Roy Spencer : Special Report: Global Warming Gloom and Doom Cools Off - Townhall.com

Based solely on a far-Left agenda that includes a plan to control worldwide energy production, the climate change hysteria movement has jumped the shark. Now our leaders need to start asking tough questions of Al Gore, the United Nations IPCC and other alarmists.

Reducing your carbon footprint in the wake of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was the hottest thing for liberal elites and celebrities alike, but their sell to the American people seems to have gotten stale.

Warning Signs: Lovelock's Last Gasp: Gaia Theorist Says We're Doomed

Now in his 90s, Lovelock has written “The Vanishing Face if Gaia: A Final Warming.” This book is an extension of all the other astonishingly bad “science” that has brought fame and fortune to Lovelock as he and other alleged scientists began warning that “global heating may all but eliminate people from the Earth.”

Like Al Gore and James Hansen, two other prominent “global warming” charlatans, Lovelock continues to say that the Earth is warming while, for the past ten years, the meteorological satellites and other measurement instruments have reported a distinct cooling trend. At the same time, the Sun which is the primary instrument of the Earth’s climate cycles, has gone “quiet.” It is currently into one of its well known cycles of low to no sunspot activity.

Debate Over Climate Risks - Natural or Not - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com

In reporting my news story on a newly revealed pattern of extreme droughts in sub-Saharan Africa, I set off a bit of an e-mail firestorm within a cluster of climate scientists and policy experts. (One reporting method I’ve adopted in the age of the Internet is to provoke discussions by posing questions to a group of experts in a single e-mail.) A central dispute was over how scientists can best discuss risks and responses related to inherent, and dangerous, extremes of climate in a world increasingly fixated on how to limit global warming caused by human activity.
