The Carbon Sense Coalition » Man-made Global Warming Does Not Exist

The truth is emerging – there is not a scrap of evidence that man-made carbon dioxide causes global warming. The IPCC has been devious and incompetent. Australia should boycott all further meetings and withhold future funding. The most recent Ice Age ended about 20,000 years ago, and there was dramatic natural global warming - ice sheets melted, sea levels rose and the warming seas expelled carbon dioxide. All of these beneficial events encouraged the spread of grasslands, forests and animal and human populations over lands once covered by barren sheets of ice. None of these dramatic changes were caused by emissions from the camp fires of the Cave Men.

UK police join hunt for £1bn carbon credit fraudsters | UK news | The Observer

An international carbon credits scam worth more than £1bn is being investigated by detectives in at least five European countries, including Britain, the Observer can reveal.

The disclosure of the scale of the illegal trade in carbon credits will cause further consternation for the governments and environmental groups that set up the system to measure and limit emissions. It comes as the EU introduces rules to control the fraud.

Colorado GOP campaigns on a single issue: the economy - The Denver Post

Obama inherited an estimated $1.3 trillion deficit and the worst economy since the Depression. Republicans are making the case to voters that Democrats have responded with liberal excess, from the stimulus package to health care reform to climate-change legislation.

Polling shows that unaffiliated voters — one-third of Colorado's voters — are particularly alarmed, Weigel said.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in February showed independents favoring more government intervention by 2 points. Last month's poll showed a 21-point preference for less government intervention.

"Not only are independents changing their mind on how much government intervention they want, they're also having a change of heart about Obama," wrote pollster Alex Bratty.

[More inconvenient polar bear observations: Lots of bears seen, and they're gorging on whale meat on shore]

“That looks like a good spot to sleep off a belly full of whale meat,” Inlangasak says. “The bears gorge at night at the bone pile, then sleep it off on the beach.”

Fish and Wildlife monitoring dating back to 2002 (for September only) show a high degree of variability in bear numbers: a high of 61 bears in 2003 and a low of 25 in 2006. Data for 2009 is not available, but villagers reported between 36 and 54 bears in the area. We saw 20 on my two-hour boat trip.
