Inhofe Ready To Tear Into Global Warming Claims

By Chris Casteel In Washington For The Oklahoman ~ Sen. Jim Inhofe, considered the leading skeptic in Congress that human activity is causing global warming, wants an investigation into whether some of the leading scientists on the topic manipulated data to inflate the problem. The Oklahoma Republican sent letters to numerous scientists at U.S. universities and to government agencies asking that they retain documents related to files stolen last week from a computer server at the Climatic Research Unit in England.

[Editor's Note: Inhofe's new action likely will catapult him onto the world stage as never before. He's had considerable media exposure in the past on this subject; the media mavens who believe in global warming will seek to skewer him and those who support his view will rise to his defense.]

E-mails exchanged between scientists who worked on climate change reports were posted on the Web after the server was hacked. Documents also were taken from the server and posted. Inhofe and others who have challenged the scientific consensus on global warming say the e-mails show scheming to alter data on the climate or to present it in such a way as to support the theory of human activity raising the earth’s temperature.
