Statement By Climate Depot's Marc Morano on Phil Jones Stepping Down
Morano: 'Jones was at the epicenter of the UN's efforts to keep the grand narrative of man-made climate fears alive regardless of the data. Jones epitomized the best science that politics, massive funding and ideology could manufacture.'
East Anglia University Climate Change Email Controversy - Believer Peter Kelemen - Popular Mechanics
Outspoken critics often portray climate science as a house of cards, built on a shaky edifice of limited data and broad suppositions. However, it's more realistic to think of the science as a deck of cards, spread out, face up. Some data and interpretations of those data are more certain than others, of course. But pulling out one or two interpretations, or the results of a few scientists, does not change the overall picture. Take away two or three cards, and there are still 49 or 50 cards facing you.

Because this is unprecedented, we are not sure what is going to happen. But global warming is very likely, and reasonably probable outcomes could be fatal. Ignoring it would be like Russian roulette. Want to play? I do not.

Australia's Carbon-Emissions Plan Faces Derailment - WSJ.com
CANBERRA -- The Australian government's closely watched plan to reduce carbon emissions is likely to be stalled until February, and possibly beyond, after the opposition's newly elected leader vowed to block it in the Australian Senate this week.

The almost certain defeat or delay of the plan in Australia's upper house means Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be without a long-coveted domestic emissions-trading program ahead of global climate talks in Copenhagen this month.
EDITORIAL: Global Warming: 'Inconvenient truths' indicate Congress, administration should take another look
These recently revealed "inconvenient truths" about how data used to formulate computer models showing the effects of increased carbon dioxide emissions was manipulated at best and falsified at worst, combined with the fact global temperatures have not followed their projections — and in fact have declined — should serve as a wake-up call for Congress to determine this issue is far from settled. It needs to be settled before the Congress and this administration ram cap and trade through.
