→Copenhagen: scientific fascism
Originally, the [[President of the United States of America|President]] was supposed to attend the U.N. Climate Conference in Copenhagen for the beginning of the conference, "bless the occasion and leave," said Roger Simon of ''[[Pajamas Media]]''. After Climategate became known, ''Pajamas Media'' reported that President Obama, "[S]witched his itinerary to be there at the end of the two weeks in order to give his blessing and impetus to the decision itself."<ref>Roger L. Simon.

The ranking [[Republican]] on the House Select Committee for Energy Independence and Global Warming, Congressman [[James Sensenbrenner]], attended the Copenhagen conference on [[climate change]] to inform world leaders that despite any promises made by President Obama, no new laws will be passed in the United States until the "[[scientific fascism]]" ends. Sensenbrenner demanded that researchers who authored the Climategate e-mails and documents that demonstrate climate change data were manipulated should not be allowed to participate in the [[U.N.]] panel on climate change. Sensenbrenner spoke during a press conference after learning of the Climategate scandal.
{{cquote|I call it 'scientific fascism.' The U.N. should throw a red flag. [...] They relied on these scientists unjustifiably in my opinion. Their behavior has caused grave damage to the public trust in climate science in general, and to the IPCC, in particular. They should not be allowed to do so in the future. I therefore request that you and the co-chairs of each of the three IPCC working groups ensure that none of the individuals involved in these nefarious e-mail exchanges participate as contributors, reviewers, or in any other capacity in the preparation of the next IPCC report.<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12/09/sensenbrenner-climate-fascism/ Sensenbrenner to Tell Copenhagen: No Climate Laws Until 'Scientific Fascism' Ends], FOXNews.com, December 09, 2009.</ref>}}
