The 'C-Word' Vanishes - NYTimes.com
The “C-word,” climate, appears to have become to the Beltway what the “P-word,” population, has been in climate treaty negotiations for a long time — unmentionable.

It’s one thing to cave to a wave of naysaying climate rhetoric and build a new American energy conversation on points of agreement rather than clear ideological flash points like global warming.

It’s another to duck and cover entirely on climate, as President Obama did in his State of the Union message.

Letters@ClimateRealists.com: CO2 and a matter of scale by Bob Godfrey | Climate Realists
If you saw the famous Al Gore graph on stage it was about 12 metres long (counting his paces), and this would have shown clearly that temperature drives CO2, that gap on the graph would have been about 1 metre so, temperature coming first. Al Gore’s advisers probably had a brainwave and worked out that if you make the graph so that it spans 650,000 years, this would make the gap on the graph 14mm on a 12 metre long stage and would be practically indistinguishable by the naked eye. With the undoubted help from the media, they appear to have got away with it.
