Western Producer - Ag [swindle] a side deal at climate [swindle] talks
McCabe, president of the Soil Conservation Council of Canada and vice-president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said in Canada agriculture is 10 percent of the greenhouse gas problem and 20 percent of the solution with the right policies.

“Internationally, I would say it is 15 percent of the problem and 45 percent of the solution if carbon is priced at $100 a tonne and the proper policies are in place.”
[Dispatch from the world of long-time believer] Peter Gleick : The real climate hoax
In all of the recent news about climate change, leaked emails, complex negotiations, and watered-down agreements in Copenhagen, one fact has't received enough attention. The climate "hoax" is real. The only problem is that the real hoax is the effort by climate change deniers who argue that the climate isn't changing, or that it isn't because of human actions. It is, and it is. The science is unambiguous. The climate is changing, rapidly, and it is doing so because of our emissions of greenhouse gases.

I know many people have said this. I've been saying it for twenty-five years in my research and writings.
...And the recent lack of action in Copenhagen pretty much ensures we're going to see the most rapid warming scenario. The warming the planet is already experiencing already exceeds that worst scenario.

BBC - Richard Black's Earth Watch: Best wishes from a white land
Not everything [alarmist Andy Revkin] has written pleased everybody - that goes with the territory. But as someone who broke a raft of stories during the Bush presidency [yet seems strangely uninterested in ClimateGate], always set climate change in the context of other issues such as the growing human population, and regularly offered tantalising titbits of thought and analysis, he contributed to the understanding of climate change more than he probably realises - and his departure leaves a huge hole.
A History of Hysteria for lost sheep.....READ THIS !!
[David Andolfatto] An interesting recurring fact of human history is the endless supply of doomsayers. One would think that this large supply would drive the price (wages) of these prophets of doom to zero. But from Isaiah to Al Gore, we see that this is not so. We are left to conclude one of two things: either economic theory is wrong; or there exists a large persistent demand for doom and gloom.
