Climate-change partisans find mere sins of omission<\/strong><\/p>\n

To allay public concern over Climategate \u2014 the unauthorized release of some 3000 documents from the computers of the Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University \u2014 the university established two independent inquiries to attend to the widespread view that science had been corrupted through the distortion and destruction of data, through cover-ups, and through the perversion of the peer review process.<\/p>\n

The first of these inquiries has neatly dismissed all concerns of impropriety through the oversight of its chair, Lord Oxburgh of Liverpool, a man of impeccable credentials in the climate change field. Lord Oxburgh is chair of the multinational Falck Renewables, a European leader with major windfarms in the U.K., France, Spain and Italy, and he\u2019s chair of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, a lobby group which argues that carbon capture could become a $-trillion industry by 2050.<\/p>\n

Lord Oxburgh\u2019s judicial temperament also served him well in his role as chair of the university inquiry. \u201cWe are sleepwalking\u201d into a global warming threat so dire, Lord Oxburgh explained in 2007, that the world may need to do more to discourage carbon dioxide emitters than to simply put a price on carbon. \u201cIt may be that we shall need, in parallel with that, regulations which impose very severe penalties on people who emit more than specified amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,\u201d he explained.
