Here an Activist, There an Activist « NoFrakkingConsensus
...this organization is riddled with activists.

For every circumspect scholar who behaves in an upright and professional manner there’s another whose judgment is impaired. Blatantly and obviously so. Any scientist who gets into bed with lobby groups such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is not a scientist who should expect the public to trust him.

Sorry, folks, but this is too important. We’re being told that, in order to save the planet, we have to restructure our economies, diminish our lifestyles, and even change our values. Well before I do any of those things I need to be assured that the people who’ve arrived at these conclusions are above reproach. I need to know there’s no funny business going on.

the theory in question is CATASTROPHIC, ANTHROPOGENIC global warming. Sea levels, temperatures and glaciers certainly help establish the “global” and the “warming” aspects of the theory, but the other two terms are kind of important too.

Both the planet and Wyoming have been cooling over the last decade.
How Absurd Is Regulating Greenhouse Gases through the Clean Air Act?
Indeed, even after almost two decades of global warming advocacy, if Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.), instead of introducing a cap-and-trade bill, had introduced legislation authorizing EPA to regulate GHGs via the CAA as it sees fit – i.e. do exactly what the agency is doing now — the bill would have been dead on arrival. How absurd, then, to suppose that Congress authorized EPA to legislate climate policy in 1970, years before global warming became a policy issue!
