I'll add to that list with "acid rain". Whatever happened to the threat that toxic water from the sky was going to eat leaves off of trees, peel paint from cars and generally erode the landscape of the USA?????

Cap and trade, scrubbers, catayltic converters made a big dent

I hope there’s a lot more than one bad email in this lot - we really need to see a consistent chain of evidence in their attempts to produce fraudulent data. One email can be explained away and the MSN will eat it up.

You're kidding, right? I hope you're not, but I suspect you are.

See NY Times thread, posts 31, 34, 35, 36.

Just this one is enough to put someone in jail I should think.

The Hadley CRU feeds most of the UN’s IPCC it’s climate data. They are considered the premier climate change research lab.

Well, well.....I have tried to give AGW the benefit of the doubt b/c of the prominent scientists who support it. I could never understand it, as it countered everything I learned about past climate - and the models were always wrong. Hockey stick? What crap. Now this. We have seen the corruption of political science - now the corruption of natural science. You know, this is all about world control and redistribution of the wealth. This SHOULD end the “debate”. Will it??????

Sorry, but I tend to view most "scientists" as morons educated far beyond their intelligence. I have an Uncle who was a head Bio-chem and an Aunt who was an engineer for Kodak R&D. Smart folks within their narrow focus, but morons otherwise.

This scandal does not surprise me in the least. Anyone with the wit the Gods gave a goat should be able to look at the last 5-6 millions years worth of history and realize that life's impact on this mudball is MINUSCULE. We're barely scratching the surface... Literally.

Power and money were the reasons AGW even made it as far as it did. The fraudsters benefiting from the hoax deserve a speedy trial and harsh penalties...

Nothing less. Nothing more.

What gets revealed in the emails between the NY Times reporter and the researchers, is how they have subverted the system to ensure that the only allowed viewpoint is the pro-warming viewpoint. From post 34 of the NY Times thread:
if McIntyre had a legitimate point, he would submit a comment to the journal in question. of course, the last time he tried that (w/ our '98 article in Nature), his comment was rejected.
They are in control of the journals. No anti-warming comment is allowed to be published, and no viewpoint that is not published in a peer-reviewed journal is "legitimate".

The Day Global Warming Stood Still (But Warming Lies Didn’t)
Investor’s Business Daily ^ | November 20, 2009 | IBD editorial staff

Posted on Friday, November 20, 2009 5:01:45 PM by raptor22

Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December.

It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.

The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate’s version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.

“I proudly declare 2009 as the ‘Year of the Skeptic,’ the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard,” Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. “Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked.”

Inhofe added: “Today I have been vindicated.”

The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: “So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, ‘Yes. We’re going to pass a global warming bill,’ I will be able to stand up and say, ‘No, it’s over. Get a life. You lost. I won,’” Inhofe said.

Should be fraud, conspiracy, RICO and anything else that would fit — he made millions if not a billion off of the ‘junk science scam!’

Sen Inhofe has been vindicated as he has been calling it ‘junk science’ for years.

That is an interesting example of what we can do with ingenuity and technology when confronted with a real problem and allowed to apply real solutions (well, maybe not C&T, although I see how that could be beneficial in the short-term.)

I have heard my brother-in-law (TVA engineer) discuss how difficult it is to get government approval for making small changes that would improve air quality. On one hand, the gov't likes to complain about the pollution while, on the other hand, they refuse to allow them the freedom to do what the gov't demands.
