Global warming - it's always been about $$ (OneNewsNow.com)
A well-known skeptic on global warming calls it "laughable" that a United Nations' panel would claim that $100 billion a year in new taxes are necessary to fight climate change.

One scientist — in this case Dr. Andreas Muenchow, physical ocean science and engineering professor at the University of Delaware — warns that you can’t point to any one event (i.e., the Greenland glacier fracture) to bolster your arguments about global warming. Lawmakers — in this case Markey — and other witnesses then say that event is part of a broader pattern that shows the planet is warming.
...While the data certainly shows that the climate is changing, it can often be difficult to communicate that information effectively.

Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), picking up on this idea, asked the witnesses to be more aggressive in advocating for climate change policy, comparing climate change to an asteroid heading toward Earth.
