those involved, including a leading proponent who was co-recipients of $19 billion in research grants, are not disgraced.. Worse, if anything can be, is that $94 billion has been frittered globally on “green stimulus” allowing Al Gore and his partner Keiner Perkins to “look forward to handsome profits. “

Stephens catalogues an alphabet soup of universities, eco-organizations, research institutions, researchers, associates and affiliates who have received billions more to believe with religious-like zeal like priest must believe in the existence of God.

Mr. Stephens accurately point out none of these actors are per se corrupt but “they depend on and benefit from an inherently corrupting premise.” This, he says is what’s known as vested interests,” and I believe an automatic disqualification for those in ethical academic circles.

Going back to the nincompoops that perpetrated this fraud closes the loop on those who keep the keys to the climate change cathedral. Last week while poking around in what is become climate change’s fetid corpse came more alarming news from a computer programmer. “I am very sorry to report that the data base is nearly in as bad shape as Australia…” That’s stinker information because the conclusions on global warming is based on a computer model using the now known corrupt data shoveled up by the chief climate nabob at East Anglia University’s CRU (Climate Research Unit) cooked the data and now another enormously important date source is worthless. It may also be why Australia’s Senate rejected climate change legislation this week.

The good news is that the CRU’s head has stepped down pending a complete investigation—and hopefully his head will roll along with other such nabobs. But, the damage is done

With luck and some tough cops the world’s people will be saved from paying the $145 trillion (not billion) but, trillion dollar price tag for this global warming scientific heresy. Compared to Bernie Madoff and his scam these people make that look like chump change.
