A voice of reason at Bowdoin
This new concern with our impact on the environment is most certainly not that new at all. Why, the first Earth Day was held back in 1970. Except, back then, they were worried about global cooling. Yeah...global cooling.

I am reminded of that scene in "Men in Black" where Tommy Lee Jones tells Will Smith about all the things we humans "know." One thousand years ago we "knew" the earth was flat; 40 years ago we humans "knew" that the next ice age was just around the corner, and now we "know" that the planet is warming. Can you imagine how much we'll know tomorrow? To be fair, any truly green college student will tell you it's not global warming, it's climate change. So we're fighting against change, eh? Those environmentalist folks would have a much easier job if they could just make up their minds.
Obama, Mexican president [announce an agreement based on their "belief" in the greatest scientific scam in history]
The presidents also announced the formation of the U.S.-Mexico Bilateral Framework on Clean Energy and Climate Change, a mechanism to stimulate political and technical cooperation.
Consensus climate science: What would Thomas Huxley say? « Watts Up With That?
[Paul MacRae] Why don’t Gore, Weaver, et al., feel the same need to put their “truths” to the public test? Perhaps because they fear that they and the climate orthodoxy would lose the debate, and quite rightly. The few times warming believers have publicly debated skeptics, the believers have lost.(2,3)
