Sammy Wilson, N I Environment Minister, bans global warming propaganda :: Gerald Warner, Telegraph blogs
All the usual suspects, including the Greens and Friends of the Earth, are apoplectic (beautiful sight!) and the knives are out for Sammy in a big way. He is a notorious global warming heretic who says he does not believe the advertisements' message that "man-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of climate change".Forecast for Florida oranges slashed by 4 million boxes -- OrlandoSentinel.com
Neither does any other sane and well-informed person; but it is so rare to encounter anybody to whom that description can be applied in politics, least of all at ministerial level, that one can only marvel how this maverick got through the net. The obvious action plan for right-thinking people now is: a) send a case of Bushmills' best to Mr Wilson in appreciation b) begin the process of conscripting him into the UK government (the post-election one) c) tell global warming fanatics where to put their hockey stick.
This has been a bad 24 hours for the climate-change liars...
The first Florida citrus crop forecast since January's bitter cold snap was released this morning, and forecasters slashed the state's orange harvest estimate by 4 million boxes, or 360 million pounds of fruit, with the full extent of losses still uncertain.Holocene Climatic Change in the North American Great Plains
For a broad swath of the midsection of the United States stretching from the center of Texas all the way to the U.S. border with Canada (and probably some distance beyond), the supposedly unprecedented warming of the 20th century (according to claims of the world's climate alarmists) was not unprecedented at all, having likely been surpassed one thousand, two thousand and four to five thousand years ago, when there was much less CO2 in the air than there is today. This observation thus begs the question of what was the cause of those earlier warmer-than-present periods. The answer of Nordt et al. is that "these warm intervals ... exhibit a strong correlation to increases in solar irradiance," as per the irradiance reconstruction of Perry and Hsu (2000).
