Greens to Obama: Don't Forget the Climate [Scam] | Mother Jones
President Obama and his family are on Martha's Vineyard for vacation today, but green groups want to make sure he doesn’t forget his promises on climate change while he's enjoying the sunny shores.

The Plum Line - VIDEO surfaces of Ron Johnson blaming climate change on "sunspot activity" [or something else]
[Ron Johnson, the Tea Party-backed candidate challenging Russ Feingold in Wisconsin] If you take a look at geologic time, we've had huge climate swings. We're sitting here in Wisconsin. Had it not been for climate swings, we'd be sitting on a two or three hundred foot thick glacier. Man wasn't around back then. So no, I absolutely do not believe that the science of man-caused climate change is proven. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I think it's far more likely that it's just sunspot activity, or something just in the geologic eons of time where we have changes in the climate.

The Middle Ages was an extremely warm period of time, too. It wasn't like there were tons of cars on the road. So it always strikes me as a little absurd for anybody to think, Okay, this is the sweet spot in geologic time for climate. And it's such a good place, that we have spent trillions of dollars, and do great harm to our economy, on a fool's errand. I don't think we can do anything about controlling what the climate is.
