NC Media Watch: Legislators in CT and CA attempt to repeal global warming legislation
Burlington Connecticut, Republican John Piscopo, introduced a measure “to repeal global warming legislation that was passed based on the assumption that global warming is caused by human action.”

In Sacramento California, Dan Logue, the 3rd District assemblyman wants to suspend AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act. In a newspaper story he declared, "AB32 must be suspended before it suspends our funding for schools, law enforcement, parks, water storage, and any hope of economic recovery."
American Thinker: Climate: Change You Can't Believe In
Current polls affirm that despite a protracted and intense campaign of misinformation and dissent-gagging, Americans now want the debate Al Gore once declared over to actually begin. And they want it free of the mind-policing tactics advocated by Obama's science director, and long before any action is taken by climate zealots in either his cabinet or Congress.

Later in Tuesday's speech, the president swore to "restore the vital trust between people and their government." That was right before he promised the freezing crowd he'd "roll back the specter of a warming planet."

Of course -- until he and his appointees take stock of the facts regarding the latter, there's little hope of success in the former.
Lord Monckton: American Thinker: Scare Watch: 'Arctic warming is unprecedented'
The scare:

In late January 2009, a U.S. government report on Arctic climate, prepared by an international team of 37 climatologists, concluded that the recent rapid warming of polar temperatures and shrinking of multi-year Arctic sea ice are "highly unusual compared to events from previous thousands of years". The report's summary says, "Sustained warming of at least a few degrees" is probably enough "to cause the nearly complete, eventual disappearance of the Greenland ice sheet, which would raise sea level by several metres."
