Blankenship responds to critical letter - West Virginia News and Sports

Tom Burger says the public should beware of my comments regarding global warming because I stand to make money based on my positions.

Global warming's heyday of 2006 and 2007 is long gone. With temperatures dropping recently, skepticism may be rising.

Or maybe the conditions now are just too conducive to climate change skepticism. Not that anyone who's ever gazed out at a blizzard and thought, "This is global warming?" deserves to be labeled a denier. We all know (we do, don't we?) that weather is not the same as climate.

[To sum up: That hot day was simple, clear evidence that carbon dioxide may kill us all.  That cold day was just weather.]

Today reader Ronald Kitching made a comment that includes a link to an easy-to-read presentation that as he says is, “an easily understood presentation by Hans Schreuder. Please note that Mr. Schreuder is a member of Mensa. He is a genuine scientist and his logical arguments are irrefutable. A reasonably well educated person of 16 to 17 years of age could understand this presentation.”

It’s titled “Climate Change – So What” and you can download the PDF here, download the Powerpoint presentation here or go directly to its home at nothingtodowithco2.com.

Godfrey Bloom: When are you all going to wake up? Scam, scam, scam! | CLIMATEGATE

[Don't miss this 1.5 minute video] Godfrey Bloom, a Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), let the EP members now how he really feels about the climate change scam. At a debate in Strasbourg yesterday on the outcome of the Copenhagen, he calls Al Gore a snake oil salesman and crook, East Anglia’s Phil Jones a crook, and in a new charge, calls the New Zealand National Climate Database “all fraudulent.”
