Cuccinelli was essentially riding on the coattails of the now totally-discredited Climategate fiasco. You may remember how lots of people got very upset that scientists were sending emails to each other that, when taken grossly out of context and misinterpreted, made it look like those scientists were engaged in cooking the data. Once people looked a little more carefully, it became clear that no shenanigans were going on. Interestingly, although it was hugely covered in the media and by the usual antiscience mob in politics, you hardly hear about Climategate anymore.

How’s this for “the most transparent administration in history”?

Some weeks ago, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). I asked for 8,000 pages of “climate”-related documents (think Hockey Stick, Michael Mann, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). I still haven’t received a single page. I’m not sure what the holdup is — maybe it has something to do with some “climate” litigation, early November, or a lame-duck push on related issues.

At first, they first told me they were sorting through the documents to determine “which are agency records and which are IPCC records.” Yes, you read that correctly; and you are right as well that there are no such thing as “IPCC records” sitting on taxpayer-funded computers produced by taxpayer servants in their official time in officially assigned roles. It should come as no surprise that three days after I confirmed this statement in writing, they wrote back to say they never said that, presumably after speaking with their lawyers.

But the federal government has already decided for us that global warming is a pressing issue, and its solution, is once again, more taxes. If individuals decide for themselves that global warming is a serious threat, the solution would mean voluntary, private funding for the things that made America great in the first place: ingenuity, innovation and entrepreneurship.
