Climategate!

Climategate!
This has got to be the BIGGEST science scandal in history, but the Mainstream media is mum.
A whistleblower hacked and released thousands of emails between the biggest names in global warming, discussing HOW to hide the recent cooling, HOW to massage the data to show the infamous hockey stick, etc.
Incredible!
Climategate: “Men behaving badly” – a short summary for laymen Watts Up With That?
And now Fox news has an article showing the use of Environmental religion as a means of ceding power from the national governments to the supranational government (UN):
Document Reveals U.N.'s Goal of Becoming Rule-Maker in Global Environmental Talks - United Nations - FOXNews.com
Pinch your nose that it’s on Fox, but browse the supporting PDFs
The actual UN plan is here

I found this all very interesting. The media's been giving it some coverage, I was watching last night after having read some articles about it during the day.
Some congressmen, as I saw last night, are now treating climate change as an open-and-shut case, figuring that this new revelation is proof that it's 100% scam. We're still losing a lot of ice at the poles, if this is all a scam then...

You needed these emails to tell you global warming is a farce and a way for Al Gore to make some major bank?
However, I'm pretty sure there has been global warming, oh sorry "climate change", since the last Last Glacial Maximum some 20,000 ago. Touche.

+1. Ditto on the newer cleaner coal tech too.
The problem with this deception is not just that the scientists started fabricating lies to get on the gravy train (Phil Jones got something like $10M in grants in 7 years), but the consequences were very far reaching, steering billions in tax money and increasing world energy costs by the trillions for everyone.
The argument that Big Business is sowing anti global warming propanda doesn't hold water.
For every corporation that will lose money due to CO2 taxation and reduced fossil fuel usage, there is another that will make even more money from CO2 taxation and increased usage of non-CO2 emitting sources of energy.
The simple fact is, reducing CO2 emissions will INCREASE the total expenditure on energy. Thus, there is MORE money to be made by shifting energy sources to non-CO2 emitting sources, by simple virtue of the fact that the money stream gets bigger.
The Goldman Sachs / Cap and Trade faction will make MORE than the Oil industry will lose. Besides, the Oil industry has probably already invested in renewable energy, such as windmill and solar technology... which would probably make more money for them than oil.

General Electric has more to gain than most when it comes to "green" tech things to sell and they just happen to own one of the biggest green cheerleaders around - NBC Television/MSNBC/Universal Pictures.
Short article about it-
HuffPo Decries General Electric's Control of NBC, MSNBC ...But Only On Some Topics | NewsBusters.org
If you need another reason to hate them, they are the same bastards that unleashed the Fast and Furious trilogy on the world.

The root of the problem is allowing gov't the power to write economic interventionist laws labelled "regulations". This means that the laws will be written as per the highest bidder. If instead the free market were left alone, all these big corporations would actually have to compete on a level playing field, selling products that consumers want to buy, just like all the little guys.
re: fixing old power plants - gov't shouldn't pay for it (that would mean the taxpayer pays for it) - the owners should pay for fixing it, and the investment should have to compete with other investments. The problem is the uber expensive gov't regulations on nuclear power.

I don't often praise France but we could really take a page from them on power generation. They have nuclear plants out the *** and EDF is recognized as a world leader in nuclear power technology. Our older nuclear plants probably aren't worth fixing, certainly as a taxpayer I wouldn't want the govt paying for that. Just allow the energy companies to pay the Frogs to come in and build some of their modern reactors that are more efficient and safer than what we've already got. We would have all that capability ourselves, if not for that little incident at Three Mile Island putting the fear of nuclear meltdown into every American household. But as it is, we haven't approved a new nuclear plant in decades. Power reactors have long service lifetimes but they are not infinite, and we need to get started building new ones before our **** gets much older and more decrepit than it already is.
