Climate-Change Climate Changing: Settled Science Unsettled? | Deceiver.com
You may have noticed that world-class geniuses like Greenpeace and Al Gore and Prince Charles are starting to sound increasingly desperate as they command us to drive toy cars and use crappy lightbulbs and such, or else WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.

Why The Global Warming Scam Even Got This Far | Politics, Economics, Religion and People
The inventors of the global warming scam probably didn't imagine it to be so successful - lasting for so long and being believed by so many followers.

House Members Being Hammered Over Waxman-Markey - Iain Murray - The Corner on National Review Online
I'm hearing that the popular reaction to the passage of the Waxman-Markey electricity tax bill in the House has blown House members away. The public outrage is really hurting those who voted for it, and that's why the bill has been "parked" (as the Blair government used to say) in the Senate. Very good sign. We need that sort of public pressure to defeat this monstrosity, and similarly for the health-care plans. If these two overreaches go down, Obama's political capital will be spent. How often has a president become a lame duck by his own actions within a year of taking office?
Obama Approval Drops Nine Points -- Taegan Goddard's Political Wire
The latest Diageo/Hotline Poll of finds that the percentage of American voters who approve of the job President Obama is doing has dropped nine points to 56%.

Last month's poll found that 65% of voters approved of the job he was doing.

Interestingly, the decrease in Obama's job approval is being driven primarily by decreases among male voters (-15 points), Independent voters (-15 points), and rural voters (-15 points).
