A short time ago, the computer files were hacked that contained sensitive emails from Global Warming Pushing Scientists to themselves. These files contained a treasure trove of information that details how the Global Warming Pushers have buffaloed everyone for so long.

Since they know that global warming is a crock, it is easy to “cook the books”. They did this in a number of ways. One was to add data to what they had to make the temperature levels rise or at least level out. Another was to ignore “inconvenient truths” that did not fit the model they wanted. By cooking the books and closing ranks around the false data, they made it extremely difficult to fight against the hoax that is global warming.

Anyone who strayed from the orthodoxy was ridiculed or even destroyed professionally. They played for keeps. They took no prisoners. They gloated when someone who did not believe as they did died and wondered how they could make more die.

They made sure that if you “believed” you got grants to fund research to your heart’s content. They only thing the believers asked in return was that the conclusion of your research supported global warming. Since they were the source of your funding, the scientists involved were very glad to oblige.

Now the fallout begins from the scandal. The leading climate scientist that has led the global warming cry in England for decades has resigned in disgrace. Other shoes will fall as the scandal widens and more people become aware of it. Politicians have to be shaking in their boots. Their grand design on your pocketbook is now in jeopardy. If the public becomes aware of the scandal, the ability to pass any cap and tax system will come crashing down.

Barack Obama is ignoring the scandal. Of course, he has surrounded himself with the most scientifically aware scientists in the world. That was sarcasm. His cadre of scientific advisors does not contain one scientist that believes in the truth. All of them are highly motivated supporters of global warming. As a result, the Obama administration is ignoring the scandal and going to Copenhagen. In Copenhagen, they hope to sign away US sovereignty for a reduction of 17% in greenhouse gases. You know the ones, those that you breathe in and out every breath. They make it sound like a pollutant, but plants require it for life and you produce it every breath. You are not about to produce a pollutant in your own body.

The best thing about the Copenhagen fiasco that Obama is going to commit is that it has to be confirmed by the US Senate. Now, generally that is a good thing, but in this case Democrats have 60 votes. But, I think even Democrats would have second thoughts about destroying the US economy if enough people contacted them. You never know, stranger things have happened. Also, Democrats occasionally do the right thing. I know it is rare, but it has happened. I can’t remember the last time it did happen, but it must have happened at some time during my lifetime.

The Obama administration just released a memo that flies in the face of all recent scientific evidence. They announced that global warming is even worse than we have imagined. That this report came from the Obama administration is not surprising. Almost all members of the administration have a bias in favor of global warming. The report was put together by 30 members of the administration. There are no reports on whether there is one scientific degree among the 30 people involved in the report. If not, that would be typical of reports supporting global warming for the past four or five years. Scientists have jumped from the global warming ship in huge numbers. About all that are left are journalists, politicians, communists and non-scientists.

The timing of this report was particularly funny. The Northern Great Plains has been setting records for cold for the past three months. Even Chicago has reported the lowest June temperatures that have ever been recorded. England reported the first snowfall in June in over 100 years or since the end of the little ice age. With all the north countries setting records for cold, you have little chance of people agreeing with the premise that the earth is warming at an alarming rate. There has been no evidence that the earth as warmed at all since 1998. My oldest granddaughter is 10 ½. She has never experienced a year where the temperature has been more than the year before. That is starting to be some sort of a trend.

The reason the global warming people want you to believe that the earth is warming is so they can impose regulations to “solve” the crisis. If there is no crisis, you will not allow these rules to be imposed. So, they have to get you to believe that the crisis is imminent and that your action now will solve the problem. The fact that the evidence shows that there is no warming is just an “inconvenient fact”.

The “Cap and Trade” Bill is supposed to come to a vote next week. This bill will increase the average energy bill of every family in America by about $1500. The actual amount will vary by region, but that is supposed to be the average. Since the government never makes any accurate predictions, you can bet that the average will exceed $1500 by a large margin. It will drive up the cost of everything, not just energy. If you like the current recession that we are experiencing, you will really enjoy the big depression that this bill will cause.

The economy is still in the midst of a recession. People are out of work in large numbers. Tax revenues are down. Homes are not selling well because people cannot afford them. Interest rates on home loans are low to encourage home ownership, but homes still are not selling. This is not the time to impose additional taxes. In my estimation, there is never a good time to add taxes. This is an especially bad time to add taxes as the economy has no cushion at all.

The Democrats that support the “Cap and Trade” bill have a plan on what they want to get done. They know that the time to get things done is closing. People are starting to grumble and when that starts, their window of opportunity is shutting. Democrats from vulnerable districts are starting to take notice that these socialist programs are not selling well in their districts. They know that more socialist programs will doom them to defeat in 2010. There may be enough support for the Cap and Trade bill in Democrat circles to pass the bill, but that support will erode with time. The Democrats know they have to pass it now or never see it passed. In fact, it may already be too late. It failed in one try earlier. This is one they are trying to slip through the back door. All Republicans have to do is just highlight the huge tax increase for no reasonable purpose and the idea will die for lack of support. At least, that is what I hope happens.
