UN IPCC Panel Lied To Us -Part 2-

So know we have seen that we were not told the truth by those we expect to be honest. We have been led to believe a series of facts that were never facts to begin with. What does this do to the debate over global warming/climate change? Here are my thoughts on the repercussions and the losers:
UN- They have spent millions upon millions of dollars promoting baseless facts. They pushed their climate agenda without verifying that the information was correct. When you claim to speak for the world and your information is pushed through dozens of countries, you end up losing credibility. Unfortunately this is not the first time the UN has had to backtrack and admit mistakes and/or cover ups.
Climate Scientist- There was a cadre of scientist and other politicians such as Al Gore who were threatening us with doom and gloom if we did not follow their advice. In a sense they used the bully pulpit and the cover of the UN to give legitimacy to their claims. However, now we find out that they were doing this for reasons not relating to saving the earth. "Follow the money" would be a good thing to keep in mind in asking why. Those taking the lead were profiting with not only research dollars but also private funding for their schemes. We are talking hundreds of millions for the head of the IPCC and others such as Gore. Saving the planet never paid so well.
Compliant Media- Just like the UN, the general media bought the global warming theory hook line and sinker. Where was the checking of facts? Where was the skeptical eye of journalism when these claims that could cost the advanced countries hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars? Why are they still not giving the controversy inches on their front pages. Instead of covering up because they were duped, they should admit they were duped and dig in and find out what happened and who was behind it. Trust me, I'm not holding my breath. There is a reason viewership and readership is down, they new longer report facts.
Climate Bill/Carbon Trading- This bill should be dead in the water. We cannot pass with a straight face a bill that was built on a false premise using manipulated scientific information. Carbon trading and all the other money making and taxing schemes should be crushed. As well, I'm not sure the American people and other people around the world want their taxes raised directly or indirectly based on a lie.
Environmental Movement- Being a responsible steward of the environment is a good thing. I believe that people care about clean air and clean water. However, environmentalism at the end of a gun is good for no one. The image will be one of liars and con men who will say and do anything to get their way. When a movement is trying to win the hearts and mind of the general population, you need to be clear and you need to be honest. If you are anything but, your message no matter how noble will be lost.
In the end, I am glad this information is leaking out even though it is not receiving the coverage it should. I'm not sure the country is ready or willing to go through another political battle over legislation that not only people don't want, but is based on lies. At a time when the unemployment/underemployment rate across the board is nearing 18%, the last thing families need is another tax and another set of rules limiting their opportunities. I hope that level heads will prevail so that we can continue to reduce pollution and work on green technologies. Not only because it is a good thing to do, but because it will also help employ families. That would be a win win not only for the planet but for those living on it.
