Al Gore should testify on global warming fraud, says Senator



February 23, 2010Law Enforcement ExaminerJim Kouri

A ranking U.S. Senator is demanding that former Vice President Al Gore be a part of a comprehensive government investigation into allegations that scientists and special interest groups have perpetrated the "greatest scientific scandal of our generation."

A ranking member of the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), is openly questioning the veracity of those within the scientific and political communities who are using so-called climate change data to push economic and social policy.

Senator Inhofe is asking the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate whether there has been research misconduct or criminal actions by the scientists involved, including Dr. Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University and Dr. James Hansen of Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Science, who are suspected of manipulating their research to fulfill a political agenda.

"We knew they were cooking the science to support the flawed UN IPCC agenda. As I said on the Senate floor back in 2005 that the IPCC has demonstrated an unreasoning resistance to accepting constructive critiques of its scientific and economic methods, even in the report itself...this is a recipe for de-legitimizing the entire endeavor in terms of providing credible information that is useful to policy makers," said Inhofe.

Senator Inhofe is also demanding that former Vice President Al Gore come before the U.S. Senate to testify about what he knew -- and when he knew -- about what's become known as ClimateGate.

“In [Gore's] science fiction movie, every assertion has been rebutted,” Inhofe said. He believes Vice President Gore should defend himself and his movie before Congress.

Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, won an Academy Award for Best Documentary and has been heralded as a major achievement. However, more and more experts have discovered inaccuracies in the motion picture's assertions.

In his statement, Senator Inhofe said:

What emerges from our review of the emails and documents, which span a 13-year period from 1996 through November 2009, is much more than, as EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson put it, scientists who "lack interpersonal skills." Rather, the emails show the world's leading climate scientists discussing, among other things:

* Obstructing the release of damaging data and information;
* Manipulating data to reach preconceived conclusions;
* threatening journal editors who published work questioning the climate science "consensus"; and
* Assuming activist roles to influence the political process.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the household cost of proposed environmental legislation would be $175 a year per household.

However, some industry-cited studies have put the cost much higher, some claiming possible added costs of as much as $3,000 per year per household. President Barack Obama and administration officials are on the record as backing the Senate bill especially its provision to to slash greenhouse gas emissions and boost investment in renewable energy.
