Global warming scandal grows
So, as I have written before, there is abundant reason to get our facts right before we take steps to prevent something we may not be causing and which may not even exist.

Jeff Landin column: Going green may mean job losses for paper industry | postcrescent.com | Appleton Post-Crescent
So what are our concerns? There are several, and all revolve around increasing cost on the industry. From annual inspection of boilers and mandates for action to the increase renewable energy requirements, this legislation has the potential to cost the paper industry alone hundreds of millions of dollars. As you no doubt know, the paper industry is in an extremely competitive business environment and anything that would put us at a competitive disadvantage could cost this state more jobs in the future.
Climate legislation can't wait, capping carbon emissions is job No. 1 - Bee Editorials - Modbee.com
If carbon-credit offsets are considered a potential arena for fraud by Wall Street and some climate change data linked to carbon trading interests is considered to have tarnished the otherwise provable science of climate change, Congress can eliminate the profit motive by scrapping carbon trading all together.
Kent News - Tory split on climate change policy "denied"
KENT NEWS: A senior Conservative has hit back at claims that his party is sceptical about their policies to tackle climate change.

Greg Clark, the shadow energy and climate change secretary, said there was "broad agreement" among his fellow MPs that the country must reduce its reliance on fossil fuels to protect its energy security and keep fuel prices low.

However, Tim Mongomerie, the founder and editor of the ConservativeHome website, which is said to represent grassroots Tory opinion, has said that the majority the party, including six members of the shadow cabinet, are sceptical about the economic impact of policies to reduce emissions.
Rachel Maddow Cherry-picks Glenn Beck To Call Him A Liar | NewsBusters.org
In the end, no one is claiming that one or two snowstorms disprove the theory of global warming. Instead, when folks that don't believe Gore's nonsense cite isolated weather events, it's to mock him and his sycophant followers who tie seemingly every heatwave, hurricane, drought, wildfire, tornado, and even SNOWSTORMS to climate change.

Unfortunately, much as Maddow demonstrated Friday evening, these folks just don't get the joke...which makes it even funnier!
The big issue: global warming | From the Observer | The Observer
Having whetted our appetite with a two-page debate between your science editor and Benny Peiser, please devote at least two pages to an exposition of the evidence that convinced Robin McKie. This would help intelligent readers, whose scientific knowledge may be only slightly less than Mr McKie's, to make up their own minds instead of relying on his say-so. Few people have access to the relevant scientists or have time to sift through IPCC reports, but we do want verifiable facts and reliable statistics from named sources.
