Senator Inhofe calls for a criminal investigation into Climategate

FINALLY!

  Senator James Inhofe has asked the Obama administration to open up a criminal investigation into the Climategate scandal, calling it “the greatest scientific scandal of our generation.” It is about time that someone stood up and demanded an investigation into this scandal as America is on the verge of passing cap and trade legislation either through legislation or through the EPA.

[The] Minority Staff of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works believe the scientists involved may have violated fundamental ethical principles governing taxpayer-funded research and, in some cases, federal laws. In addition to these findings, we believe the emails and accompanying documents seriously compromise the IPCC -backed “consensus” and its central conclusion that anthropogenic emissions are inexorably leading to environmental catastrophes.

  Senator Inhofe has summed it all up perfectly. Between the possible criminal activity and the ethical questions that have arisen because of this scandal, and the manipulated data that allowed these “scientists” to arrive at their “consensus,” many questions have come to light regarding this issue. It would be irresponsible and unforgivable for congress or the EPA to move forward on regulating carbon emissions. But James Inhofe didn’t stop there, he wants Al Gore to answer questions in front of congress also:

“In [Gore’s] science fiction movie, every assertion has been rebutted,” Inhofe said. He believes Vice President Gore should defend himself and his movie before Congress.

   Now we are talking! Al Gore has been spouting his nonsense uncontested for far too long and it is about time that he answers questions under oath. Al Gore has made millions, and stands to make millions more on this fraud and it is about time that he is held accountable for his deception.

  Climategate has thrown the global warming cause into chaos and rightfully so. Scientists have been ignoring data for years while manipulating the data they chose to use in order to ensure the taxpayer funded grant money kept flowing in, and for congress to move on any kind of cap and trade legislation now without first  investigating the claims would be beyond irresponsible.

  If the global warming scientists, Al Gore, Barack Obama, and the rest of the cap and trade proponents believe that no crime has been comitted than they should have no problem with holding a hearing on this issue; perhaps it would help them to gain support if they could successfully argue their point. But they will not allow this to go to a hearing because they know that these scientists have been full of shit all of these years. So they will continue to suppress this information and deny a hearing while hoping this scandal will disappear– and the media is all to willing to help make this issue disappear.

  That is why it is so important for other members of the House and Senate stand up and not allow Senator Inhofe to be the lone voice crying out in the wilderness on this issue. We need others to stand up alongside James Inhofe and demand a hearing into Climategate; the stakes are too high to let such a scandal pass without a fight. But it will be up to us; we need to call, write, and email our congressmen and senators and demand a hearing into this scandal! Time is running out, the time for action is now!
