The doubters do disservice to climate facts - The Globe and Mail

The science of climate change is inexact. It is about uncertainty and probabilities. Based on the evidence, a criminal lawyer would not be able to prove that humans are responsible for potentially catastrophic climate change. But the evidence [what evidence, specifically?] would certainly nail down a civil conviction.

If the vast bulk of evidence says climate change is real and that humans are almost certainly to blame, why is the science being dismissed as exaggerated, unreliable or even fraudulent by the climate change doubters?

Delmarva's poultry industry is feeling the effects of the weekend snow storm that blasted the region, reports the Associated Press.

It's because advancing socialism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it; expanding government and taking away people's freedom and liberty and raising their taxes and making you feel guilty and responsible for all of this destruction that has taken place.

» Tom ‘I, Me, Mine’ Friedman Responds to the Global Warming Deniers, Hilarity Ensues - Chris Horner - Big Journalism

The New York Times’ leading in-house global warming obsessive, Thomas Friedman, has quite a column today. It is more a tantrum, really, as so many of his offerings have verged on being of late, if one that I find, even for him, remarkably detached.
