The scandal of fiddled global warming data

It's a short article, but this is the best part of it:

When I first began examining the global-warming scare, I found nothing more puzzling than the way officially approved scientists kept on being shown to have finagled their data, as in that ludicrous “hockey stick” graph, pretending to prove that the world had suddenly become much hotter than at any time in 1,000 years. Any theory needing to rely so consistently on fudging the evidence, I concluded, must be looked on not as science at all, but as simply a rather alarming case study in the aberrations of group psychology.

Global climate change, as it is now being called, has always been about one thing, and it sure as hell hasn't been about saving the planet.It's about power. If you can scare enough people, or convince enough people that something needs to be done NOW! OR WE WILL ALL DROWN IN THE WATERY APOCALYPSE! then you can get what you really want, willing sheep to keep you in power until you don't need their permission anymore. Just ask every dictator and tyrant through out history.
