Climate change politics all about bluster and inaction - The Sudbury Star - Ontario, CA

What we learned from Copenhagen is that these negotiations will not have anything to do with "fixing" the climate, even assuming it needs fixing and that we could do it if we wanted to.

The real climate change apocalypse is coming» Evansville Courier & Press

These scientists he writes about are only called unprofessional and deceptive when they don't agree with his global warming hoax. Now it is to be called global climate change, since there is proof the earth is now cooling and the Antarctic ice is up over 43 percent since 1980. Now global cooling and global warming combined may cause an even greater risk of greenhouse gases? What a crock.
