RealClearPolitics - The Liberal Faith

Mr. Gore predicted the Senate would pass a "cap and trade" bill before a UN conference on climate change in Denmark in December. Most of the 500 journalists who heard him speak applauded.

Mr. Gore is someone only a liberal could regard as an expert on climate change. He took exactly two science courses as an undergraduate at Yale, scoring a D in Natural Sciences 6, and a C in Natural Sciences 118.

Mr. Gore's paucity of qualifications may be why he refuses to debate scientists who challenge his thesis. And he rarely answers questions after giving one of his alarmist speeches. Mr. Gore did so in Madison, perhaps because he assumed the audience was friendly.

But opinion polls in Australia, Britain and here indicate people no longer are buying what they're selling. The Society of Environmental Journalists may not notice, but ordinary people can tell when it's cold outside.

Climate Change: Time Is Running Out | IPCC fraudster R. K. Pachauri | Newsweek.com

All this matters because the effects of climate change are very real. They are also diverse, and will likely hit hardest in the most vulnerable and poorest regions of the world. These areas can expect an increase in the frequency, intensity, and duration of floods, droughts, heat waves, and extreme precipitation. Sea levels, which have already increased in recent decades, are likely to rise even faster, threatening small island states and low-lying coastal areas. Agricultural yields will decline, with some countries in Africa losing up to half of their farm output by 2020. Food security will get worse, and malnutrition and hunger will grow.

What is clear is that if a strong agreement is not reached this year, the world will have lost a key opportunity to protect future generations and to ensure the well-being of all species on the planet before it's too late.

[Pachauri: He'd "not be dismayed by a delay"]

Pachauri told a press conference that it might take until next year for Washington to formulate its commitments on 2020.

"A reasonably good agreement" could emerge in Copenhagen, Pachauri said, adding though that he would not be dismayed by a delay if this provided a better outcome.

"If we are not getting a good agreement, then the global community really has the option of meeting again six months later or three months later or whatever," he said.

Paul Chesser - Re: Juliet Eilperin is No Joke

Juliet Eilperin's reporting is a joke. In fact, it's not reporting. It's environmental activism, as my post yesterday explained, and as I noted with Marc Morano's documentation of her work. The reason it's a joke is that the Post, which considers itself an objective news organization, runs it in its news section when instead it should be run in the opinion section or not at all. If Eilperin wrote for, say, The Nation, Grist, or some other ideological publication, she wouldn't be the subject of a blog written by me. That she is the star of reporting workshops sponsored and hosted by the likes of the Center for American Progress (where Eilperin's husband, Andrew Light, is a fellow) proves my point.
