If you haven’t read or heard about the “Climategate” scandal, you should have. The Climate Research Unit (CRU) in East Anglia, England had their email server hacked and several hundred of their emails have been released publicly. None of these bode well for the CRU and their “manipulation” of the data used to prove “Climate Change” is being caused by “man-made sources”. They also reveal a very unscientific manner in refusing Freedom of Information requests, deleting data, forging and “tricking” data, and overtaking peer review journals that have dissenting editors reviewing their work. No one in the CRU is denying their authenticity.

To take raw data, “trick” it into making it support your hypothesis isn’t science. Refusing peer review of your data sets (raw), analysis of your computer programs that generate the models, and refusing FOI requests is simply very bad science and obtuse at best. To expect any government body, specifically the IPCC arm of the United Nations, to rely on your “research” in developing legislation or policy is absurd in light of these emails.

Here are the facts regarding the CRU:

1. American taxpayers have been funding the CRU in England for years through various grants directly and through the NOAA
2. The U.N.’s IPCC has been relying heavily on their “research” to develop the Kyoto and Copenhagen Climate Change treaties.
3. The House and Senate version of the Cap and Trade bills are heavily relying on the CRU’s “science” in assuming man-made global warming exists.

Under the Kyoto and the Copenhagen accords, highly industrial nations are going to be required to literally TAX energy. Our scheme in Congress requires the purchase of carbon credits to offset excessive emissions of CO2 over and above the “Cap” you are allotted. These “credits” are going to be a new form of “security” that will be sold like stocks and bonds and will be available to the highest bidder if a companies initial allotment of these carbon credits exceeds their needs. Alternative and renewable energy sources are exempt, but any carbon based fuels used to generate electricity, fuels to run our vehicles, or industries that use carbon based fuels to manufacture products (ie. Steel) will be forced to buy credits over and above their “cap” of CO2. Because these “credits” are traded on the open market, the Goldman-Sachs, the G.E.’s, and others engaged in the trading of Carbon Credits will generate unbelievable profits.

YOUR energy costs will rise as well. Electricity and gasoline prices will skyrocket. Prices for ALL goods transported by any means will rise as well due to increase in transportation costs. It is estimated that 1.9 million jobs will be shed as well as many factories and industries will simply shut down due to these increased energy costs.

The Copenhagen Treaty will assure that our nation, with our existing industries, will pay into the IMF (through initial carbon-credit allocation purchases) and will finance the growth of third world economies by assuring them they can have industries and factories that will allow them to “catch up” to the rest of the world. These low to no interest “loans” will come from the IMF as well as from investments by the Investment Bankers (Goldman-Sachs to name one), the G.E.’s, and any OTHER companies who are now located in the United States and need a good “excuse” to move even more American jobs to developing nations.

ALL of this is being done with YOUR tax dollars. Consider that these utilities, manufacturers, and oil companies that will pay for these “carbon credits”, will pass their costs directly to YOU in the form of higher prices. As more and more of our energy consuming industries move to these “developing nations”, our economic growth base declines. Energy needs WILL be reduced in America and production of energy sources in developing nations explodes- economically and in quantity. Since they are NOT subject to “cap and trade” schemes, the cost of doing business in these countries is so much less, it means OUR industries are moved overseas and we are left with virtually none. Simply look at the number of factories moved to China, Mexico, and Indonesia since the NAFTA treaty and you get the idea of what America is going to look like in a few short years.

Relying on BAD SCIENCE is going to devastate our nations economy even further should the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade act pass, or if ANY Senate bill passes and the two are subject to reconciliation by both bodies of Congress. Once again, the Liberals in Congress have discovered another way to “SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND”, and it’s NOT to Americans!! They are selling out America and relying on VERY BAD SCIENCE to do so. Rep. Corrine Brown voted FOR this devastation of our American industries and the loss of jobs to follow should it become law.

It is time for Americans to know the truth and to take action to stop this bill from ever moving to debate. I suspect that the Senate isn’t going to listen as the leadership will push for a vote after the first of the year to consider debate on this bill in spite of “BAD SCIENCE” used to even consider such legislation. It has NOTHING to do with your understanding of the effects on our nation’s economy, but everything to do with making sure YOUR wealth disappears,  and OUR NATIONS’ capability from ever recovering doesn’t happen. It is all about making YOU dependent on government for more and more of your basic needs, and entrenching their power for generations to come.

I ask that you take action to make sure that Common Sense, Conservatives are elected in 2010. Volunteer, tell others, and make a financial contribution to help Mike get elected. He understands the devastation that will happen with Cap and Trade and the Copenhagen treaty will have on our nation and our economy. Mike will work to make sure that America comes first and that WE THE PEOPLE have control of our government once again. It’s time to tell these Special Interest groups, lobbyists, and the Al Gore’s that it’s time they stopped getting rich off the backs of the American people with your bad science and schemes to defraud us all.

Help elect Mike to Congress and put Common Sense back to work for YOU!
