Over the last 10 – 15 years we’ve seen an exponential amount of claims how global warming was caused by humans and that there would be devastating effects if we didn’t change our habits.

Over the last week, all of those claims may be burning down in flames.

Phil Jones, the director of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, is stepping down from his position. In business, there are only two reasons you step down from your position, you’re either thin-skinned or you’ve done something wrong. Since I don’t know Phil Jones personally I’ll let you make that call.

Could this be the biggest cover-up since the tobacco industry’s cover-up of the link between cigarettes and cancer? Well, if these documents prove that scientists altered data to make their claims on global warming, yes.

There are billions of dollars in the global warming and that is one of the major reasons politicians, business executives, and other organizations want to be involved. Since climate change is a major political talking point, governments are making policy decisions based of this “research”. These policies that they propose and pass will cost taxpayers billions of dollars over 10, 25, 50 years.

So, if it is true that these scientists and researchers have altered data just to “prove” global warming, it will be the biggest cover-up in our lifetime.
