[2007: Remember when *lack* of snow meant that the alarmists were right?]:  Balmy, Snowless Winter Worries Mainers

McGowan said he has just watched former Vice President Al Gore's movie on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," and it made sense to him. He remembers growing up in Pittsfield, where in 1969 a blizzard dumped 110 inches of snow. In the 1990s, a heavy February snowstorm meant he had to dig down to the door of his Allagash camp.

» Newly-Elected Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli: Activist! - Big Government

Cuccinelli believes, rightly, that regulations based on the findings of the EPA in this sketchy case would be both legally questionable and detrimental to Virginia’s economy. (Much of the research that the EPA has based these findings upon has come from the questionable climate-gate materials). Accordingly, the AG also has petitioned a federal appeals court to review the EPA’s findings.

Keep an eye on this guy. He means business. And by picking these kinds of necessary fights, he’s certainly going to need backup.

Bloggers4UKIP: Lord Monckton launches environment policy

Lord Monckton has launched UKIP's environment policy which focusses on the climate change scam.

UKIP will withdraw funding for the discredited corrupt IPPC, pull out of the EU Carbon Trading Scam and establish a Royal Commission to find the real science about climate change rather than the hysterical propaganda by career climate change "scientists".

Lord Monckton also said that Al Gore's propaganda piece, An Inconvenient Truth, in particular would be banned. People uncomfortable with banning things should note that propaganda is already banned in English schools.

Monsanto bets that global warming is real

...three years ago, St. Louis-based Monsanto convened a panel of experts to investigate the science behind global climate change.
It may seem an unlikely topic for a biotechnology company. But Monsanto’s $11.7 billion in annual sales are heavily dependent on agriculture. It’s hard to think of another Missouri company with more at stake in a warming world.
“We got a group of our best scientists together and started thinking about the impact on our business,” Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant explained.
The 25 scientists heard presentations from 10 outside experts and studied the considerable body of existing evidence [like what, specifically?].
They concluded “that climate change is occurring, and that its effects will be felt worldwide,” said Monsanto vice president David Fischoff, who supervised the review.
