Green Loans to Private-Jet-Flying Auto Execs - Henry Payne - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Taxpayers will also line the pockets of Tesla’s wealthy customers with an additional $7,500 tax break at purchase. Apparently, it’s offensive for Detroit auto executives who use private jets to ask for federal loans, but Palo Alto auto executives using private jets (Tesla’s founder Elon Musk has one in his garage) can get federal loans to build luxury electrics.

Bad data underlie global warming claim

The foundation for the claim for man-made global warming—considering the historical data gathered from San Luis Obispo County’s two reporting stations—is fallacious. Unfortunately, the reported temperature data, not the Earth, are cooked by man.

The First Rule of Fighting Climate Change: Don't Talk About Climate Change | Mother Jones

Republican pollster Frank Luntz—the brains behind Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America" and the man who coined politically potent phrases like the "death tax"—wants to help environmentalists in their push for legislation to combat climate change. His advice? Stop talking about climate change.

The environmental community is "fighting the wrong battle," Luntz announced on Thursday at an event to mark the release of a new report by his polling firm, The Word Doctors, outlining strategies to help marshal public support for a climate bill. "The least important component of climate change is climate change."

Luntz's report, "The Language of a Clean Energy Economy," finds that the majority of the public across the political spectrum is convinced that global warming is happening and caused at least in part by humans. But, Luntz says, talking about the problem won't win support for the legislation that would solve it. Among both Democrats and Republicans polled by his firm, addressing climate change was the least important reason to support a cap-and-trade policy.
