"Scientists manipulated climate data, suppressed legitimate
arguments in peer-reviewed journals, and researchers were asked to destroy
emails, so that a small number of climate alarmists could continue to advance
their environmental agenda.
Since then, more than 700 acclaimed international scientists have challenged
the claims made by the IPCC, in this comprehensive 740-page report. These 700
scientists represent some of the most respected institutions at home and around
the world, including the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense, U.S. Air Force
and Navy, and even the Environmental Protection Agency.
For example, famed Princeton University physicist Dr. Robert Austin, who has
published 170 scientific papers and was elected a member of the U.S. National
Academy of Sciences. Dr. Austin told a congressional committee that,
unfortunately, climate has become a political science. It is tragic the some
perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know
better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomenon which is
statistically questionable at best.
Mr. Chairman, if the families in my district have been able to tighten their
belts, surely the federal government can do the same and stop funding an
organization that is fraught with waste and abuse. My amendment simply says
that no funds in this bill can go to the IPCC. This would save taxpayers
millions of dollars this year and millions of dollars in years to come. In
fact, the President has requested an additional $13 million in his fiscal 2012
budget request.
My constituents should not have to continue to foot the bill for an
organization to keep producing corrupt findings that can be used as
justification to impose a massive new energy tax on every American."
