Rick Perry doubles down on climate skepticism - latimes.com
The man noted that Perry had ducked—twice--when asked at the Reagan Library debate this month to name the scientists he found most credible on the subject.

“Great,” replied Perry, strolling with a hand-held microphone in front of a crowd at the Adams Memorial Opera House in Derry, N.H. “I’m ready for you this time.”

Perry said that “just within the last couple of weeks, a renowned Nobel laureate” had said that it was “not correct” to say that there was “incontrovertible” evidence that global warming is man’s fault. “There are scientists all across this country who are saying that,” Perry said, adding to that his own conclusion that climate change science “frankly is not proven.”
...Perry told the town-hall questioner: “He said there is not incontrovertible evidence, and here’s my point. The climate has been changing … for thousands of years, and for us to take a snapshot in time and say…‘The climate change that is going on is man’s fault, and we need to jeopardize America’s economy [to fix it.]’ I’m a skeptic about that.”

When the questioner followed up, in that vein, by suggesting that the link between smoking and cancer is not incontrovertible, the governor shot back, “I would suggest to you that [it] is pretty settled.”

Climate Common Sense: Power Station Valuations down the Toilet
The continued attack by ill-considered warmist policies on coal-fired power stations in Queensland has caused a billion dollar write-down in value for these energy companies which supply nearly all the electricity for our communities. These power generators are the cornerstone of our modern society and have been supplying cheap electricity for homes and industry. Because of the current hostile Government attitude it is unlikely we will see the building of any new power stations before the green blackouts start when people start relying on the fallacious alternative energy alternative.
Unfortunately this economic self-mutilation may not stop with the probable change of government next year!
