As reported on 11/25/2009 on carywatch.com, evidence that leading scientists involved in climate change research have perpetrated massive fraud has become even more evident in the past few days. In what some are calling the “greatest scientific fraud in the history of mankind”, the repercussions of this news should influence any current or proposed efforts in the Town of Cary related to so-called global warming, renewable energy, green jobs, carbon footprints, LEED construction guidelines, recycling and sustainability programs beyond those aimed at reducing taxes and fees that citizens pay. Furthermore, Cary’s water conservation efforts, based in part on the assumption of rising global temperatures, should be reconsidered in light of this news as well as clear evidence of a cooling trend the past decade and increased rainfall in recent years.
