Far from "keeping the American Dream alive for generation after
generation," as Donohue claims, his promotion of catastrophic global
warming would grant a diminished, deadly world to future generations.

[Nice timing, guys]: Cold winters caused by warmer summers, research suggests - mirror.co.uk

Hotter Arctic summers and melting ice may have caused the cold winter and snowstorms in December 2010.

The trend to colder winters in the last two decades could be due to warmer Autumns in the Arctic hitting weather patterns, research suggests.

...And the scientists from the Universities of Massachusetts and Alaska say we may have to get used to harsher winters - despite a warming world.

Judah Cohen, leader of the study published by the Institute of Physics, said: “In my mind there is no doubt that the globe is getting warmer and this will favour warmer temperatures in all seasons and all locations.

“However, I do think that the increasing trend in snow cover has led to regional cooling and I see no reason why this won’t continue in the near future.”

Green deal suffers setback as loft lagging set to plummet | Environment | The Guardian

The government's flagship green policy to transform the energy efficiency of 14m homes and create 65,000 jobs appears doomed to fail, with the revelation of its own figures showing the number of lofts being lagged is set to plummet by 93%.

The green deal is at the heart of the government's ambition to be the "greenest ever" as it will deliver large cuts in climate-warming carbon emissions, as well as curbing high energy bills by making houses warmer and less expensive to heat.

Patrick Bond on Why the World Has Forgotten About Climate Change (Video) | UKZN Press

If you look at the media just only two, three years ago, we were being told things were almost apocalyptic. The media itself has lost almost complete interest in the climate change debate.

Barack Obama doesn’t seem to have mentioned the words climate change in at least a year, if not more.
