Testimony of John Coleman to the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands April 7 | Climate Realists
Here is what I know as scientific fact: There is no significant man-made global warming or climate change at this time, there has not been any in the past and there is little reason to fear any in the future.

In effect, Congress and the president are making a bet here that our nation can restructure its power-generation profile, and we all will live happily ever after. But many realize that this is a high-stakes move, and the economy of significant regions of the nation is at risk.

This nation, whether we agree or not, appears to have made the political decision to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as a way to lessen the threat of climate change. But we all need to understand what we are doing before we do it. We need to understand the risks, rewards and costs. And I hope we can agree to listen to those who understand the energy business.

Harvard Astrophysicist says global cooling may prompt rethink of man-made warming theory
"There were very few sunspots in 2008 and by all measures, 2008 was a cold year," said Dr. Soon. And that link between temperatures on Earth and sunspot activity can be picked out many times from past history.

"For example, from 1645 to 1715 there were no sunspots and it was a very, very cold period for our planet. Most call it the "Little Ice Age," said Dr. Soon. "Based on my research, I tend to be in support of a very, very strong role by the Sun's energy input as a climate driver. If you were to ask me about the role of CO2, I would say its very, very small," he added.  [Via Marc Morano]
Livestock are carbon sinks – van der Lingen - Country-Wide Publications Ltd.
My original article argued that cattle and sheep do not contribute to an increase in greenhouse gases but, to the contrary, are carbon sinks. Hocking seems to agree with most of what I am saying. So what is he arguing about?
