Non-Change I Can Believe In - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

George W. Bush earned the Left's enmity by affirming this stance against Kyoto but adding reasons — the sane reasons the unanimous Senate set forth: Kyoto was economically harmful and the rest of the world was staying out.

According to the New York Times, President Obama joined the rest of the G-8 in joining Bush on precisely that stance re Kyoto II, and for precisely those reasons.

Insert gloat here.

Now, this won't last. Obama is driven on this as much as any other issue as the way to define himself as Not Bush. He'll sell you all out in Copenhagen, with details emerging next June in Bonn. But for the moment, enjoy it.

The Kool-Aid Congress | Flathead Beacon

Waxman-Markey is not about “green jobs.” It’s not about the “saving the planet.” It’s about forcing America to commit economic and cultural suicide, all for the chimera of renamed-from-global-warming “climate change.”

Two-hundred-and-nineteen Congress cultists have deemed that the American way of life must die. If 60 senators and one president decide that, too, well, we’ll all be offered the Kool Aid on Election Day. I can’t wait to see who drinks it.

BBC - Climate Change: The Blog of Bloom: Who can you trust? Not scientists, say ... scientists

According to new research published in the journal PloS ONE, scientists (all of 'em, not just the ones in the pay of ExxonMobil) regularly publish 'unreliable' research.

'Even if conducted at best possible practice, scientific research is never entirely free of errors', note Thomas Pfeiffer at Harvard University and Robert Hoffman at MIT.

Now get this. Researchers who work on 'hot' subjects like climate change (and yeast, apparently) are more likely to get it wrong than those who slave away over the less glamorous aspects of science.
