Investor's Business Daily -- Hell Freezes Over

Climate Change: Sin City gets hit with almost 4 inches of snow as the white stuff even dusts Malibu, Calif. We don't know what computer model global warmongers are using. A slot machine with three ice cubes, perhaps?
...
The Associated Press claims that the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since Bill Clinton's second inaugural. But after it was discovered that NASA's James Hansen, Gore's chief scientific ally, had been fudging the numbers, the agency was forced to correct its data. The 10 warmest years turn out to be, in descending order: 1934, 1998, 1921, 2006, 1931, 1999, 1953, 1990, 1938 and 1939.

If there's a trend there, we don't see it. So is global warming man-made and an imminent danger? As the snow falls in Vegas, don't bet on it.

A different question altogether is whether Team Obama’s energy and climate posse will be enough to overcome all the hurdles facing a wholescale reinvention of the energy mix of a coal-dependent nation that’s now smack in the middle of a recession.

The book’s author, Anne Margaret Lewis, told USA Today that inspiration struck after reading a magazine story on melting glaciers with her 6-year old son:

“He asked how we could help the polar bears, so we started going around the house every time we left a room and shut the lights off. Then we would say, ‘We just saved another polar bear,’ ” she says. “I was trying to convince him that you can make a difference, and it worked.”
