The Climategate Case

Recently, the public has gone through shock to find that information regarding Global Warming may be a scam. Revealing interviews have “An Inconvenient Truth’s” spokesman Al Gore and other scientists who collaborated on the search team white faced and flustered, as evidence over thousands of emails showing fraud keeps adding up. A few of the alleged scammers are actually pointing the finger at those who discovered and went to the press with the emails in the first place. According to the Washington Post in their article, “Stolen E-mails Embolden Climate Skeptics,” “We now have thousands of e-mails showing several of the U.N.’s top scientists apparently evading laws requiring transparency, defaming scientists with opposing viewpoints, and manipulating data to fit preconceived opinions,” declared Sen. James Inhofe.
But beyond the scope of scientists, and blame games, ordinary people, who donated money to support the “Global Warming Crisis,” thinking the money went to a good cause, have the public upset and questioning the research groups’ morality. Wide eyed and jaw opened, Senior Hannah Kelly is stunned to hear evidence of foul play, “It probably is a scam, it would be horrible and low to use a crisis to benefit one’s self.”
Yes, there are rumors also flying that donated money is not making its way to researching purposes but into researchers’ pockets. Respectively though, could some of the information be true that our planet’s O-Zone layer could be dissolving due to man? Brashier student Trey Sanders, with eyes closed and head shaking says, “There is no such thing as Global Warming,” quite frankly.
Would greed really turn brilliant scientists to producing false data and possibly shatter their reputations as honest researchers? Junior Connor Beverly, arms crossed and staring away into something in the distance, states, “It’s sad when you can’t trust a scientist.”
Many are in disbelief and shock, while others sigh like sophomore Landon Byrd who “saw it coming.”
Either way, if Global Warming is a scam or not, should we continue researching and analyzing climate changes? On a much larger scale, climate changes do not just affect America, but the whole world. Junior Brooke Ingram feels, “Global Warming is a scam…there are bigger issues than the environment.” With evidence panning out the way it is now, it appears there may just be.

Hey listen, this article was not in any way supposed to be bias, the fact is, people were trusted and it seems they may have been caught up in curruption. I presented the facts and wanted everyone to make their own assuptions and opinions on whats going on. I’m sorry if one of my interviews did not meet your personal satisfaction but at least they were willing to come forward, with their name, not anonymously, and say what they felt. I’m glad to see there is opposition in view points, but the main focus of the article was not strictly on climate changes themselfs, but the people who are perhaps caught up in a scandle. Get me? Thanks for your comment
