Bump....

Pennsylvania State University announced it was launching an investigation into the academic conduct of Michael Mann, director of the school's Earth System Science Center.

Also, it was announced that Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, would step aside while his university conducts an investigation.

There should be a call for an immediate Senate investigation and Mr. Mann, Jones and others should be called to testify before a committee under oath. Universities and organizations involved (this is dozens of groups) should be immediately instructed NOT to destroy any information/data.

Millions in taxpayers $$ have been granted to institutions tangled up in Climategate. Oh, and the expensive (read much higher taxes) Cap and Trade legislation being proposed is just ahead.

Mr. Mann and Jones....

Were you involved in hiding the data about the decline in temperatures?

What did you know and when did you know this?

Why was there a plan to hide data about the decline of temperatures?

It's going to be an interesting lead up to Copenhagen.

The Chair of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri (shares Nobel Peace Prize with Al professor and internet inventor Gore) has gone on record saying.

"In the near future, car use will have to be 'curbed', hotels and restaurants will stop serving ice water, and guests will have their energy use monitored. Heavy taxes will also have to discourage people from flying and force them to take the train."
