Climate Inc. » Beyond Brokenhagen
The city’s green credentials do not just rest on high tech renewables but on decidedly low-tech bicycles – Copenhagen is the biking capital of the Western world, with nearly 40% of commuters, many dressed in suits, pedaling to work through cold and rain. Whether they are motivated by environmental enthusiasm or the 200% tax on cars is hard to say.

Unfortunately, the Copenhagen brand is looking tarnished and, as the talks collapsed, many observers quickly renamed it Brokenhagen.
Climategate Necessary to Cover Incorrect Climate Basics of IPCC: Tim Ball
What they don’t understand or choose to ignore is that the basic science was wrong from the start.
Florida: 54 wells remain dry from January freeze
Swiftmud had logged 719 dry-well complaints last month from residents of eastern Hillsborough County. The reason: Massive pumping of water by the area's strawberry farmers in a concerted attempt to usher their crops through a stinging freeze that lasted 11 consecutive days in January.

Growers soaked their fields during the cold weather to protect the fragile fruit from succumbing to the frost. Still, they lost about 30 percent of their crops, agricultural officials said.
WillCollier.com: Sayonara, Madame
Check out Doug Ross's full post here, complete with damning documentation. He's got the goods on Madame, and then some. If Pelosi were a Republican and Doug worked for a print newspaper, he could go ahead and make space on his wall for a Pulitzer.

This is a blockbuster story--or at least it deserves to be. It's also a big test for the national media. If they ignore it or try to cover for Madame, that'll be the very end of any residual credibility for the American major media, and an admission that they've devolved into nothing more than mouthpieces for the Democratic Party.
American Thinker Blog: The Chinese 'get it' on climate change
It is amazing that Chinese media examine what has recently come out revealing IPCC "mistakes" and conclude more serious examination of its work is in order. Yet the American mainstream media brush aside such concerns seeking to keep an obvious political agenda alive.
