Himalayan Glacier Traverse

Glaciergate, that’s what it’s being called now.  Glaciergate is the continuing  story about how members of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lied when they published their 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winning report.  A report which claimed, among other things, that the Himalayan Glaciers would disappear by 2035 due to global warming.  Why would they lie?  What could they gain?  Well, as I said in my first Himalayan Glaciers entry it’s about money.

Glaciergate, and Global Warming in general, is really about money and power.  For politicians seeking power Global Warming is a convenient fraud on which to base restrictions upon individual behavior and taxes on every facet of life.  They’re already doing it in Europe and trying to do it in the United States.  For “scientists” Global Warming is still about money.  And how do scientists who don’t make a product get money?  They get it from grants.  Grants come from private individuals and foundations, charitable groups, and governments who have taxed their citizens.  Most of the time that means it’s your money being used.  In glaciergate a money trail is forming that appears to lead to the Chairman of the IPCC, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri.  As Christopher Booker of the UK Telegraph reports in Pachauri: the real story behind the Glaciergate scandal:

the scientist from whom this claim originated, Dr Syed Hasnain, has for the past two years been working as a senior employee of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Delhi-based company of which Dr Pachauri is director-general. Furthermore, the claim – now disowned by Dr Pachauri as chairman of the IPCC – has helped TERI to win a substantial share of a $500,000 grant from one of America’s leading charities, along with a share in a three million euro research study funded by the EU

Let’s recap…scientists employed by the United Nations, lauded by the Nobel Peace Prize committee, and funded by your hard-earned money have repeatedly lied about climate changes purported to be so serious that we all have to give up every modern convenience to prevent extinction of our species…did I miss anything there?  Oh, and where is Al Gore?  Why isn’t Al Gore talking about all of this?  I’ll tell you why.  He’s afraid of losing millions of dollars in the carbon credit market that his company is involved in.

Despite the mounting evidence that Global Warming is a hoax politicians are continuing their efforts to combat it.  Here in the United States the Congress is still trying to pass the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade bill.  Do us all a favor and let your Congressmen and Senators know you are against Cap and Trade.
