Hard to make a buck on global warming under a foot of snow | Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/30/2011
And Gore seemed like such a reliable guy! It's enough to shake one's faith in our usually trustworthy political class, to say nothing of all those climate-science geeks. It's almost as if they had some kind of hidden agenda. . . .
BBC News - Defra's UK climate-proofing plans unveiled
Roads built to the same standards as the scorching south of France; fish moved from the overheated Lake District to cooler waters in Scotland; lighthouses threatened by rising seas.
Energy Tribune- Is It Really The Warmest Ever?
NOAA and NASA are together receiving nearly a billion dollars in direct government climate research funding and up to $600 million more from the Recovery Act of 2009. For that they are expected to support environmental, social and political agendas. You can see how quickly the political operatives and the media enablers respond to those press releases (here). In an act of unbelievable hypocrisy (and perhaps desperation), Congressman Waxman even wants to challenge skeptic Pat Michael’s (who testified in front of his majesty’s committee) funding by industry groups, ignoring the clear government sponsored bias of the grant toting alarmists who testified in front of his committee. Instead of focusing on where skeptics get their money, the congress should be focusing on whether they can trust the global warming scientists in data centers, labs and most universities who have benefited to the tune of over $73 billion in the last two decades.
