Fickle Breezes: China’s Wind Power Growth Collides With the UN - Environmental Capital - WSJ
The CDM program is based on the idea of “additionality.” That is, wind farms in Mongolia—or natural-gas flaring at Brazilian landfills—are only meant to qualify for international carbon credits if they are otherwise uneconomical.
Climategate: The chickens are coming home to roost
Regardless of the efforts on the part of the mainstream media to ignore Climategate—the biggest pseudoscientific hoax since the Piltdown Man—the wheels of justice are starting to grind, and the future doesn’t look good for the cabal of global warming (AGW) “scientists.” To paraphrase the words of our favorite pastor, Rev.

Climategate: it’s all unravelling now – Telegraph Blogs
...This is why those of us who oppose his scheme to carbon-tax the global economy back to the dark ages must do everything in our power to bring the scandal to a wider audience. One way to do this is law suits.

At Ian Plimer’s lunch talk yesterday, Viscount Monckton talked of at least two in the offing – both by scientists, one British, one Canadian, who intend to pursue the CRU for criminal fraud. Their case, quite simply, is that the scientists implicated in Climategate have gained funding and career advancement by twisting data, hiding evidence, and shutting out dissenters by corrupting the peer-review process. More news on this, as I hear it.
Inhofe Calls For "Climategate" Investigation
This controversy "could have far-reaching policy implications," Inhofe continued, "affecting everything from (to name a few) cap-and-trade legislation, state and regional climate change programs," and "the Environmental Protection Agency's ‘Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act'..." These policies "will have enormous economic impacts, not least the EPA's proposed endangerment finding, which, when finalized, will lead to a torrent of new federal regulations that will destroy thousands of jobs and make electricity and gasoline more expensive for consumers and small businesses."
