Why are we concealing data about Global warming

Well, Heritage aren't going to be interested in any sort of taxation/limits on public spending or consumption. The only thing worse than the government taxing you is the UN taxing you.

The idea that action against climate change should not be taken, as it will cost money, is a terminally stupid position to take. The Stern Review concluded that 1% of global GDP is required to be invested in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, and that failure to do so could risk a recession worth up to 20% of global GDP.

Also, their characterisation of climate change is ridiculous. They quote guys like the Global Climate Coalition, and have chapters like "There is no evidence that the potential negative effects of global warming outweigh its benefits."

Another point is that the catastrophic effects of Kyoto predicted for the US have not been observed in other countries. Several studies fall on wither side of the cost/benefit line, financially. Most scientific studies agree that it is at best a minor step.
