Carbon Tariffs: Rep. Levin Dishes On Obama, India in Copenhagen - Environmental Capital - WSJ

Is the Obama administration warming to the idea of carbon tariffs?

That’s the gist of remarks Friday by Rep. Sander Levin (D., Mich.), in Copenhagen to observe the United Nations climate summit. He says that despite President Obama’s statement to reporters in June that such tariffs could send “protectionist signals” to the world, administration officials have told him the threat of such penalties has given the U.S. a bit of leverage in talks aimed at prodding major developing nations to control their emissions.

Liberty News Central: Looting the West -not in my name

I am truly sorry that my country, India, and it's moronic but venal leaders have ganged up with similar gangsters from other 'developing' nations to pick your pockets, raid your banks, burgle your savings.They intend not only to loot trillions from you in the name of stopping climate change but to enslave you with brutal controls('global regulations').They will make the life blood of your civilization -affordable and plentiful access to energy - prohibitively expensive and scarce.

Are Climate Change Deniers Like Modern Slave Owners? |Triple Pundit

Nearly 150 years ago, slave owners believed that they could abuse human beings and cloaked themselves in a variety of arguments to justify their actions. Some even misquoted the bible to support their racist views. Other took a blind eye and said “That’s just the way it is.” It could also be suggested that some found it difficult to acknowledge the fundamental inequities of slavery because they feared the financial consequences to their plantations and businesses.

Today, climate skeptics believe that we can continue to abuse our planet without regard to the consequences. Not surprisingly, this view is particularly popular among those individuals and corporations that have the most to lose in a world where the true cost is allocated to carbon emissions.

Barack Obama's Teleprompter's Blog: Copenhagen Here We Come

Big Guy and I are headed out this afternoon for Copenhagen, where we plan to make an impassioned speech about how hot it is, and who better than a guy who just emotes heat like no one else. Big Guy and I have been rehearsing this speech for more than two weeks, in part because since our health care bill is tanking, a global warming treaty is the only Winter Solstice gift we can give our friends in the progressive movement.

Russians Are Right! Met Office Uses Selective Data: Barry Napier

I don’t like to keep on about it, but I said this in my book last year! I got the information via a science forum I belong to, populated by high-level scientists, including IPCC contributors. To get into my book I had to have had the information in early 2008, meaning that the truth about the Russian weather stations was made at least in 2007!

What we knew at that time was simple: the Russians closed down a huge number of temperature measuring stations, at the same time as Western scientists were collating world figures subsequently used in the IPCC Reports. Suddenly, there were incomplete data from a vast area of the northern hemisphere. But, the westerners continued without these vital figures! And, make no mistake, proxy measurements, whether tree-rings or satellite, are not equal to thermometer measurements and should never be mixed.
