Obamacare, Meet Obamacar - Henry Payne - Planet Gore on National Review Online
Planet EPA, natch, says the new rules will “only” boost stickers $1,300, a figure industry experts laugh at. Sandra Stojkovski, an auto engineering consultant, projects the sticker of a compact car will go up $1,800 to $2,000. The price of a mid-sized car $4,500 to $6,000. Outfitting a full-sized pickup with a diesel to balance the truck segment’s footprint? Nine grand.

So for those families who are worried about the expected $1,800 rise in health premiums by 2016 due to Obamacare, they may have already spent it on Obama’s new 2015 car mandate.
The Black Eyed Peas Go [on a massive fossil-fueled anti-fossil fuel tour]
I’ve been on the road for 3 weeks now, living the not-as-glamorous-as-I-expected roadie life on The Black Eyed Peas 2010 tour. No, I’m not a back-up dancer for the Peas (unfortunately). I’m not an AV guy or a personal assistant either.

I’m actually on the tour in service to a larger mission: lifting people out of poverty and fighting global warming. I’m the Tour Ambassador from one of the Peas’ non-profit partners, Green For All.
Now it's CowGate: expert report says claims of livestock causing global warming are false – Telegraph Blogs
It is becoming difficult to keep pace with the speed at which the global warming scam is now unravelling.
...
Week by week the AGW collapse intensifies. Himalayan glaciers, polar bears, Arctic ice, Amazon rainforests, all discredited. Now it turns out the great cow-burp scare is bovine excrement too. The global warming scam is, to the majority of people, an object of derision. The scientific community has also at last wakened up. They are smelling the coffee in more and more institutions these days.
...
Whatever the case, it is a different world now in the war against the AGW scam. Zac Goldsmith, warmist fanatic and Tory candidate, is telling environmentalists that green issues are vote losers. He should tell Dave that and stop him making an even bigger fool of himself. We are experiencing a tipping point in the climate war and the advantage is slowly but irresistibly moving towards the sceptics.
Globe 2010: Climate Change Denial By Bill Henderson
Below I will sketch out the present science bottom line - that climate change is high probability civilization if not humanity threatening; that the most sinister climate change danger is non-linear, possibly abrupt, runaway warming; and that, finally, the emerging global carbon budget science bottom line must be a Draconian 100% emission reduction by 2020.
