Inhofe Begins Hadley Center Climategate Investigation

Senator Inhofe spoke many times with facts that didn't support Global Warming theories of some of the scientific community who allowed politics to enter into their research, yet the Al Gore's and Barbara Boxer's made fun of the information he presented and ridiculed the Senator. Now we are seeing who had the facts and the data to back up his junk science claim -- it was Sen Jim Inhofe. Guess we could expect an apology from all those that ridiculed Senator Inhofe but we are not holding our breath.

We prefer to encourage Senator Inhofe in his investigation as to why this fraud of Global Warming was allowed to continue for so long. May we be so bold to ask how much money some of these scientists made off of their flawed use of data to get the results pointing to Global Warming.

Inhofe Begins Hadley Center "Climategate" Investigation
Warns Participants to Retain Documents

Link to Press Release

Washington, D.C.-Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today sent letters to several scientists, some of whom allegedly manipulated data to prove the scientific "consensus" of global warming, as well as to the inspectors general of several federal agencies, notifying them to retain documents related to the release of emails from the Hadley Center's Climate Research Unit.

"The stakes in this controversy are significant, as it appears that the basis of federal programs, pending EPA rulemakings, and cap-and-trade legislation was contrived and fabricated," Sen. Inhofe said. "Moreover, it appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated.

"I certainly don't condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called ‘consensus' of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world's leading climate scientists."

The letters are the first step in the investigation of the Hadley Center climate scandal. Last week, emails released by a computer hacker revealed that several leading climate scientists allegedly manipulated climate data and research used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These scientists also appear to have refused outside access to their raw data, obstructed freedom of information requests, and plotted ways to prevent the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals by scientists who question global warming alarmism.

Link to 2005 Inhofe Senate Floor Speech: "Today, I will discuss something else - scientific integrity and how to improve it. Specifically, I will discuss the systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective scientific assessment in the world on the subject of climate change - the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. I will conclude with a series of recommendations as to the minimum changes the IPCC must make if it is to restore its credibility."
