Dueling Newts on cap and trade: 2007's cap-and-trade scam advocate becomes 2009's cap-and-trade scam naysayer
Does Newt simply not realize how easy it is to check on what he’s said or does he simply not care?
Sounds like a pretty tiny "signal" to me: Climate change linked to increase of cholera cases in Zambia

US ambassador: Our climate fraud plan is more ethical than yours!
With one eye clearly on UK plans to build Kingsnorth and up to seven other coal power stations, he pointed out that European countries could hardly claim to be world leaders on climate change if they were going to increase coal consumption and get everyone else to make the cuts. How much more ethical was the US, planning to cut emissions just as deeply but to make all except 15% of the cuts at home!

The ears of the British diplomats in the audience burned, seeing as they were the chief cheerleaders of the EU's offset arrangements.
