Global-warming data sets 'simply made up' (OneNewsNow.com)

Criminal charges are being pursued in what is being dubbed as "ClimateGate."

It all started when an alleged whistleblower from the UK's Hadley Centre leaked e-mails detailing how temperature data was being forged to prove alleged "manmade global warming." Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted "climate skeptic," says the actions were criminal and should be prosecuted.

"The Hadley-CRU temperature data set is simply a joke. It has no scientific data whatsoever," he asserts. "It's simply made up; it's just nonsense.

Monckton notes that the information was available under the UK's Freedom of Information Act, and accuses the Hadley Centre of conspiring with the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) to destroy the data and e-mails before the public got a hold of it.

"They conspired together and with other people to destroy Freedom of Information Act data which they knew had been requested and they knew had been validly requested," states Monckton.
