Climate-change researcher resigns after disclosure of e-mail messages | Louisiana Politics & Government

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, who gained notoriety among global warming critics when he asked a series of skeptical questions of former Vice President Al Gore during a hearing in April, said the e-mail messages raise serious new questions about the cap-and-trade legislation passed by the House and now pending in the Senate. He said the revelations about research manipulation may be criminal if federal financing was used.

"I think this shows a lot of the data that was used to sell cap-and-trade was falsified," Scalise said of the legislation that would require businesses that generate carbon emissions to purchase permits.

But Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who has been a leading voice against "cap and trade" legislation on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the revelations about the United Kingdom research center raises serious questions.

"We have already seen instances of potential data corruption come forth, and further investigations may shed more light that significant biases in the peer review process were present," Vitter said. "If so, that is antithetical to the scientific method -- good science must present all data, regardless of what you want the conclusion to be."

EDITORIAL: Universities take action on Climategate - Washington Times

Investigating academic fraud by global-warming theocracy
...
Untold millions in federal funds have been granted to American academics and institutions ensnared in Climategate. Congress and the administration should be investigating the charges of destroyed documents and data as well as the general unwillingness to share data funded by taxpayers. An academic investigation is a start, but it's not enough, considering the role of many institutions in this cover-up. With so much federal money for academic research involved, trusting universities to get to the bottom of this scandal is akin to leaving a fox in charge of the henhouse.

Patrick Michaels: Climate scientists subverted peer review | Washington Examiner

The more we learn about the purloined e-mails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit the more it resembles Watergate. As was the case in 1974, there will be no one particular spectacular revelation, but rather an unremitting and unrelenting daily drip-drip that ultimately brings down the house.
