With the most sensational scandal in the history of science threatening to disrupt her pet project and investment portfolio, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has decided that the whistle blower, rather than the offender, should be punished in the ClimateGate affair.
As reported, in part, at thehill.com:
“Leaked e-mails allegedly undermining climate change science should be treated as a criminal matter, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Wednesday afternoon.
”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."
“The e-mails, from scientists at the University of East Anglia, were obtained through hacking. The messages showed the director of the university's Climate Research Unit discussing ways to strengthen the unit's case for global warming. Climate change skeptics have seized on the e-mails, arguing that they demonstrate manipulation in environmental science.
”Boxer said her committee may hold hearings into the matter as its top Republican, Sen. James Inhofe (Okla.), has asked for, but that a criminal probe would be part of any such hearings.”
A criminal probe, eh? You know that might be just what America needs, Senator.
Why not a Blue Ribbon Congressional Panel to investigate the fraud and deceit visited upon the American people by left-wing moon bats like Al Gore and Barbara Boxer in their attempt to extort trillions of dollars from the U.S. Treasury based on junk science and fear mongering?
Why not a criminal probe, indeed, with handcuffs at the ready, in your size, Madam, should the evidence point to criminal conduct on your part?
Include an orange prison suit in size XXXX for the bloated personage of Al Gore—just in case, you know.
What a globally heart-warming scene that would be: Al Gore and Barbara Boxer perk-walked out of the Senate Chambers in handcuffs as the hot air from those responsible for the climate change hoax is exposed and expunged!
