DeSmogBlog.com: Exposing the Last-Minute Campaign to Trash Copenhagen

In the final days before the global climate summit in Copenhagen, the industry-funded community of climate change deniers revealed that they had hacked into a UK university and stolen thousands of emails, some of which they said threw the science of climate change into question. "This is classic," says James Hoggan, author of Climate Cover-up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming. "It is the logical extension of the 20-year-old campaign to sow confusion and doubt - to do anything, no matter how objectionable, to block action on climate change."

Mr. Barroso, who made his announcements Friday, named Connie Hedegaard, a Dane, as the bloc’s first climate action commissioner.

Ms. Hedegaard, who has been serving as climate and energy minister for Denmark and has previously worked as a political journalist, will remain in the Danish government with a specially created title — Minister for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009 — until she takes up her responsibilities in Brussels.

A few general truths to keep in mind in the wake of Climategate.

And the science is heavily polluted by politics. The climate-change legions are recruited mainly from the Western Left-intelligentsia, their kitbags stuffed with all the sub-Marxist and ethno-masochist flapdoodle of the modern academy. They hate capitalism, they hate Western civilization, and they hate their own ancestors. The kind of dramatic social engineering implicit in the phrase “combating climate change” is emotionally appealing to them.

Downstream from these ideologues are opportunist politicians (if you’ll pardon a pleonasm), too dimwitted to understand the ideology — let alone the science! — but eager to ride the climate-change wave to power and wealth.
