This could be a cold snap to remember - Telegraph

Global warming deniers always use cold snaps such as this as a stick with which to beat gullible fools like me who believe there is such a thing as man-made global warming. And they have an army of wishful thinkers to support them. I note, for example, that the most viewed article on the Telegraph website in the past month was Christopher Booker's "2008 was the year man-made global warning was disproved ".

More on the governor’s climate change commission | Arkansas News

In my last column, I pointed out how, either willingly or unwillingly, the Arkansas Governor’s Commission on Global Warming is a front for an out-of-state organization called the Center for Climate Strategies. CCS travels the country convincing state governments to set up working groups so that it can funnel to lawmakers prefab policy reports containing recommendations for punitive and confiscatory environmental regulations costing billions of dollars.

CCS has wealthy donors — global warming alarmists — to please and, by its own admission, uses states to pressure the federal government to adopt sweeping policies related to global warming. Unfortunately CSS acts without regard to the cost in terms of dollars and jobs to states’ economies, governments or their taxpaying citizens.

Inboden said the commission should have taken a more balanced approach in its deliberations.

“Our approach didn’t work for both sides,” he said. “We let what other states were doing influence what we did as a commission.”

In fact, many of the states held up as examples for Arkansas were states in which CCS had worked.

Getting something for nothing is usually too good to be true, but in this case, getting nothing for something is insanity.
