As reported by the Guardian, 160 MB of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years were recently stolen by hackers and leaked online. The article reports that "[c]limate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide 'smoking gun' evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind." This news, coupled with the Telegraph's recent piece suggesting that Al Gore could become the world's first carbon billionaire begins to make this entire situation feel a bit like insider trading.
The Heritage Foundation recently highlighted a video produced by two EPA attorneys showing that Cap and Trade actually does little to nothing in the way of helping the environment. In reality Cap and Trade legislation simply is a way for the government to make money by issuing permits to pollute and for multinational corporations and Wall Street to make money by creating a new commodity to trade. It is little more than the redistribution of wealth on a global scale.
I will leave it up to you to decide for yourself if man-made global warming is a scam or not, but if you truly care about the environment you should join in the fight to prevent these frauds from passing legislation that does little more than further bind us in the chains of economic slavery. After all, President Obama himself has said that under his Cap and Trade system "electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket" in spite of the fact that a fully implemented Kyoto Protocol would at best reduce global temperatures by one tenth of one degree Celsius by 2100.
