That Global Warming Scandal - Here's a Clue

Yes, there is now growing skepticism over the veracity of the global warming conjecture since Cimategate broke.  For those new to the scandal, RedState has the highlights:

1. Prominent environmental scientists organize a boycott of scientific journals if those journals publish scholarly material from global warming dissidents.
2. The scientists then orchestrate attacks on the dissidents because of their lack of scholarly material published in scientific journals.
3. The scientists block from the UN's report on global warming evidence that is harmful to the anthropogenic global warming consensus.
4. The scientists, when faced with a freedom of information act request for their correspondence and data, delete the correspondence and data lest it be used against them.
5. The scientists fabricate data when their data fails to prove the earth is warming. In fact, in more than one case, scientists engaged in lengthy emails on how to insert additional made up data that would in turn cause their claims to stand out as legitimate.

Whoa ... "if you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW."   The FRC's Tony Perkins writes,

Last week's Climategate showed how misguided the President's environmental policies--like cap-and-trade policies--have been. By cracking into the servers of the Climatic Research Units, hackers exposed the fraud of global warming in dozens of emails written by the world's environmental experts. According to the messages, scientists were manipulating the facts to hide their own inconvenient truth, which is that global temperatures have actually been on the decline. Of course, plenty of scientists had debunked those theories before the controversy, but President Obama insisted on moving forward with his agenda in direct contradiction to the facts.

Yes, there were many who didn't need explicit evidence of misrepresentation to see the games that were being played.  Wesley J. Smith, writes,

"I didn't need these e-mails to figure out the game being played by the global warming hysterics... Here's a clue: If the Democratic Congress refuses to investigate, they know it's true. Ditto the UN and the UK Parliament. Alas, that is my prediction.." - 

Sadly, global warming has become a cause that has been used to support any number of illigitmate agendas.  For example, fund contraception and abortion before global warming destroys the earth. A mandate (wink) is not necessary."  Now the house of is collapsing and the church of global warming has been exposed.

Update from Michelle Malkin:

The [New York] Times' lead environmental blogger, Andrew Revkin, haughtily refused to reprint damning e-mails leaked by a hacker in the burgeoning "ClimateGate" scandal. The documents reveal a long trail of manipulated data, but Revkin balked at the ill-gotten trove. The blabbermouths at the Times had no problem exposing national security secrets to undermine Bush. But shed light on scientific hoaxes that undermine Al Gore? Unethical!
