White House Pushes Back on Climate Change Email Controversy - Political Punch
"I understand that those people who have been refusing to accept science for years are enjoying their moment talking about language from some e mails that were taken out of context," [Rep. Jay] Inslee said. "If you could take those e mails and chop them up and put them in a C 130 and sprinkle them over the Arctic and stop the Arctic from melting, that would be a good thing, but that won't happen. If you could take those e mails and chop them up into fairy dust and sprinkle them over the Greenland ice cap and stop the accelerated melting going on there, that would be a good thing, but that won't happen. And if you could take those e mails and chop them up and sprinkle them over the oceans and stop the incredible ocean acidification that is so damaging, that would be a wonderful thing, but that won't happen."
Blair’s climate man should have been handed two-year ban
Tony Blair’s former climate adviser now runs one of the world’s biggest lobby groups, whose membership includes energy giants BP, Shell and E.ON according to Channel 4 News Who Knows Who.

Henry Derwent, Tony Blair’s special representative during the UK G8 Presidency in 2005, is now president and CEO of a lobby group called the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA).
Derwent, who was known as “the face of UK climate change policy”, used to work as government’s international climate change director.
