Row to the Pole – “don’t comment or reply to skeptics” | Watts Up With That?
By the way, has anyone noticed that not once has the team posted any updates on the “the science” they are supposed to be doing on this stunt trip?
It's Official: The GOP Field Will Have No Environmental Advocate : TreeHugger
It's hard to fathom that just three years ago, the Republican presidential candidate had wholly endorsed cap and trade. As in, John McCain repeatedly pledged to fight climate change by putting a price on carbon emissions. The prospect of seeing such a proposal from a Republican today is absolutely unthinkable: Today's crop of candidates lurch over one another, racing to prove they abhor any solution to global warming the most. So extreme has the political climate become that it's now a liability to even admit that you understand the basic advisory of the nation's scientists.
If green really did save money, we wouldn’t need these laws | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
But green ratings will save people money on their bills, the green totalitarians insist.

Well, why don’t they simply trust people to make those calculations for themselves, and judge whether the price really is worth the savings?
Who’d have thought there’d still be ice at the Arctic? | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
Still, it’s odd that they hadn’t leaned from previous expeditions by warmists convinced the Arctic was turning into another Mediterranean (links at the link):
Bastardi: Science and reality point away, not toward, CO2 as climate driver | Watts Up With That?
Time will provide the answer. Over the next few decades, with the solar cycles and now the oceanic cycles changing towards states that favor cooling, there should be a drop in global temperatures as measured by objective satellite measurement, at least back to the levels they were in the 1970s, when we first started measuring them via an objective source. If temperatures warm despite these natural cycles, you carry the day. We won’t have to wait the full 20-30 year period. I believe we will have our answer before this decade is done.
