The American Spectator Thanks to Climategate, things aren't looking up for Ms. Henny-Penny, who will not be flying to Copenhagen. I knew Henny-Penny , founder and Recording Secretary of The Holy Order of The Sky Is Falling , had been having a couple of bad weeks, what with the announcement that the big UN global warming conference in Copenhagen was not expected to produce a treaty. Little did she or I know, however, that recent days would bring catastrophe to the entire movement that believes in manmade global warming. She called in great distress when she learned that Phil Jones, who heads the Climate Research United at East Anglia University in England, had stepped down while his role in Climategate was being investigated. Our conversation went this way: Ms. H-P: To make matters worse, Michael Mann, who was involved in a lot of those e-mails planning to manipulate data, is under investigation by Penn State University where he works. This is awful. Ms. H-P: I believed them when they said man-made global warming was a matter of settled science. Us: It never was. The "proof" is in the form of computer projections based on data considered to be insufficiently comprehensive by many scientists. Furthermore, Jones and his CRU colleagues claim the base data that started this process was lost or disposed of several years ago. Very convenient. Ms. H-P: But why would they falsify data? Us: No one knows for sure. The lure of big money might be one reason.
