Dismissing "anthropogenic Global Warming as a complete fraud" based on the email traffic from a handful of global warming scientists is a wee bit extreme. Certainly it doesn't look good and needs investigation, but some folks would write off anthropogenic Global Warming as fraud if one of these scientists got a parking ticket.

If the same hacked email scandal occurred with a handful of Peak Oil scientists, would it be logical to conclude that Peak Oil is a complete fraud?

It's good to see the Wall Street Journal reporting this story.

I read the WSJ story with great interest as I have begun to have my doubts that decades of research by countless climatologists, NASA, scientific organizations from every nation were accurate in their conclusions. Now, I have found the emails that prove my suspicions. Climatologist are, at the very least, not credible. "Try and change the received date" - Indeed!

It's with some chagrin that I acknowledge my gullibility. For many years I believed the whole greenhouse gas, global warming, polar ice cap melting theories. I am compelled today, to resubscribe to the WSJ for clarifying matters with one brilliant dissection of the fraudulent nature of GW data and scientific conclusions. That they have achieved this triumph using nothing more than a few lines of partially quoted emails, is all the more breathtaking and in fact, inspiring.

These supposed scientists, who I once believed were toiling in peerless scientific inquiry, have been actually "blacklisting" other scientists and suppressing the truth. "We might just have to encourage climatologists to submit papers to other journals" - What could you call this but a "smoking gun" of blacklisting? It's proof of the conspiracy to hide the real data. I'm sure when the dust settles and active suppresion of the real data stops, we'll know the truth about global warming.

Until then, I'm going to write my congressperson telling them that I have read from credible sources that AGW is a hoax, that its purpose is to further the communist ideals of wealth transfer, and that their are some honest climatologist out there who question AGW who have a tourniquet tightly around their scientific voice. These gagged climatologists (I have no doubt that some of them had received the "hockey stick" treatment) need our support to come out of the silence imposed on them by those who would seek to undermine our constitution and freedoms.

“Cap and Trade Is Dead”—Sen. Inhofe:

siliconinvestor.com

Executives of multinational energy companies have been saying for some time that ‘Cap and Trade’ is dead for 2009-2010 (e.g. siliconinvestor.com ), but Sen. Inhofe goes a step further and asserts that ‘Cap and Trade’ is dead, period. See siliconinvestor.com for a related piece.
