Climate Gate and the False Claims Act
Al Gore, Barack Obama, and the Climate Change Gang are attempting to defraud the United States government and the American people out of potentially trillions of dollars through the use of a now proven scam called "Climate Change".

This is a violation of US law.

Those found liable for attempting to defraud the United States government through the use of FALSE CLAIMS can be forced to pay TRIPLE DAMAGES in compensation for all monies lost through use of those FALSE CLAIMS.

Can you say "Class Action Lawsuit"?

US CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

TITLE 31 > SUBTITLE III > CHAPTER 37 > SUBCHAPTER III > § 3729

§ 3729. False claims

(3) conspires to defraud the Government by getting a false or fraudulent claim allowed or paid;
(4) has possession, custody, or control of property or money used, or to be used, by the Government and, intending to defraud the Government or willfully to conceal the property, delivers, or causes to be delivered, less property than the amount for which the person receives a certificate or receipt;
(5) authorized to make or deliver a document certifying receipt of property used, or to be used, by the Government and, intending to defraud the Government, makes or delivers the receipt without completely knowing that the information on the receipt is true;
(6) knowingly buys, or receives as a pledge of an obligation or debt, public property from an officer or employee of the Government, or a member of the Armed Forces, who lawfully may not sell or pledge the property; or

(A) the person committing the violation of this subsection furnished officials of the United States responsible for investigating false claims violations with all information known to such person about the violation within 30 days after the date on which the defendant first obtained the information;
(B) such person fully cooperated with any Government investigation of such violation; and
(C) at the time such person furnished the United States with the information about the violation, no criminal prosecution, civil action, or administrative action had commenced under this title with respect to such violation, and the person did not have actual knowledge of the existence of an investigation into such violation;
the court may assess not less than 2 times the amount of damages which the Government sustains because of the act of the person. A person violating this subsection shall also be liable to the United States Government for the costs of a civil action brought to recover any such penalty or damages.

(2) acts in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information; or
(3) acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information,
and no proof of specific intent to defraud is required.
(c) Claim Defined.— For purposes of this section, “claim” includes any request or demand, whether under a contract or otherwise, for money or property which is made to a contractor, grantee, or other recipient if the United States Government provides any portion of the money or property which is requested or demanded, or if the Government will reimburse such contractor, grantee, or other recipient for any portion of the money or property which is requested or demanded.

Re: Climate Gate and the False Claims Act
These people will never pay back any money granted to them by the taxpayers, but we should stop the bleeding. This should go down just like the ACORN issue. Anybody currently working on "climate change" science with taxpayer money needs to have his funding cut off IMMEDIATELY. There is no use for these "scientific studies" any more. Get a real job, hippies!

You aren't the first person to mention it OP. The idea seems to be picking up steam. We just might see the day.

I'd be satisfied just to drive them all into bankruptsy paying off their legal fees.

But Big Al's got lots of dough. He's the ringleader, and the deep pockets guy for the lawyers to go after.

Okay, I'm in. I don't think much would come of it, but as long as somebody else is paying the legal fees, I'd love to see the Goracle having to answer questions about this under oath in open court. It would be like the OJ trial all over again.

This so needs a bump.

Yes conviction and seizure of all assets for all parties involved in this scam.

Now how can we get this to stick to Obama again and get him impeached? I will grasp at any reason to get him and the rest of the merry band of thieves out of office.
