Climategate
I recently received an email stating how taxes on CO2 emissions is stupid, so felt compelled to write something. Plants need CO2 for photosynthesis, so lets get rid of all CO2? :-)
You want conspiracy? How about scheming by political powers.
The carbon and emissions trading (Cap and Trade) is an oft criticised scheme to introduce a worldwide trading scheme for which the rich will become richer, the poor poorer and markets will spring up. Carbon trading futures anyone?!
Pushed by Obama:
“While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.”
Pushed by Al Gore:
“Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself–the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner” - and GenerationIM founded by Gore is involved with CCX, the Chicago Climate Exchange. CCX are involved in Cap and Trade, carbon trading futures.
CCX are “… North America’s only active greenhouse gas cap-and-trade system, with global affiliates and projects worldwide. Members include … Offset Providers, who own or administer eligible greenhouse gas mitigation projects; and Liquidity Providers, who trade on CCX for purposes other than compliance, such as market makers or proprietary trading groups.”
Of course, GenerationIM founded by Gore - is a MEMBER of said CCX, and as stated above from the CCX page GenerationIM as a member will “… trade on CCX for purposes other than compliance”. So Gore can buy his own carbon credits from himself and then trade them. Hmmmmm.
The same man who made the “Inconvienient truth” movie, using the “Hockey Stick” temperature chart - based upon the data from the East Anglia University in the UK. His movie has findings based upon recently leaked data and emails and shows fudging and “tricks” made to the data.
You can search and read the leaked emails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.
“The authenticity of these emails has been confirmed by most of the relevant parties including the CRU at Univeristy of East Anglia and many of the authors. These emails contain some quite surprising and even disappointing insights into what has been happening within the climate change scientific establishment. Worryingly this same group of scientists are very influential in terms of economic and social policy formation around the subject of climate change.”
It’s simple to search. Here is a quote from a particular email:
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..
If you want further info, Andrew bolt has a good writeup on Al Gore and falsifications.
Reader comments on the age show the same understanding of Gore. Something is happening, change is in the air - but what is it?
