GOP Senator Tells Climate Change Researchers to Retain Controversial E-Mails

Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe has sent letters to several climate change scientists and to the inspectors general of various federal agencies notifying them to retain breached documents and e-mails that he says prove researchers are manipulating data to make the case for global warming.

The U.S. Senate's leading global warming skeptic has sent letters to several climate change scientists and to the inspectors general of various federal agencies notifying them to retain breached documents and e-mails that he says prove researchers are manipulating data to make the case for global warming.

The move by Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, is part of his push for an investigation into whether the U.N's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has fudged the science on global warming.

The controversy began a week before President Obama announced his decision to go to Copenhagen next month to outline the U.S. goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

There is a tremendous scandal in that Federal Agencies, including NASA, are fluting the law and simply IGNORING FOA requests.

They should be indicted for fraud, convicted, imprisoned, and all their possessions sold to pay back the government the money they used to perpetrate their fraud.

A number of sceptical scientists named in the emails had their reputations besmirched and careers damaged by these goons. Hopefully they will sue the bad guys and their universities.

This is what happens when governments fund science. It becomes a big money grab. They’ll lie, cheat and steal to keep the free money coming.

“There’s certainly disputes among scientists and how to deal with the skeptics and so on, but not about the science itself,” he told Fox News.

If scientific ethics are not observed, then it taints the result of their research. So yes, it does affect the science itself.

To what degree does US law apply? The emails were hacked in Britain.

Yes, but several of the co-conspirators were in the US.

“This is what happens when governments fund science. It becomes a big money grab. They’ll lie, cheat and steal to keep the free money coming.”

Therein lies the real truth of this whole sordid matter: Government money has made whores of people who are members of a once, long ago, honorable profession

I see now how the leftists will handle this...

our local paper....the Spokesman Review....carried the story about the blatant fraud from England on the LAST page of the first section of the Sunday paper...

Today, they had FRONT PAGE news how our local energy barron is joining others itn this crap and trade bill because of the horrible consequences of "global warming"....

they will control the news..who sees or hears what....and the sheeple will just go along...

of course the leftists work for the ultra rich oligharchy...

the media IS the message...

Europe, New Zealand, and the US all fudging data. Does this sound like a rogue operation? Something’s behind this more than looney environmentalists.
