Bill White: “In These Challenging Times, Enron Deserves Our Thanks” — MasterResource
Mayor White also introduced Tim Flannery at the Progressive Forum, another wide-eyed climate alarmist who states: “If humans pursue a business-as-usual course for the first half of this century, I believe the collapse of civilization due to climate change becomes inevitable.”
American Thinker: Another Massive Energy Tax Looms on the Horizon
Imagine if you ran a business making widgets but nobody wanted to purchase them. The federal government then decides to provide special treatment to your business by giving you subsidies that far exceed any subsidies received by your competition.

That's what is being done with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas receives 25 cents per megawatt-hour in federal subsidies. Solar power receives 97 times that amount at $24.34 per megawatt-hour. Wind power receives 93 times that amount at $23.37 per megawatt-hour.
Arrogance And Stupidity In The Press | Real Science
A generation of journalists is trained to believe that humans control the climate, and that anyone who actually uses their brain to think for themselves is is a “crazy extremist.”
Hottest Year Ever : Both Poles Now Have Recent Record High Ice Extent | Real Science
So let’s review the facts :

* Hansen says it is the hottest year ever.
* PIOMAS says the ice is the thinnest on record
* Barber says the remaining ice is rotten
* Serreze said that we might hit a record low this year

An meanwhile, the ice at both poles is at a recent record high and growing at a record rate.
FALSE ALARM: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told About Global Warming is Misleading, Exaggerated, or Plain Wrong » The past decade: warmer or cooler? Response to a reader II
Summing up: My question for sTeve is: why would you choose the GISS estimate of temperatures, which shows parts of the past decade as higher than 1998 and considerable average warming, over the other three monitoring agencies, which show much less or no warming for the decade? How can you be so sure—”dead sure”—that GISS has got it right and the others don’t? Why are you so uncritical of Hansen’s failed prediction in 1988, despite what Skeptical Science says? And why accuse skeptics of being “dead wrong” when the skeptical perception of climate in the last decade is consistent with Hadley, RSS, and UAH (i.e., no statistically significant warming)? Why not keep, at least, an open mind?
