Mark Kirk Steps Up Attack on Science with “Cap-and-Trade” Energy Tax | Chicago Daily Observer

Bast’s Comments: Rep. Kirk deserves credit if he was a global warming “skeptic” in the late 1990s, but he ought to recognize that the science has advanced considerably since then, and most of it points away from the alarmist position. We now know the warming of the twentieth century doesn’t carry the “fingerprint” of greenhouse-gas warming, that the warming trend effectively stopped around 1998, and that the severe weather, droughts, floods, extinctions, etc. widely predicted to happen in the late 1990s in fact did not occur.
