FRANK MIELE: Pulling back the curtain on global warming

...But the real torture is watching the "settled science" crowd push levers and manipulate data in an effort to keep people scared with smoke and thunderous noise even after their Wizard of Oz "doom machine" has been exposed. Time and time again in the past several years, the curtain has been drawn back to reveal global-warming hysteria as nothing more than a politically motivated scheme to push social policy leftward.

Kyoto Protocol Dead, Says NPR - Ronald Bailey - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine

Now that the Kyoto Protocol is dead, will Congress please now kill off the Waxman-Markey Rent-Seeking, huh, I mean, cap-and-trade horror show?

Strange bedfellows: Senators Kerry and Graham join forces for … | Political News | Annuit Coeptis

...Some would give up reading after a couple of paragraphs, since the article proceeds from the deeply flawed premise that man’s activities produce harmful air pollutants in sufficient quantities to negatively affect Earth’s environment. Those who listen to only one side of the climate change argument hold this position. They accept as fact a theory with at least as many disbelievers among climate scientists as proponents.

Even though Graham and Kerry are wrong about humans causing climate change, the odd couple makes some points later in the article that are right on target.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Anatomy of a Smear

The story here is a climate scientist being played as a fool in the political battle over climate change. Joe Romm often engages in some pretty dirty politics in smearing the credibility of people whose views that he disagrees with, which in the past has included me. That people play dirty politics is not a surprise. That Joe Romm is taken seriously by the mainstream media and the mainstream scientific community says a lot about them as well.

The Two Sides of Climate Change: Doug Craig's blog

Science only exists in peer-reviewed science journals. That is the only place to find true science. If you look anywhere else, you will find stuff that looks and smells and sounds like science but it is more likely to be something else. ExxonMobil or Peabody Coal propaganda for example. The skeptics, contrarians and naysayers cannot admit this but (and this is very very important so I am now going to put this in big bold letters for added emphasis),

IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS (AT LEAST), THE PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE HAS CONSISTENTLY AND UNANIMOUSLY AFFIRMED THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, IT IS HUMAN-CAUSED AND IT IS THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT THAT OUR SPECIES HAS EVER FACED. THERE IS NO DEBATE IN THE PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE. NONE. IT IS NOT EVEN AN INTERESTING TOPIC IN THE PEER-REVIEWED SCIENCE LITERATURE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SETTLED.
