Watch Now: Climate Depot’s Morano on Fox News talking Climategate, UN and latest science
[Note: Morano appeared on Fox News on December 10, 2009. NASA scientist James Hansen was originally scheduled to debate Morano. To watch full video of Morano’s Fox News Segment go here.]
Excerpts: Morano warns of “a new form of colonialism…The white wealthy western world telling 1.6 billion people in developing world — predominantly of color — that they have to have their economies managed, their energy managed all because of climate fears.” […]
“Al Gore is right, it is a moral issue. The morality of this is we need to get energy cheap and affordable to people across the world so they can leave the nasty brutish and short life’ of poverty […] Carbon based energy has been of the greatest liberators of mankind in the history of our planet.”

Prominent Atmospheric Physicist suggests ‘discontinuing UN IPCC’ — Declares Climategate scientists ‘substituted search for truth with an attempt at proving one point of view’
Selected exerpts of an Open Letter by Atmospheric Physicist Dr. Petr Chylek are published below.
[Bio: Chylek is currently a Remote Sensing Team Leader in the Space and Remote Sensing Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory and an Adjunct Professor at the NMSU Physics Department. Chylek published his first climate-related paper in 1974 (Chylek and Coakley, Aerosol and Climate, Science 183, 75-77). “I have published well over 100 peer-reviewed papers, and I am a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the Optical Society of America, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.”]

Key Excerpts of Dr. Petr Chylek’s “Open Letter to the Climate Research Community”: […]
It seems that the climate research community has betrayed that mighty goal in science. They have substituted the search for truth with an attempt at proving one point of view. […] Yes, there have been cases of misbehaviour and direct fraud committed by scientists in other fields: physics, medicine, and biology to name a few. However, it was misbehaviour of individuals, not of a considerable part of the scientific community. […] The damage has been done. The public trust in climate science has been eroded. At least a part of the IPCC 2007 report has been put in question. We cannot blame it on a few irresponsible individuals. The entire esteemed climate research community has to take responsibility. So what comes next? Let us stop making unjustified claims and exaggerated projections about the future even if the editors of some eminent journals are just waiting to publish them. Let us admit that our understanding of the climate is less perfect than we have tried to make the public believe. Let us drastically modify or temporarily discontinue the IPCC. […]
To blame the current warming on humans, there was a perceived need to “prove” that the current global average temperature is higher than it was at any other time in recent history (the last few thousand years). This task is one of the main topics of the released CRU emails.
Some people were so eager to prove this point that it became more important than scientific integrity. The next step was to show that this “unprecedented high current temperature” has to be a result of the increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.
