Muddying the waters on Gulf oxygen data : Nature News

There has been a significant drop in oxygen in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico following the Deepwater Horizon spill, according to a number of independent researchers who have gathered data there. But the second US government summary report on the movement and breakdown of subsurface oil around the spill, issued on 23 July, says the depletion is not serious and may be down to flawed data.

AFP: Obama vows to fight on for climate change [scam] bill

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday pledged to fight on for a climate change bill, despite the collapse of US Senate legislation designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Obama said the Gulf oil spill had shown that current US energy policy was "unsustainable," adding the United States could not stand by and let China create the clean energy jobs of the future.  [Why don't we want the Chinese to try to save our grandchildren's lives?]

"We should be developing those renewable energy resources and creating those high-wage, high-skill jobs right here in the United States of America.

...we may be about to set a new record of tropical storms — in inactivity. Ryan Maue tracks the global accumulated activity and reports that by the end of July we might break the record low we set last year.

The Reference Frame: AGW makes Mexicans dreaming about wealth

The simplest way to see that it is bogus is to notice that the Mexicans are satisfied as soon as they cross the borders and many of them stay in the Southern states of the U.S. Even though the climate can't change too much a few miles away, the new place is good enough for them.

I've heard amazing testimonies of several people who visited the U.S.-Mexican border along the Rio Grande river. The vast difference in wealth makes it look like two different worlds. The difference has clearly nothing to do with the climate.

Ezra Klein - Things you should read

[comment] In the interest of full disclosure on this issue, WaPo should publish every JournoList post discussing climate change. I'd bet we would see almost 100% of those posts urging that something has to be done, making similar light of legitimate questions over "man-made" climate change. In particular, what was the JournoList reaction to the climate-gate email scandal? Isn't that something that we should all read too?

Whether Mr. Klein was generally agreeable or not on other topics, this List was clearly a conspiracy to manipulate federal elections. There were multiple instances of overt message coordination among the media. Just because a few isolated people objected in other instances does not alter that fact. There should be criminal investigations.
