Stolen e-mails embolden warming skeptics - Climate Change- msnbc.com
Description
Former Vice President Al Gore, the most recognized U.S. voice on climate change, quickly rebutted Palin and accused the climate deniers in an interview with CNN of "taking things out of context and misrepresenting" what the e-mails actually said. On Thursday, more than 1,700 British scientists released a statement saying they continue to have "the utmost confidence in the observational evidence for global warming and the scientific basis for concluding that it is due primarily to human activities."

That hasn't stopped Senate Republicans. More than two dozen sent a letter to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon Thursday demanding that he launch an independent inquiry into the e-mails. GOP lawmakers say they will loudly and often raise questions about what they consider a corruption of climate science at the Denmark conference, where delegates from 192 nations are trying to forge a political agreement.

      Of course Republicans SAY NOTHING AND DEMAND NO INVESTIGATIONS for the astroturfing and lies by "doubters" funded by some of their major constituents (energy companies) and sometimes orchestrated and promulgated by some of their own current and former party "leaders". SURE, let's have some investigations and see where the real and most egregious fraud has been and is occurring. Let's get some real "slap down" on all of those who have committed and repeated such frauds - and then we'll see how many Republican's end up with ruby-red and even bloody faces verses a very few climate scientist with perhaps a modicum of pink (if any)! Think the Republican whiners and scaredy cats will agree to that?
