So That’s Why They Call It Climate Change

Unfortunately for Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and the Copenhagen crew, it looks like the people in charge of documenting the science that keeps the Left’s green ambitions in bloom have been cooking the books.  In emails and other documents hacked, stolen, and posted from Britain’s Hadley Climatic Research Centre several high profile climatologists discuss ways to “hide the decline” of global temperatures.

One of the first reports on the now publicized documents can be found here.

Update: Here's a helpful paper (PDF) from the Heartland Institute discussing the use of misleading charts and graphs in the global warming debate.  The reference to "Mike's Nature trick" in the smoking gun email from Phil Jones is to the famous "hockey stick graph" showing a dramatic uptick in global…[more]

Thursday, July 23 2009

In a letter sent this week to every Member of Congress, the Center for Individual Freedom joined with nearly 50 state and national organizations encouraging support for meaningful “health care legislation that expands health care choices and reduces health care costs through an open health care system.”

The letter notes that “many of the reforms Congress is currently considering will increase costs, reduce choices, raise taxes, and control our families' health care.”The organizations signing the letter expressed that we stand united against:

  • Giving bureaucrats any decision-making authority over American families’ health care.
  • Increasing the deficit.
  • A government health insurance plan.
  • A government health insurance exchange.
  • A government-designed co-op.
  • An individual mandate and an employer mandate.
  • Rationing health care.

The coalition letter was organized by Patients First, a project of Americans for Prosperity.
