Forestry Law Change Allegedly Will Help Global Warming Fight (from The Herald )

Scotland's largest landowner could soon be earning tens of millions of pounds a year from the profits of wind farms and hydro schemes on some of its 1.6 million acres of land, while making a real contribution to fighting global warming.

A rational person weighs in

We had an unusually cold January- even for Wisconsin. It didn't seem worth bundling up the kids every day, so we went into hibernation. Because I'm home all day and seem to be cold regardless if it's winter or not, I like to keep the house fairly warm. Yes, we did get our heating bill and yes it's more than any utilities bill we've ever seen. But well worth it in my opinion. Sure we could save a few dollars by dropping it a few degrees. But in the end, I'd rather pay just a little bit more to have my comfort level increase drastically.

Bravo, UK radio host Nick Ferrari:  "Global warming may be overstated"

Earlier this week I listened to Lord Lawson being interviewed on London's LBC radio by Nick Ferrari. Mr. Ferrari made the point that claims were made in the 1970's that there was about to be an ice age (there wasn't) and that food was about to run out (it didn't). Then came the Millennium computer bug care of 1999, Mr. Ferrari noted in which the problems forecast mostly did not emerge. And now, Mr. Ferrari said, we have global warming hysteria.
