This isn’t a post about Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and her misuse of taxpayer funds for a vacation in east Africa (never happened).
It’s about her idiotic remarks about Climategate:
Boxer, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said that the recently released e-mails, showing scientists allegedly overstating the case for climate change, should be treated as a crime.
“You call it ‘Climategate’; I call it ‘E-mail-theft-gate,’” she said during a committee meeting. “Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I’m looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public.”
Being one of the high profile proponents of man-made global warming, Sen. Boxer is obviously looking for a way to spin this alleged conspiracy between climate researchers. What better way than to divert attention?
It’s not about the scientific validity of global warming; it’s about the criminal act of exposing these emails.
True, these emails were private correspondence between scientists and researchers. However, as many of them already publish many papers of their work on climate change, the majority of these emails ought to be considered part of their public research. The hackers merely brought to light the conspiracy that’d been brewing for years among this cabal.
Sen. Boxer would be better off taking a step back to reconsider her belief in man made global warming.
