Global Warming Hacked

Global Warming stands at the crossroads of scientific tomfoolery and economic ignorance.

Now, with the hacking of one of the principle citadels of this world wide fraud, the jig may be up for the global warming swindlers, according to James Delingpole. 

The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet.

He shares some damning evidence in his excellent article.  These are actual quotes from the "scientists":

Manipulation of evidence:

I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.

Private doubts about whether the world really is heating up:

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.

The Washington Post has a short piece on this here:  WaPo - Climate Fudge Factory Hacked

Loony Left:  We shall not be moved (despite the evidence of fraud)
None of this matters to the left.  Can't let facts get in the way of a good global scam.  Self-described "Environmental Strategist" Andrew Winston is a typical fount of nonsense: 

we need a cap and price on carbon so we can compete and innovate. 

This is nonsensical, so he elaborates:

Without a cost on carbon and some restrictions on total emissions, the "externality" that is climate change won't be priced into our investment decisions.

In other words, we need to make the cost of fossil fuels artificially high so inefficient, pie-in-the-sky "green technologies" can compete.  Jack up everybody's light bill to line Al Gore's pockets.  Go ahead Dems, run on that in 2010.
