ClimateGate: GLOBAL WARMING EMAIL SCANDAL (summary, links)

GLOBAL WARMING SCIENTISTS EXPOSED?
(CAVEAT: the following is alleged…the story is still developing)

The story: Allegedly, a hacker or whistleblower posted online the global warming email exchanges of one of the world’s leading climate research centers. The alleged emails suggest the global warming scientists colluded and manipulated data to push their global warming agenda.
Hacked: Climate Research Unit (CRU) at University of East Anglia in Britain
Hackers: Unknown if hacker, whistleblower, or carelessness at an open FTP server
What was hacked/released: About 61 megabytes (MB), containing thousands of emails, hundreds of files, data, and code.
Emails from/to: Phil Jones, director of CRU, to original hockey stick authors (Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcom Hughes)…and others
- Gavin Schmidt of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies
- Eugene Wahl of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Paleoclimatology Program
- Caspar Ammann of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s Climate and Global Dynamics Division
- Benjamin Santer, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif.
- Michael E. Mann, director of the Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Center
- Obama’s science czar, John Holdren (see Obama Connection below)

The scandal: Data manipulation, collusion, suppression of evidence and squelching of dissent seem to be the tactics used by the global warming scientists as illustrated on their allegedly leaked correspondence. If these emails are true, these scientists did everything to push their global warming viewpoints.

UK Telegraph lists what the alleged emails reveal about the global warming scientists:
- Manipulation of evidence
- Suppression of evidence
- Private doubts about whether the world really is heating up
- Fantasies of violence against prominent Climate Skeptic scientists
- Attempts to disguise the inconvenient truth of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP)
- Strategies to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process

Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports:

The correspondence between dozens of climate-change researchers, including many in the U.S., illustrates bitter feelings among those who believe human activities cause global warming toward rivals who argue that the link between humans and climate change remains uncertain.

Some emails also refer to efforts by scientists who believe man is causing global warming to exclude contrary views from important scientific publications.

CONSEQUENCES
Warning Signs wants jail time for those behind the global warming fraud:
If the CRU “doctored the data supporting the global warming claims of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) means that EVERYTHING attributed to or based upon “global warming” is invalid,” such as:
- the Kyoto Climate Protocols that nations agreed to on December 11, 1997
- all subsequent agreements based on “global warming”
- “carbon credits” that industries, utilities, and other entities purchased for the “right” to use energy
- billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars in grants and other payments given to scientists and environmental groups for their so-called research
- Al Gore’s pusillanimous “documentary”
- every statement uttered by any scientist, academician, or politician claiming that something, anything, should be done to avoid “global warming.”

“This data and the periodic reports of the IPCC are the basis for the existence of the IPCC, the Kyoto Protocol, and the “cap-and-trade” legislation awaiting a vote in the U.S. Congress.”

THE PILGRIMS’ MISSION – To Advance the Christian Faith READ THE PILGRIMS’ OWN WRITINGS
In 1620, a small group of pilgrims arrived in New England and
wrote out the Mayflower Compact
creating their own community
“for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith.”

THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT – Signed by the Pilgrims in 1620
FULL OF REFERENCES TO GOD AND THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

Modern Transcription:

“In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc.

PILGRIMS’ WRITINGS – Early Christian records of the U.S. history THE PILGRIMS WROTE JOURNALS NARRATING THEIR EXPERIENCES – God was central to their lives. ● “OF PLIMOTH PLANTATION” written by the Pilgrim Governor William Bradford (Governor of the Pilgrams for over 30 years) e-book: History of Plymouth Plantation 1606-1646 (PDF) e-book: History of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647
	This journal “Of Plimoth Plantation” was written by Pilgrim Governor William Bradford – check the Massachusetts Records, here, here, and here The Massachusetts State House stores the hand-written journal of Mayflower Captain and Pilgrim Governor William Bradford where he narrates the first years of the Pilgrim colony at Plymouth. The Pilgrims sailed from England on the Mayflower and arrived in Massachusetts in 1620 where Bradford served as the colony’s first governor. Bradford wrote an account of the settlement from 1620 to 1646, titling it “Of Plimoth Plantation.” The hand-written journal describes the voyage of The Mayflower and the Pilgrims’ experience settling in Plymouth Originally titled “The Log of the Mayflower” contains an account as narrated by Mayflower Captain William Bradford who was one of the Company of Englishmen who left England in April 1620 in the ship known as “The Mayflower.” He also narrates the circumstances leading to their prior Settlement in Holland, their return to England and subsequent departure for New England, their landing at Cape Cod in December 1620, their Settlement at New Plymouth and their later history for several years. This record is an invaluable source for the early history of Massachusetts and the United States. The manuscript contains a copy of the Mayflower Compact (the original copy, written on board the Mayflower, no longer exists), a list of passengers who sailed on the vessel. (p19)

PILGRIMS’ WRITINGS – Thanksgiving to God THE FIRST THANKSGIVING AT PLYMOUTH – to honor God for His deliverance and providence.
As narrated by the Pilgrim, Captain and Governor William Bradford in his manuscript “Of Plymoth Plantation” (originally titled “The Log of the Mayflower”)
"Of Plimoth Plantation" By Pilgrim William Bradford	PILGRIMS GAVE THANKS TO GOD ● The grateful Pilgrims therefore declared a three-day feast in December 1621 to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. ● It is primarily from the Pilgrim’s Thanksgiving celebration of 1621 that we derive the current tradition of Thanksgiving Day. Modern transcription: “And thus, they found the Lord to be with them in all their ways, and to bless their outgoings & incomings, for which let his holy name have the praise for ever, to all posterity. They began now to gather in the small harvest they had, and to fit up their houses and dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health and strength and had all things in good plenty. For as some were thus employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish, of which they took good store, of which every family had their portion. All the summer there was no want; and now began to come in store of fowl, as winter approached, of which this place did abound when they came first (but afterward decreased by degrees). And besides waterfowl there was great store of wild turkeys, of which they took many, besides venison, etc. Besides, they had about a peck of meal a week to a person, or now since harvest, Indian corn to that proportion. Which made many afterwards write so largely of their plenty here to their friends in England, which were not feigned but true reports.”

● “MOURT’S RELATION” written by Pilgrim Governor Edward Winslow, 1621 (Governor of the Pilgrims several times) e-book: Mourt’s Relation or Journal of the Plantation at Plymouth (PDF)
"Mourt's Relation" by Pilgrim Edward Winslow	Modern transcription: “…our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labors; they four in one day killed as much fowl, as with a little help beside, served the Company almost a week, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deer, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governor, and upon the Captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.“ This journal Mourt’s Relation was: - Written primarily by Pilgrims and Mayflower passengers: Edward Winslow, William Bradford. - Written between November 1620 and November 1621. - Describes the landing of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, their exploring and eventual settling at Plymouth, their building of the Colony, their relations with the surrounding Indians, including the First Thanksgiving. - Originally printed in 1622 under the tile A Relation or Journal of the English Plantation settled at Plymouth, is the first published account of the coming of the Pilgrims to the New World to settle Plymouth Plantation.

PILGRIMS & CAPITALISM PILGRIMS FIND SUCCESS IN CAPITALISM (as written by the Pilgrim’s second Governor, William Bradford)
Pilgrims embrace Capitalism (from the journal of Pilgrim William Bradford)	Pilgrims corn production increased when each family was assigned a parcel ● For the Pilgrims, life was a constant battle for survival. Later, Governor William Bradford made a decision. Instead of the colonists sharing their crops equally, he assigned a parcel of land to each family and told them they could keep whatever they produced for themselves. ● ‘This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.’ If you can keep everything you make, of course you’re going to work harder …more Modern transcription: “All this while no supply was heard of, neither knew they when they might expect any. So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advice of the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other things to go on in the general way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.“ more

DECONSTRUCTING PELOSI HEALTHCARE

Cost Estimates
• Heritage: It will Cost $2.6 Trillion
• CBO: New House Health Bill Spending Estimate, $3 Trillion over 10 Years
• AP: Pelosi healthcare will cost more than $1.2 trillion

New Government Powers (WSJ) • Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement. • Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a “qualified plan” covers and how much you’ll be legally required to pay for it. That’s like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later. • PENALTY: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail: as explained by the letter from the Joint Committe on Taxation (PDF) and handwritten note (H/t: IUSB vision, Politico, Drudge 11/6/09)

U.S. CODE TITLE 26 – INTERNAL REVENUE CODE: 26 USC Sec. 7201 Attempt to evade or defeat tax Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution. (Find law via: GPO Access, Office of the Law Revision Counsel)

New Tax Hikes (Americans for Tax Reform (ATR))
• Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): about 2.5% of gross income
• Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 324) for Non-prescription medications
• Excise Tax on Medical Devices (Page 339)
• $2500 Cap on Flexible Spending Accounts (Page 325): (currently uncapped)
• 20% additional tax on Non-Qualified HSA Distributions (Page 326)
• Surtax on Individuals and Small Businesses (Page 336): This would raise the top marginal tax rate in 2011 from 39.6% under current law to 45%—a new effective top rate.
• Denial of Tax Deduction for Employer Health Plans Coordinating with Medicare Part D (Page 327):
This would further erode private sector participation in delivery of Medicare services.
• 1099-MISC forms to be issued to corporations as well as persons for trade, exchange of property or business payments (Page 344)
• Up to 8% Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275)
• Delays for 9 years the Worldwide Allocation of Interest (a corporate tax relief) (Page 345)
• Increases taxes on U.S. employers with overseas operations looking to avoid double taxation of earnings (Page 346)
• Empowers the IRS to disallow a perfectly legal tax deduction (Page 349)
• Raises standards on penalties on Publicly-traded partnerships and corporations with annual gross receipts in excess of $100 million (Page 357)

More negative items (GOP, Mike Pence)
• RAISES TAXES ON MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES
• MASSIVE CUTS TO MEDICARE BENEFITS FOR SENIORS
• NO PROTECTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES ON 8% PENALTY
• INCREASES THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE:
New $2 billion tax on insurance policies will be passed on to patients, changes to the Medicare.
• USES GIMMICKS TO HIDE BUDGET-BUSTING COST, PILES UP DEBT ON FUTURE GENERATIONS. Democrats have simply swept costly provisions under the rug, including the $245 billion ‘doc fix.’
• IMPOSES JOB-KILLING EMPLOYER MANDATES
According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s largest small business association, an employer mandate of this magnitude will disproportionately impact small businesses, triggering up to 1.6 million lost jobs. Two-thirds of those jobs would be shed by small businesses.
• FAVORS GOVERNMENT-RUN INSURANCE COMPANY
The bill provides billions in start-up funding for the government-run plan, and while it requires the plan to repay the money over time it does not require the plan to pay interest on this “loan.” This interest-free, taxpayer-subsidized loan is potentially worth millions of dollars and tilts the playing field in favor of the government-run plan.
• THREATENS CASH-STRAPPED STATES WITH UNFUNDED MANDATES by expanding Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is financed through a federal-state partnership, but the bill dumps nearly 10% of the mandated expansion included in the bill onto the states.
• CREATES A NEW MONSTROSITY IN THE TAX CODE
Starting in 2011, Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill imposes a 5.4% tax on adjusted gross income above $500,000 for individuals ($1 million for married couples). Yet, the dollar amounts for which the tax kicks in are not indexed for inflation.
• WILL NOT REDUCE FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS

HOUSE HEALTH CARE BILL (HR3200)
● EUTHANASIA:
-Government to mandate End of Life counseling & treatment (aka “Advance Care Planning Consultation”) on “the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration” (H.R.3200, Section 1233, page 424)
-Government order for end of life plans (p. 429)
● GOVERNMENT INTRUSION:
-Government will have real-time access to individual’s finances, if elegible for specific medical service. National health care ID card (p.58)
-Government-established National Medical Device Registry (p. 1001)
-Government Marriage & Family therapy sessions (p. 489)
-Government will design and implement the Home Visitation Program for families with young children and families expecting children, parenting counseling is included (p. 838-p. 845)
● LEFTISTS TO REGISTER INDIVIDUALS:
Government use of left-wing community groups, such as ACORN and AmeriCorps, to register individuals for the government health care plan (p. 95)
● CAN’T SUE THE GOVERNMENT:
No company or business can sue the federal government for price fixing, which means that there will be no judicial review against a government monopoly of the health care industry (p. 124)
● ILEGALS EXEMPT FROM TAXES & FINES:
Any nonresident alien is exempt from the individual taxes, insurance purchasing mandates, and fines which are required of every legal, U.S. citizens (p. 170).
● RESTRICT ENROLLMENT:
Government will restrict the enrollment of special needs people (p. 354)

Why didn’t he go to Canada or Cuba for his treatment?
Trojan horse: “There are 47 million uninsured” FACT: 8.2 MILLION ARE UNINSURED
● 8.2 million Americans are uninsured NOT 46 million as repeated by Obamistas: ○ They fail to mention the 46 million includes illegal immigrants, people who temporarily do not have insurance (they might be between jobs), or do not want coverage. ○ The real number of uninsured is 8.2 million Americans who are without coverage for the long haul, because they are too poor to purchase health care but earn too much to qualify for government assistance., BlueCross Assoc.) ○ But these 8.2 million of Americans have access to care, because federal law forbids hospitals from denying treatment to patients who show up at the emergency rooms. ● 9.7 million of the uninsured are not U.S. citizens (Census 2007) click image to see 2007 Census report
● Some people say they were without insurance even if they only spent a portion of the year without coverage. (Census report, page 19) Leftists like to cite 46 million uninsured to make it sound that 25% of U.S. citizens never, ever, have insurance coverage. ● The Census report list the number of people who are uninsured at a SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME during the year than for the entire year. (Census report, page 19) The 47 Million Lie (cartoon by MichaelRamirez/IBD) ● Approx. 5.7 million uninsured adults are “short-term uninsured,” (because they’re between jobs or recent college graduates. (BlueCross Assoc.) ● 21 million to 31 million people were uninsured for the ENTIRE YEAR (CBO) ● 14 million of the uninsured were eligible (but chose not) to enroll in government-sponsored health programs like Medicaid and SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) (BlueCross Assoc.) These people would be signed up for government insurance if they ever made it to the emergency room. ● More than 13 million uninsured adults and families have incomes of more than $50,000, and many have access to affordable healthcare coverage (BlueCross Assoc.) ● In 2006, almost 18 million of the uninsured earned more than $50,000 a year. (Census, p.21) ● In 2006, almost 10 million of them have an income of more than $75,000 a year (Census, p.21) In other words, 38 percent of the U.S. uninsured population earn more than $50,000 per year. ● Those making more than $75,000 per year are part of the fastest growing segment of the uninsured population. (Top 10 Myths of the U.S. Health Care) ● 18.3 million of the uninsured were adults under 34 who think they are young and healthy and choose not to have coverage (Census 2007)

High costs, poor quality: ○ Costs have escalated with little or no improvement since the Canada Health Act was first passed back in 1984. ○ 25% of Canadians (over 7 million) do not have access to a primary care physician. ○ More than 2 years wait times for routine life-saving procedures. ○ 3rd highest in costs out of 30 countries, while healthcare outcomes are a dismal 28th. ○ Half of Canada’s government budget is spent on healthcare with little improvement but unions want more spending. ○ The problem isn’t lack of money but lack of physicians. ○ Most individuals working within the Canadian healthcare system are demoralized to near catatonia. ○ Waste and bureaucratic gridlock currently plague the Canadian system. ● ObamaCare will hurt your family: ○ Undermines Parental Authority ○ Puts Federal Bureaucrats in Control of Health Care Decisions ○ Shackles Families with Unknown Costs ○ Dumps Families into a Government-Run Health Plan (Employers would be incentivized to drop private coverage) ○ Disregards Convictions of Patients and Providers ○ Makes Bureaucrats Moral Decision-makers (end-of-life decisions, prenatal care, abortions) ● Government-Run Health Care Will Harm Both Patients and Doctors ● Government will be in charge of your health data… goodbye privacy			● CUBA’s Healthcare, more …Is this what Democrat Rep.

Trojan horse: “ObamaCare will allow choice” FACT: OBAMACARE WILL DESTROY COMPETITION
● ObamaCare masterminds said how they wanted to destroy private insurance Their goal: Private insurance will not be able to compete against government: Their tactic: “to crowd out the private insurers by undercutting them on price. After all, the government can take losses on the plan for as long as they need to drive everyone else out of the market. Once that process completes, voila! Single-payer remains as the only option.” (Hat tip: Mark Levin)
● Democrat Admits Obama Healthcare Plan Will Destroy Insurance Industry Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) Admits Obama Healthcare Plan Will Destroy Insurance Industry: “I know many of you here today are single payer advocates and so am I … and those of us who are pushing for a public health insurance don’t disagree with this goal. This is not a principled fight. This is a fight about strategy for getting there and I believe we will.” Liberals don’t want you to see this video She said the public option is not a compromise, but a strategic step toward the single-payer system and the elimination of the private insurance industry…more
● ObamaCare will force every American to buy health insurance OR face fines/punishment ● A public plan will leave workers with no private insurance & less freedom: ○ Many employers will have to drop private health coverage for their workers and dump them into the public plan. ○ Congress will be both the “umpire” who sets the rules and the “team owner” of the public plan. ○ Government will control what your doctor can do and how much he will be paid.

Trojan horse: “ObamaCare will reduce health care costs” FACT: OBAMACARE WILL SPEND TRILLION DOLLARS TO “CONTROL COSTS” (oxymoron) ● Estimated $245 Billion a year will cost the House health plan by 2019: At $1.3 trillion dollars over ten years, most Americans will think the House plan will cost about $130 billion a year. They have been mislead. In reality, by 2019 the House health plan will cost $245 billion a year. ● How the CBO’s 10-Year time frame obscures the full cost of Obamacare (Hat tip: MichelleMalkin) ● Obama to spend a trillion dollars to “control costs” (bet you it will be more) ● CBO: ObamaCare cost in the trillion dollars & leave millions uninsured: ○ Deficits would increase by at least $1 trillion over the 2010-2019 period (doesn’t include major provisions of the bill) ○ Number of people who had coverage through an employer would decline by about 15 million (or roughly 10 percent), and coverage from other sources would fall by about 8 million, so the net decrease in the number of people uninsured would be about 16 million or 17 million.

Trojan horse: “Obama says 100,000 deaths a year in U.S. hospitals” FACT: NOT TRUE 100,000 DEATHS PER YEAR IN U.S. HOSPITALS About 9,800 preventable deaths occur each year in U.S. hospitals – according to the re-evaluation done by some researchers of the original study which used fuzzy math. Obama cited the figures of the erroneous original study. (Hat tip: PointOfLaw, Michelle Malkin)

Trojan horse: “Government knows best” FACT: GOVERNMENT FAILURES ● Medicare is Broken ● Katrina ● War on poverty ● Public education ● Bailouts, “stimulus” Trojan horse: “Government is here to help” FACT: KNOW THY OBAMISTA ● OBAMACARE OBJECTIVE: To control Americans ● REALITY OF GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE: Control, rationing, long waits, poor service… ● TACTICS: Trojan horses, demagoguery, bullying, demonizing the opposition ○ Obamistas using same tactics that advocates of universal healthcare used in Canada to push their agenda: – Vilifying doctors: to the point that many skilled physicians said “no thanks” and left for greener pastures (i.e., to the US) – False promises: of containment of costs and improvement of quality, none of which anyone would argue against. Canadians warn us: Government healthcare too good to be true “Obamacare may sound like a good deal to someone who currently isn’t covered under any health insurance in the US. But in terms of an overall improvement in outcome vs. expenditure, it could prove to be one of the single most disastrous decisions ever made on behalf of Americans. In this case, the admonition that you should be careful what you wish for because you just might get it, is a warning that can’t be made strongly enough.” ○ Demagoguery via the airwaves: Obama’s Infomercial: Low ratings for Obama Infomercial Mainstream Media (MSM): All Three Nets To Interview Obama About Healthcare Wednesday 7/15/2009 Lowest rated press conference yet 7/22/2009 SOLUTIONS Stop frivolous lawsuits (tort reform), Markets, Consumer Choice, and Innovation, Consumer-Driven healthcare, portability… RELATED ● Glossary 2009: Devil’s Dictionary of Healthcare Reform ● HILLARYCARE V.
