And, Daddy, why can’t you even mention the words “carbon tax,” when the carbon [dioxide] we spill into the atmosphere every day is just as dangerous to our future as the crude oil that has been spilling into the gulf?

“Climate change is real and a threat.”… (Yawn…) | RedState

Ms. Rozenthal likes writing about the environment… especially stories where she can describe in the most patient of condescending terms the pity/animosity she bears for the child-like/selfish ignorance of ”doubters/deniers” who refuse to just accept her cause and don’t want to keep funding the failing eco-idiocy programs it inspires.

NPR Paints Conservative Virginia Attorney General as Persecutor of Science in Climategate Suit | NewsBusters.org

Ken Cuccinelli, the conservative Attorney General of Virginia, came under attack on Friday night's All Things Considered on National Public Radio. This is one angle of Climategate the national media have noticed. But they pitch the battle as Cuccinelli vs. Science or Cuccinelli vs. Academic Freedom.

What's most infuriating is the notion that it's Cuccinelli who's "politicizing" science, and not Michael Mann's openly politicized e-mails explaining his data manipulations and plotting to censor his political opponents. Somehow, the Union of Concerned Scientists is painted as non-political.

ClimateGate Reconsidered

An Open Letter to Prof Edward Acton, Vice Chancellor, University of East Anglia, UK from S. Fred Singer, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project

Dear Prof. Acton

After careful study, I have reached the conclusion that the CRU temperature trends published by Prof. Phil Jones of UEA (and used by the IPCC) are spurious and should be corrected. Instead of the major warming that’s been claimed between 1979 and 1996 (the crucial period), the actual warming seems to be minor or even close to zero.
