India Should Support a Toothless IPCC - WSJ.com
The IPCC has been checkmated, as have so many other U.N. institutions before it. This is the inevitable consequence of the desire for global government under the misguided belief that ordinary people do not know what is in their own interest. With the deepening of democratic ideals, people power can no longer be overturned so easily. The failure of the IPCC shows that sovereignty still lies with the people, not with the aspirants for global government.
Another Storm Looms Over Mid-Atlantic - WSJ.com
Hundreds of thousands of people across the region lost power during the storm, and utilities warned it could be days before electricity is restored to everyone.

All that pain - for what?
Junior climate change minister Greg Combet was unable to guarantee the ETS would reduce Australia’s emissions by 2020
Rudd with more Qs than As | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
One student even asked him whether the Climategate and IPCC scandals, and the Dutch Government’s decision to review the IPCC advice, made him think twice about relying on the IPCC, too. Even more interesting, the question got sustained applause and Rudd was visibly angered. He refused to look at the student while answering, knowing the young man had his hand in the air, wanting to object to his claim that the IPCC just comprised 4000 (sic) scientists who just “measured things”. True, there was even more applause for Rudd’s I’ll-save-you-from-warming exhortation, but the strong division among the students was extraordinary. The great scare is crumbling, even on Rudd’s turf.

Another student, again with applause, noted that the Copenhagen climate summit was a farce, and Rudd struggled to show it wasn’t.

They’re on to him, these students. On to the scares, on to the spin, on to the populism.
