Winter Wonderland

The Honorable James Webb and Mark Warner,

As I was digging out my cars and driveway for the third time this season I couldn’t help but wonder what my government is thinking in pushing forward all manner of things having to do with Global Warming. Don’t play the “climate change” game on me, I’m not that stupid. Last year was the year that the wheels came off the juggernaut that was the Global Warming hoax and your actions and the actions of my government should mirror that new reality. Global Warming has been thoroughly discredited over the past few months:

- The leak of the University of East Anglia e-mails indicated that not only were statistics manipulated and models rigged, but that the increasing chorus of dissenting opinion on the Global Warming hoax is being suppressed.

- The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has not only mishandled data, but has used dubious observations from nonscientific sources to make utterly preposterous and apocalyptical predictions.

- Further, you only need look out your window to confirm what responsible climate scientists have been saying for some time - we have been in a global cooling trend for 6-8 years.

Now we see splashed on the National news that the United States Department of Commerce in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is christening a Climate Service?!? The only bright spot in the announcement was the “Gore Effect” where people had to wade through historic levels of snow in order to attend the roll-out. No doubt continued fodder about our entirely incompetent federal government for the late night comics.

Gripped as we are in the worst fiscal crisis that our government has ever created, it is ludicrous to be spending money to continue this hoax on the American people. The Climate Service is tantamount to standing up a Bogey Man Search Team. Rather we should turn the issue over to the Justice Department to prosecute the hucksters and snake oil salesmen who pushed Global Warming this far in the first place. Eliminate all spending on any agency, desk, study, or grant having to do with anything even remotely related to “Global Warming” or “Climate Change.” We should claw back any money that was so foolishly wasted. You might instead study why several hundred “scientists” ran screaming like a bunch of ignorant lemmings for the cliff labeled “Global Warming.” Meanwhile, I’ll get back to shoveling snow and cursing Al Gore.

Sincerely Yours,
