Power Line - A run-away train called the EPA
JOHN adds: The Democrats are crazy to push the carbon-suppression agenda. Once voters figure out what is going on, it will be massively unpopular--more so than their attempted takeover of health care. The Dems' health care initiative will reasonably be supported by some who think (rightly or wrongly) that it represents money in their pocket. ("If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the support of Paul"--the guiding philosophy of the Democratic Party.) But the anti-carbon jihad impoverishes everyone. There is not a single voter, other than those who are engaged in some kind of "green" scam, who stands to benefit from a deliberate suppression of economic growth.
EU Referendum: Cap 'n' fail
That still left the heavy industry sectors, such as steel and cement production, with about 185 million tons of permits, or 30 percent more than they needed. These are valued at current prices at about £2.13 billion, given to them free under the EU system.
Obama’s Remarks on Offshore Drilling « Climate Progress
For decades we’ve talked about the threat to future generations posed by our current system of energy –- even as we can see the mounting evidence of climate change from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf Coast.
...
I know that we can come together to pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation that’s going to foster new energy — new industries, create millions of new jobs, protect our planet, and help us become more energy independent.
The Migrant Mind: Global Warming = More Snow Cover?
It is really interesting that when global warming was supposed to be accelerating, starting in 1980, that the snow cover was in general, consistent with the belief that the world was warming. Snow cover anomalies were below the previous period. But then, after 1994, in general, each October has seen above normal snow cover, all the while that the globe is supposedly rising to hotter and hotter temperatures and the CO2 levels (gasp) were rising as well. Clearly the only logical conclusion is that snow has a different melting point today than it did in the past because that is the only rational way to explain how the globe can get hotter and yet be covered by more snow. A friend suggested I call it HOT SNOW.
