The biggest international hoax of modern times—global warming—took another damaging blow with the release on the Internet Nov. 22 of thousands of e-mails from scientists on the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) showing they deliberately misrepresented the scientific literature in order to support their alarmist position on global warming.

This new revelation follows the 2009 scandal when UN scientists were first discovered engaged in a cover-up of their erroneous information.
The new batch of hacked e-mails reveals the complicity of the U.S. Department of Energy in one of the four e-mails released from Professor Phil Jones, the disgraced head of the University of Anglia’s Climate Research Unit and lead author of a key chapter in the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report in 2007. Jones is quoted as saying:

Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we get and has been well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder [u.S. Dept. Of Energy] in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.

That quote was included in a release on the new scandal from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a non-profit think tank.
Myron Ebell, director of CEI’s Center on Energy and the Environment, said, “If there were any doubts remaining…the new batch of E-mails…make it clear” that the IPCC “is an organized conspiracy dedicated to tricking the world into believing that global warming is a crisis that requires a drastic response…[T]he energy rationing policies that their junk science is meant to support would cost trillions of dollars.”


Barack Obama and most Democrats in Congress have been global warming advocates through the years. A Democratic initiative to create a global warming “propaganda office” to consolidate operations hit a stonewall at a congressional hearing where National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials defended the plans in Obama’s fiscal 2012 budget, the Washington Times reported in June.
The hearing came a day after alarmist-in-chief on global warming, Al Gore, sulked and whined that the Democrats’ “cap and trade” plan to curb greenhouse gas emission had not become law.

The new e-mails—5,000 of them—were anonymously release to the public, setting off a firestorm of controversy, a Forbes.com op-ed column noted.

These new emails are quite damning. A good summary and lots of detail here: http://www.wattsupwiththat.com
