The Iron Lady had a tin ear when it comes to global warming | NJ.com

But the real inconvenient truth here is that the idea of anthropogenic global warming was a political movement from the start. Even the most ardent of the greenhouse-gas theory would not argue that there was any sort of scientific consensus on the subject back when Tickell got Thatcher’s ear. As for the current "consensus," it doesn’t include the physicists who argue that further experiments are needed to determine whether it is cosmic rays rather than carbon that play the primary role in climate change.

That the movement got started among British conservatives might seem surprising to Americans. Tickell’s British critics, however, see a direct line back to Darwin. The great-great-grandson of Darwin’s bulldog has stated he would like to see the island’s population reduced by two-thirds. His English critics see his advocacy of greenhouse-gas limits as a cover for his Darwinian designs on what another English conservative, Edmund Burke, termed "the swinish multititudes."

Big, bad winter hasn't materialized for Ann Arbor area - but wait until this weekend

"It seems that the subjects we can’t talk about here are politics, religion, Tim Tebow and global warming," said Mark Paquette, a meteorologist at AccuWeather’s office in State College, Penn. That didn't stop him from speculating Monday that the recent string of abnormally warm weather Ann Arbor and much of the nation has enjoyed could be related to a warming earth. But he warned: Don’t get used to it. Winter weather is headed our way, as soon as this weekend.

...He admitted AccuWeather meteorologists have a bit of egg on their faces after putting out a forecast in the fall calling for bitter cold and a lot of snow this winter.

AccuWeather had forecast the average temperature in December and January to be 3 to 4 degrees below the normal average.
