Coutu Slams Two Storm Panel for Climate Change Comments - Courant.com

A Republican state representative says the panel that reviewed the state's emergency preparedness and response is playing politics because it addressed the impact of climate change.

Chris Coutu, who is running for Congress in the 2nd District, said the Two Storm Panel strayed "far from its non-political mission and into the political minefield of global warming."

“The “Two Storm Panel” had a simple, non-political task: determining how Connecticut can better prepare for and respond to major storms.  Instead of simply focusing on solutions, the panel veered into politics with its recommendations for global warming,” Coutu said in a press release issued a few hours after the panel released its report.

Does temperature record support global warming theory? « Reasonable Doubt on Climate Change

Here is the rub. If natural causes are more important for climate change, you might expect abrupt temperature changes corresponding to say, the PDO cycle. This idea was recently discussed on Wattsupwiththat. So what does the temperature record actually show? I went to woodfortrees and downloaded the Hadcrut data, and unfortunately for those who buy into climate change alarmism, the actual temperature record does not fit the Arrhenius model even allowing for random and natural fluctuations. Instead it shows abrupt increases in temperatues, followed by stasis. And now, we could be in an era of a mild temperature decline. This contradicts global warming theory.

Network News Coverage of Climate Change Collapsed in 2011 | ThinkProgress

As far as coverage of climate change on the evening broadcast news (NBC, CBS, and ABC), this year there were a total of 14 stories, for a total of 32 minutes and 20 seconds of coverage on the three evening news broadcasts.  This is down from 32 stories with 90 minutes and 28 seconds of coverage last  year, and way off from the peak in 2007, with 147 stories and over 386 minutes of coverage.  The nearest year with this low of TV coverage of climate change was 2003, with only 10 stories and 29 minutes and 30  seconds of coverage.
