White House Dismisses Climategate Because Most People Believe in Global Warming

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/57795

(CNSNews.com) - As President Barack Obama prepares to travel to a global climate summit next week in Copenhagen, the White House is dismissing the climategate controversy that has arisen over the leak of email communications between top climate-change scientists that some skeptics say cast doubt on the legitimacy of the science behind the theory that human activity is causing global warming.

Obama will be attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference on Dec. 9. The conference in Copenhagen comes soon after the emails released by a computer hacker has led one Republican U.S. senator to call for an investigtation.

Some global warming skeptics have referred to the e-mails--from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit in England--as climategate.

But White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs dismissed the controversy on Monday, saying that most people dont dispute global warming.

In the order of several thousand scientists have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening, Gibbs said. I dont think that any of that is, quite frankly among most people, in dispute.

Leading global-warming skeptic Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, wants an investigation into the content of the e-mails. He has asked all government agencies to retain e-mails from the University of East Anglias Climate Research Unit.

It appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated, Inhofe said in a statement last week. I certainly don't condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called consensus' of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world's leading climate scientists.

One of the e-mails said, If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the U.K., I think I'll delete the file rather than send to anyone. It was written by Phil Jones, director of the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU)

The texts of some of the 3,000 e-mails were posted by the Wall Street Journal last week.

Another e-mail suggested that scientists hide the decline in the earths temperatures.

Obama will announce plans in Copenhagen that include reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, according to the White House.

In light of the Presidents goal to reduce emissions 83 percent by 2050, the expected pathway set forth in this pending legislation would entail a 30 percent reduction below 2005 levels in 2025 and a 42 percent reduction below 2005 in 2030, a White House release last week said.

  • I actually hope the Carbon tax goes through and we have 40% taken out of our salaries and Electric, Natural Gas and Gasoline go up by 20% - 30%.

    Maybe this will be the shock the world needs to rebel against this kind of blatant extortion.

    If they gave a damn about the world they wouldn't bail out car companies, and continue the deforestation of the planet.

    To hell with them all.

  • Obama promises to lower emissions by 83%? WELL DUH, They plan to reduce the population, so I guess that's a good thing?? We should be happy? Who gets to live, who gets to die? That's all I wanna know!

see all

  • Now isn't that "SCIENTIFIC" ! The University of East Anglia admits to throwing away raw temperature data! And this is the university that is propagating all the "facts" about global warming that fools such as Barack Obama, Al Gore, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi choose to accept without questioning its integrity.

  • The emails from the scientists promoting "global warming" clearly show what a sham the "global warming" movement is. Lie and keep the facts away from the public. You have to in order to get through an agenda like this that will put alot of money in people's pockets. This is not about science and truth ... it is all about selfishness and greed.

  • Josh you must be joshin,!,968 records where set today1/06/2010 for the coldest on record.You have been watching to many polar bear movies.The planets have all been warming a smidgin,Mars,Uranius all by the same amount,during this time period.Guess what we all have in common the sun you idiot.Look at the data.Man cannot control the climate and what little effect it has is not going to change the climate.

  • just like he said, blame it on the sun,

  • I can't find any corroboration for this, but it doesn't matter. New data is being collected every day supporting global warming. If their were credible evidence to the opposite someone would have presented it by now. Instead, the oil companies are relying on some bullshit climategate thing to make their argument.

  • nasa says they "lost" the raw data, the centre for climate change has been asked for 4 years to release their info on climat change and they refused.....thats not fabrication....if it were real then why not release the info....?

  • It's fake. They have no science to back it up. NASA won't release their finding....guss why. Stop being such a useful idiot tool and wake up.

  • 28'500'000 hits as of today.

  • Global warming happens. Man however, has nothing to do with it. Taxing the world into a system of enslavement through carbon credits will do nothing to stop what the SUN is responsible for.
