Golden State Off the Rails As Mass Transit Ridership Plummets - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine
As Yogi Berra would say if he were paid to say it by a libertarian foundation, if people don't want to come out to a station, covered in flop sweat and carrying heavy packages in both hands, to wait for an inconviently scheduled train full of heavy coughers, nothing's gonna stop them.
Big Journalism Part II « the Air Vent
Patrick Courrielche of Big Journalism posted part II of climategate. Patrick, in a startlingly brash move, took the now unusual journalistic step of actually asking people what happened rather than just making it up. It probably took twice as much time as making it up would have. In addition, it’s probably more boring than fiction, but you actually get to hear a reasonably accurate account of the events which broke climategate. Call it a trade off.

Iquanas in the coal mine | CLIMATEGATE
Evidence from the real world grows ever more compelling that the great climate science emperors really don’t have any clothes. So can someone please tell Al? It’s cold outside, buddy–you better get your clothes back on!
EU Referendum: Honouring a pledge
National Grid today issued its fourth gas shortage alert so far this year, blaming a sharp drop in the supply of gas from a giant field off Norway.

The Copenhagen Disaccord
The planet has only so much "atmospheric space"--the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. With global temperatures having risen 0.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and with another 0.6 "in the pipeline" because of the long life span of carbon dioxide, much of the atmospheric space has already been occupied.

2009 climate coverage — The Daily Climate
While byline counts are a by no means the only way to measure a journalist's quality - a reporter might spend months researching and investigating a single story - we offer here a list the most prolific 50, with affiliation and number of stories in the Daily Climate's archives:
...

American Thinker: Mother Nature's Sucker-Punch
The president indeed deserves a Nobel Prize, but for tomfoolery. It should be presented to him by Al Gore, who is often called a "prophet" by his groupies. Some prophet, he. In January of 2006, he was quoted in the Washington Post as claiming that "humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan." A third of the way down Gore's apocalyptic timeline, things are still not getting any warmer. Quite to the contrary, if it continues in this way, by the end of the ten years we will have all frozen to death.
