ClimateGate: the perfect holiday gift for the woman who exhales

Mom never told me there was a Santa. In fact, she argued otherwise.
"No, there isn't a Santa. It's just a story."
I believed her. Now, I'm not so sure because this gift was on my Wish List and only Santa knew. And God. He heard from me, too.



I don't understand it completely, not all of the legal ramifications. I didn't understand the inner-workings of a Go-Cart, either. But I still adored getting one on my 8th Christmas.

Basically, a group of ornery elves hacked into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, the mother load of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming research, and fed all the hungry non-Kool-aid drinking children out there. The hackers created an expose. And scientists who make-up world altering scientific evidence don't like getting caught with their pants down.

As James Delingpole puts it in a wry twist of sarcastic gloating more delicious than spiked eggnog:

If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)

When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”.

Oh what to do, what to do. Should I sponsor a global warming scientist this Christmas? Send him cards to encourage him into a new line of work, like taking his imagination to DreamWorks or working for Matel. They do like building models.

Delingpole goes on to report the list of naughty crimes these man-made global warming supporting scientists seem to be guilty of:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

A poetic coupling of phrases in the emails really stand out, like "hide the decline", for which I'll be putting on a t-shirt.

Sen. Inhofe, enjoying the vindication after years of calling climate change science a "hoax", is now calling for an investigation. Rip the wrapping paper off this gag gift, Sen. Inhofe. I want a receipt and my money back.

Well, on this thing, it is pretty serious. And since, you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I’m the Ranking Member on Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven days when we go back into session a week from today that would change this situation, I will call for an investigation. ‘Cause this thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with.

Thus far, the MSM are ignoring the elephant in the room as best they can, like stepping in it's droppings and pretending their feet don't stink. What? You smell something? I don't smell anything.

Delingpole published today an interview with retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball. Here's the money quote:

“On a global scale it’s frightening because this group of people not only control the Hadley Centre, which controls the data on global temperature through the Hadley Climate Research Unit but they also control the IPCC and they’ve manipulated that. And of course the IPCC has become the basis in all governments for the Kyoto protocol, the Copenhagen accord and so on….”

Remember Lord Monckton? Remember his warning about the Climate Treaty in Copenhagen? Remember his challenge to Gore? The Brit has already won the argument even though The Goracle remains mute on the subject.
Another loud supporter taking the "What? You smell something?" tactic is our man-child President, making statements today as if ClimateGate doesn't exist.
Via Breitbart:

US President Barack Obama said Tuesday the world has moved "one step closer" to a "strong operational agreement" on climate change at next month's Copenhagen summit after his talks with Indian and Chinese leaders.

Scientific data forcing people to drive different vehicles, pay higher taxes, grovel with apology for their very existence, all exposed as a fraud, and our world leaders say nothing?
That's because it has nothing to do with the science and everything to do with control. Global warming hysteria has always been about seizing personal freedom from the sleeping giant of public outcry. We had to like it, embrace it, feel good about ourselves while our heating bills skyrocket and our lightbulbs are dictated. We had to willingly relinquish our freedom since the Constitution guarantees it's existence.

What? You smell something?

I think it smells like...
