Die hard global warming proponents may need to find a new way to tax and control the masses.  Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

This is proof positive that even a little bit of transparency can have a significant effect on global affairs. If you think those hacked climate change emails made a real difference in helping to curb the cap and trade bill, imagine what a little transparency at The Federal Reserve might do.

Of course, we must inquire into whether the truth and the people still have a voice. According to a New York Times story published this weekend, the President is now seeking alternative possibilities for pushing forward an environmental agenda via executive orders, regardless of whether the science behind global warming is legitimate or not.

…the White House is getting ready to act on its own in the face of partisan gridlock heading into the midterm campaign.

“We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff.

The fact that the President is having to resort to executive orders in an attempt to forward an environmental agenda puts into question not only the science behind the movement, but the underlying motivation for mandating the new regulations. Is this really about global warming? If it were, wouldn’t Al Gore have already invested some of his $100 million fortune on outfitting his home with total off-the-grid alternative energy production instead of spending 10 times the average American on his fossil-fuel sourced monthly electric bill?

If everything was on the up and up, Congress would be able to review the real data – if it even exists, share it with constituents, decide what’s best for America based on this information, and vote accordingly.

But hey, who needs a system of checks and balances anyway?
