                       GLOBAL WARMING IS A THEORY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. POE) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, at first, Al Gore claimed to invent 
the Internet. Now it looks like he really did invent something--global 
warming.
  The Nation had one of the coldest winters in years, including record 
snowfalls in the South; but the Warmers like Al Gore ignore the 
obvious, and still claim we are all going to perish, saying that Man is 
the threat to the planet. The groundhog is a better predictor of the 
weather than Al Gore.
  Al Gore's long-winded article in The New York Times over the weekend 
was long on claims and short on facts. He didn't cite hard sources for 
his information. Like the rest of the global warming scientists, they 
are using fraudulent information. We are supposed to take their word 
for it now that basic data supporting their claims has, all of a 
sudden, disappeared.

                              {time}  1615

  That data has been found to be fraudulent. It is no wonder that data 
is disappearing.
  There seems to be no conclusive scientific data that proves the 
global warming theory. It is a theory. That is what a theory is, 
something that isn't proven. The Federal Government is trying to force 
Americans to pay a cap-and-trade national energy tax, and it is all 
based on this highly disputed theory of global warming.
  The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change issued a 
report in 2007 that made all kinds of claims about global warming. The 
report is based on some faulty science.
  Climategate started last year when a whistleblower released emails 
between all these global warming scientists. The emails and other 
information released showed these guys had been cooking the books. It 
is still a huge scandal unfolding on the front pages of newspapers all 
over the world, especially in England.
  The Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University in England is 
the center of the Climategate scandal. That is where the emails were 
released by an anonymous whistleblower. Some emails reveal global 
warming scientists plotting to avoid disclosing information under the 
Freedom of Information Act in England, and, of course, that is against 
the law in England. Other email even showed this so-called scientist 
talking about how to manipulate the data, how to fix the outcome of 
their scientific experiments.
  It sounds like fraud to me. Then they spread this false information 
around to their buddies without a proper peer review. That is how you 
perpetrate a hoax.
  The data at the basis of all of these findings are based on the same 
fraudulent data from one of these small groups of scientists. If global 
warming is the truth, why are these scientists caught in lie after lie? 
If it is the truth, why would they be lying to the American people in 
the first place?
  The British scientific community spoke out this week about and 
against their climate science peers. The British Institute of Physics 
this week said, ``Unless the disclosed emails are proven to be 
forgeries, worrying implications arise for the integrity of the 
scientific research and for the credibility of the scientific method.''
  There is no credible proof man causes weather changes. It is a way to 
bilk millions of dollars out of taxpayers with a so-called carbon tax. 
It seems to be all about money.
  Of course, Mr. Gore is heavily invested in green technology. Last 
year, he was proclaimed by the media to be the first green technology 
billionaire. That is a billionaire with a B. Al Gore has made a fortune 
off of global warming, and so have a lot of other people. He should 
have to back up his claims with hard data, not the data that has been 
proved to be false. He would have to prove all of the wild claims, and 
other scientists should have to prove these claims as well, about man 
being the culprit of global warming.
  The fact is that global warming is not a fact. The jury is still out.
  And that's just the way it is.
