Will Hillary's Gambit Work? - The Daily Beast

There really is a global consensus that global warming and financial meltdown threaten all nations. (Even if not everyone wants to do much about it.) But there’s no global consensus on human rights or nuclear proliferation.

The American Spectator : Chris Horner : The Fudge Factor

I appreciate Bill O'Reilly informing his large audience that cap-and-trade is a con, as he has for the past two evenings. And I'm not unused to the ritual "hey, I believe in global warming but..." preface to certain skepticism that so many feel compelled to offer for reasons unique to each, one of which reasons is surely on occasion sincerity and equally as often a vain attempt to curry favor or credibility with those who will never afford it.

What's sticking in my craw is O'Reilly's insistence that since the 1970s it has warmed one dgree (F or C, he didn't say, but as you'll see it makes no difference). Specifically, it is that his vehemence is accompanied by a shrug and "look, it's just what the stats say" or something very close to that, even sneering at others who disagree as unable to read a thermometer. OK. Let's look at the thermometer.

OK San Francisco. This weather. Are you for serious? It is July, you know. Would it hurt you to not blast me with a chilly breeze?

Running into Al Gore leaving the restroom is crazy surreal, and so much more awesome than any other famous person, or boss.
