Climategate: 'The global warming movement is dead' | Midwest Voices

We shouldn't forget that the people who preened as climate saviors sought to impose measures, like the cap-and-trade plan, that would have jacked up energy prices and crushed economic growth. If you're going to do that -- if you're going to argue that we face a threat that requires paying a price in diminished opportunity -- you better have good evidence, and the IPCC simply didn't have the goods.

CNN Money: Obama's climate change [scam] police

The mining association is continuing to work with Congress to draft what they feel is a better global warming bill, said the association's spokeswoman Carol Raulston. Plus, they are hoping Congress steps in and tells EPA to back off, even if they don't have separate climate legislation ready to go.

That last strategy right now is a long shot. Even if they could muster the votes in Congress, it's thought the president would veto such a move.

But as Raulston says, "There train may have left the station, but there are many stops along the way."

First big stop? This year's midterm elections.

Pentagon's Climate Change Command - HUMAN EVENTS

President Obama is hurrying to create military climate change command, apparently planning to spend a big chunk of increasingly scarce Defense Department funds on monitoring global warming. Even though climate change science is questionable, Obama and the Democratic Congress are setting the stage to focus the Pentagon on doomsday environmentalism.

Presidential candidate Obama said “Few challenges facing America – and the world – are more urgent than combating climate change.” Obviously, he expects the military to become part of his administration’s radical climate change effort even if it drains resources from other critical missions.

That’s why once the dust settles from the new QDR the administration will seek to bring synergy to its effort by standing up a Pentagon office for climate change-related operations. And before the end of Obama’s term, expect him to stand-up a new command to address this complex issue. That is, unless Congress gains some common sense and kills the military’s environmentalist role.

Omitted: The Bright Side of Global Warming - WSJ.com

Clearly any benefits of global warming are extremely speculative—but then so are the costs. Such seemingly deliberate efforts to overstate the risks of climate change while obscuring the possible benefits not only hobbles serious debate, but also raises the question of why such tactics are necessary for supposedly "overwhelming scientific evidence," to quote U.S. President Obama.

With last month's news of non-disappearing glaciers, the IPCC's misuse of data on storm damage, and now its highly selective use of water-availability forecasts, the IPCC's reputation is increasingly looking as tarnished as that of the rest of the U.N.
