"The way the far left used to stop us is to file lawsuits and stall and stall. We'll do the same thing."

-Senator Jim Inhofe, (R) OK, speaking of the EPA's pending but now, thankfully, out on a limb "endangerment finding" that would allow it to regulate carbons (and our economy) on the grounds that carbons (and our American way of life) are an endangerment to public health (and to liberal-lefty guilt trips). This EPA finding would force great damage to our economy via Executive fiat;  these leftists want to have that tool in order to feel good by way of bashing America and our capitalism-driven economic engine. Nothing new there. Now, though, there's been a game changer: the smoking gun CRU e-mails have nailed these 'science'-wielding leftists with undeniable truth.

(Oh, that second quote: Sen Inhofe's back-in-your-face Alinsky-style methodology is soothing to me. How else can we fight these far leftists who've "V'd" this country unless we give 'em back as they've done to us?)

'Cap and Trade Is Dead'

The recently disclosed emails and documents from University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit compromise the integrity of the United Nations' global warming reports.

So declares Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, taking a few minutes away from a Thanksgiving retreat with his family. "Ninety-five percent of the nails were in the coffin prior to this week. Now they are all in."

If any politician might be qualified to offer last rites, it would be Mr. Inhofe. The top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee has spent the past decade in the thick of Washington's climate fight. He's seen the back of three cap-and-trade bills, rode herd on an overweening Environmental Protection Agency, and steadfastly insisted that global researchers were "cooking" the science behind man-made global warming.

This week he's looking prescient. The more than 3,000 emails and documents from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) that have found their way to the Internet have blown the lid off the "science" of manmade global warming. CRU is a nerve center for many of those researchers who have authored the United Nations' global warming reports and fueled the political movement to regulate carbon.

Their correspondence show a claque of scientists massaging data to make it fit their theories, squelching scientists who disagreed, punishing academic journals that didn't toe the apocalyptic line, and hiding their work from public view. "It's no use pretending that this isn't a major blow," glumly wrote George Monbiot, a U.K. writer who has been among the fiercest warming alarmists. The documents "could scarcely be more damaging." And that's from a believer. [emboldenings mine -.ed]

So, Mr. Obama, when you jet to Copenhagen next month to pick up your Nobel Peace Prize (bwahahahahaha~!, still), be sure to have collected Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize so's you can properly return it. Then, when you attend the International Copenhagen 'Climate' Summit, you can begin to realize that your party's pet economy-destroying project is falling to pieces. You certainly won't find India or China on board; New Zealand is also finding Climate Science Corruption, so don't expect much support from them. Oh, and Australia. You'll have to rely on your booming teleprompter-induced voice box to carry the day. (Have M'chelle pack plenty of those nice drapes-dresses. They do seem to thrill the arugula set.)

From now on, every bit of global warming data and science will be subjected to intense scrutiny. Scientists who've fudged data or manipulated test instruments to get skewed results (that temperature sensor in front of an air conditioner exhaust comes to mind) will now be challenged. Hopefully, any who knowingly hid, misled or otherwise skewed for political reasons will be forced out of Science. There's no room for politics in science. Leftists speak of "Separation of Church and State"; let's see them separate their 'religion' from State.

The Politics of Science is now in the harshlight. It's time to force that permanent separation.
