Ryan Puzycki: It Was Settled: The Sun Orbits the Earth - WSJ.com

Your article "Climate Fight Heads for New Round" (Currents, June 17) claims that the "argument over whether climate change is a real problem is largely settled in Washington." Are we therefore to accept that what is agreed as political "truth" in Washington is the standard for all knowledge? As a matter of real science, the alleged climate change "problem" is hardly settled.

Any proposal that emerges from such irrationality can only achieve a massive violation of individual rights and consequent economic ruin.

Climate Research News » New Paper: Evidence for Solar Forcing in Variability of Temperatures and Pressures in Europe

In concluding, we find increasingly strong evidence of a clear solar signature in a number of climatic indicators in Europe, strengthening the earlier conclusions of a study that included stations from the United States (Le Mouël et al., 2008). With the recent downturn of both solar activity and global temperatures, the debated correlations we suggested in Le Mouël et al. (2005), which appeared to stop in the 1980s, actually might extend to the present. The role of the Sun in global and regional climate change should be re-assessed and reasonable physical mechanisms are in sight.

Kenneth P. Green: Is Paul Krugman Inciting Violence? « The Enterprise Blog

It is clear that those who hope to re-make America in the name of preventing climate change are growing frustrated with the public’s aversion to economic suicide. As they see their radical agenda slipping away, the Gore-ian revolutionaries are reaching for the torches and pitchforks. Krugman’s declaration that skepticism about climate science or policy constitutes treason is nothing less than an incitement to violence, and when the extremists of the environmental movement engage in ever greater acts of violence, responsibility for the damage will rest with people such as Paul Krugman.
