Climategate

Author: Maureen Bader 2009/11/23

On Friday November 20 2009, a hacker reportedly broke into email files at the Climate Research Unit at Britain's Hadley Centre which, along with NASA, is the source of temperature data used to support the theory that man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the globe to catastrophic levels. Phil Jones, the director of the Climate Research Unit, said the files are authentic. You can download them here.

Those emails revealed that scientists colluded to manipulate the evidence to show human activity was dangerously raising global temperatures.

This evidence is used as the basis for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that form the basis for the Kyoto and Copenhagen Accords.

We cannot allow a fraud to drain more jobs and hard-earned tax dollars from Canada. Any extension of the Kyoto Accord at Copenhagen would redistribute scarce resources from productive to unproductive activities, reduce wages, kill jobs and leave families shivering in the dark with their budgets running on empty.
