Climategate Reaches Michigan In Full Swing
January 8, 2010 Tom McMillin

State Rep. Tom McMillin today questioned the use of an extremist environmental group appointed by the governor and called for an immediate disclosure by the governor for all state funds expended to this group, as well as transparency of all data and models and assumptions used.


McMillin made the call following a plan from the global-warming advocacy group the Center for Climate Strategies that likely overstated possible job growth and will cost Michigan taxpayers millions of dollars to follow a political agenda.

"To expend taxpayer money on such a biased group as CCS was just wrong and exemplifies how Governor Granholm has run this state into the ground - by putting political agendas ahead of truth and Michigan job creation," said McMillin, R-Rochester Hills. "There will not be a net 129,000 jobs created. To follow the recommendations of this study may actually result in net job losses for Michigan."

McMillin noted the long history of questionable action from the Center for Climate Strategies that can be found here.

"The report is intentionally false in order to promote CCS's radical agenda, which always conveniently leave out costs to taxpayers and job providers," McMillin said. "The results of this so-called study is as bogus as the far left group the governor chose to stage this charade - that group, CCS, is closely aligned with scientists who hide data, delete emails and contrive to bully peer review methods in order to promote their radical, non-scientific, highly questionable agenda. In effect, Michigan now has its own version of Climategate. Let's see if, in Michigan, they'll come clean or hide."
