Obama Vows to Destroy Coal Industry As Quickly As Possible | All American Blogger

Just so you fully understand what he wants to do, I’ll break it down. He is going to go the already established coal-fired power plants and make them pay a tax to put carbon dioxide into the air. He is going to take this money, which he admits will trickle down to you and cause prices to electrical prices to skyrocket, and he is going to give it to companies that make windmills and solar panels [minus cuts for new government bureaucracy, carbon trading companies, etc]. (He says nuclear power is part of the plan, but I’m not holding my breath.)

This will prevent the creation of new coal-fired power plants in America, which is why Forbes is warning us to prepare for blackouts and brownouts...

"Anomalous" in Finland « Climate Audit

So the October 2008 anomaly was very high to say the least, but the NOAA anomaly is always high in October. It was 11.12 deg C in 2000. WTF is going on? And what happens prior to 1991. NOAA has gridded values from Jan to July, but not from August to December during the entire period from 1880 to 1991.

Report from last night’s debate between warming alarmist David Karoly and sceptic Bill Kininmonth

The climate change debate between David Karoly of Melbourne University and Bill Kininmonth (ex Bureau of Meteorology)last night in Melbourne was well attended with lots of vocal support for the heretics’ position. Karoly came across as patronising, and resorted to hectoring the audience when the degree of opposition to him became clear. A pseudo-academic version of Al Gore. As an example of his approach, one of his first slides showed ice melting in the northern hemisphere but he completely neglected to mention the lack of melting in Antarctica. He did a great job in reinforcing the weakness of the AGW position and I’m more convinced than ever that this stuff is just an interesting hypothesis that has been taken over by vested interests.
