 The British Met Office, a primary source of information to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has annouced it will re-examine 160 years of its temperature records following concern over leaked emails from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, a research unit that provides data to the Met Office.

The emails prove that scientists cynically colluded to cover up temperature declines, and have destroyed the prospects for a binding global treaty that would have cost Australian taxpayers 7 billion dollars per year and crippled our economy.

The credibility of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has also been shattered, as he has previously cited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports to justifyhis Labor government's attempt to pass an Emissions Taxing Scheme through parliament. A scheme that would cost $1100 per year.
