Chris Horner Files FOIA in Wake of ClimateGate II

PrintFriendly

Chris Horner, Senior Fellow, Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) as well as Director of Litigation for ATI’s Environmental Law Center, has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Energy. Mr. Horner filed the request on behalf of his employer CEI.

The focus has to do with the refusal to give up meteorologicalstation data , and the DOE’s apparent complicity in that issue as revealed in the “ClimateGate 2″ emails from 2007 from Dr. Phil Jones at the Climate Research Unit, University of East Anglia.

  • Rob:

    I understand why Mr Horner needs a FOIA to get info at U.Va. but why does the VA AG need one? There are reports of a ‘crime’, so why doesn’t he get a VA judge to issue a warrant and conduct a raid seizing the emails in question? Seems like routine evidence gathering.
