Alan Caruba: Global Warming Fraud: Somebody Needs to Go to Jail

"The release of thousands of emails and other data, now believed to be the work of a conscious-stricken CRU insider, will as they are examined in detail reveal what has long been known to those actively opposing the 'global warming' fraud. As Christopher Horner, the author of 'Red Hot Lies', recently noted, the CRU and its lead scientists refused for years to release the data which they alleged proved that 'global warming' was happening.

"This data and the periodic reports of the IPCC are the basis for the existence of the IPCC, the Kyoto Protocol, and the 'cap-and-trade' legislation awaiting a vote in the U.S. Congress. Horner observed 'After running out of excuses, in September CRU’s Phil Jones simply claimed that he had lost the data so, sorry, no one can check it.' Horner called it 'implausible beyond comprehension.'

"And yet the United States and the representatives of many other nations will gather in Copenhagen in December for yet another UN conference on climate change, the now preferred synonym for 'global warming.' Basing any international treaty on climate change or global warming is an utterly deceitful act."
