Cap-and-Trade: What's Next? - Sen. James Inhofe 
So, let me get this straight: China opposes any binding emission reduction targets on itself; China wants the U.S. to accept draconian emission reduction targets that will continue to cripple the U.S. economy; and on top of that, China wants the U.S. to subsidize its economy with billions of dollars in foreign aid. In the final analysis, one must give China credit for seeking its economic self-interest. I sure hope the Obama administration will do the same for America…
The Suspicious Science Behind Man-Made Global Warming-Minyanville
There's no doubt the science isn't settled. The data's not fitting the model. With the Earth cooling, what was the real reason for cramming the Cap & Tax Bill (its actual name) through the House? Hopefully, some “cooler” heads will start looking at both sides of the story, and will come up with an energy bill that doesn't include caps on CO2 -- which, it's beginning to seem, may have nothing to do with global warming.

Traitors, betraying the planet? Paul, let me give you a little advice. You got Cap & Tax through the House. It’s summer -- chill. Lighten up a bit and check out icecap.us. You might discover that there are some quality traitors at work out there.
Suppressed EPA scientist breaks silence, speaks on Fox News | Washington Examiner
Alan Carlin, the senior EPA research analyst who authored a study critical of global warming that was suppressed by agency officials, has broken his silence and spoken on Fox News about his situation. Carlin told "Fox & Friends" Steve Ducy and Gretchen Carlson that his most important conclusion in the study was that the U.S. should not rely upon recommendations of the UN in making policy decisions regarding global warming.

"The most important conclusion, in my view, was that EPA needed to look at the science behind global warming and not depend upon reports issued by the United Nations, which is what they were thinking of doing and in fact have done," Carlin said.

Asked what happened to his study once it was completed, Carlin said "my supervisors decided not to forward it to the group within EPA who had the responsibility for preparing an overall report which would guide EPA on whether to find that the emission of global warming gases would be something that EPA should regulate."

CEI Files EPA’s Own Suppressed Report, Demands EPA Global Warming Proceeding Be Reopened | CEI
Washington, D.C., June 30, 2009—The Competitive Enterprise Institute today is demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency allow public comment on an internal global warming report that the agency itself suppressed.

CEI is submitting the report to the EPA and formally requesting that EPA re-open the comment period on its so-called “endangerment proceeding,” so the public can comment on both the report and on EPA’s conduct. EPA’s official comment period ended June 23.
