Confuse the issue, as in Bringing up

one irrelevant fact after another,

he succeeded in muddying the waters.

“I just had a phone call where someone said Sarah Palin’s web site had talked about the House bill having death panels on it where people would be euthanized. How someone could take an end of life directive or a living will as that is nuts”. ---Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA)

21 National Academies of Science Have Called for Action on Climate Change

“It is unequivocal that the climate is changing, and it is very likely that this is predominantly caused by the

increasing human interference with the atmosphere. These changes will transform the environmental conditions on

Earth unless counter-measures are taken.” --- 2007 Joint Statement, Signed by 13 National Academies of Science

Not to mention these radical environmentalists

• Shell Oil Co. "It's a waste of time to debate it," he said. "Policymakers have a responsibility to address it. The nation needs a public policy. We'll adjust."

• Munich Reinsurance"We need to stop this dangerous experiment humankind is conducting on the Earth's atmosphere."

• Wal-Mart"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

• DuPont“We came to the conclusion that the science was compelling and that action should be taken”

• Swiss Reinsurance"Risk of climate change is real. It's here. It's affecting our business today,“

• NRG Energy“Companies and industries which deny the issue will be marginalized."

Current Hullabaloo Over Hacked CRU Emails

16

Wikipedia summary: The stolen material comprised more than 1,000 e-mails, 2,000 documents, as well as commented Fortran source code, pertaining to climate change research covering a period from 1996 until 2009. Some of the e-mails purportedly included discussions of how to combat the arguments of climate change skeptics, unflattering comments about skeptics, queries from journalists, drafts of scientific papers, keeping scientists who have contrary views out of peer-review literature, and talk of destroying various files in order to prevent data being revealed under the Freedom of Information Act.

Involves just one research institution and while it may reflect poorly on the scientists in the email – nothing undermines the science itself.

Joy in MudvilleClimate-gate: the final nail in the coffin of “anthropogenic global warming – James Delingpole

“The global warming scandal of the century” – Michelle Malkin

The debate's over. There's no global warming – Sean Hannity

said to senator boxer re:

climate change legislation,

“it’s over. Get a life.

You lost. I won!’

- Sen. James Inhofe

Mud Fest

SUPPORTS INHOFE CALL FOR “ full

investigation into this scandal. Because it involves many of the same personalities and entities behind the Copenhagen conference, Climate-

gate calls into question many of the proposals being pushed there, including anything that would lead to a cap and tax plan.”

ADMITS CLIMATE CHANGE IS OCCURRING –WHICH SHE HAS OBSERVED “firsthand while

serving as governor of our only Arctic state. But while we recognize the effects . . . we cannot primarily blame man’s activities for the earth’s cyclical weather changes.” -- Sarah palin.

The Rebuttal

The verdict on global warming is in -- it's caused by humans and it is happening and nothing in the emails challenges that. . . . . "ClimateGate" itself is a misnomer. Perhaps the nickname should be "SwiftHack" for the way people with political agendas have "swiftboated" the global warming reality. As world attention turns to the climate conference in Copenhagen this December, this email hack acts as a distraction from the huge task at hand of getting world leaders to commit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As professor Richard Somerville says, "We're facing an effort by special interests who are trying to confuse the public."
