2 Manmade Marshes: One Planted, One Left to Nature - NYTimes.com

the unplanted marsh had one notable advantage [hooray!] : it sequestered more carbon — 266 grams per square meter per year, compared with 219 in the planted wetland.

The Talkshop thrusts towards a new theory of climate « Tallbloke's Talkshop

The implication is that the primary role of atmospheric gases which have radiative properties is not to heat the surface with ‘back radiation’ but to cool it by radiating the oceanic heat they receive to space. Any ‘greenhouse effect’ from these radiative gases is negligible in comparison to this primary role and the massively greater heat capacity of the constantly cooling ocean.

There is a lot of evidence supporting this view via the chain of causality determined by the basic facts. The Sun heats the ocean, the average surface temperature of which is around 3C higher than that of the near surface air above it. Changes in the sea surface temperature precede the consequent changes in lower troposphere temperatures by around three months. Cause precedes effect, the ocean surface temperature drives the near surface air temperature. The tail does not wag the dog.

Global Climate Scam » Wind Farms in Pacific Northwest Paid to Not Produce

Wind farms in the Pacific Northwest — built with government subsidies and maintained with tax credits for every megawatt produced — are now getting paid to shut down as the federal agency charged with managing the region’s electricity grid says there’s an oversupply of renewable power at certain times of the year.

ReVolt: Obama wants you to pay even more for cars nobody wants « Hot Air

So, supporters admit that, right now, the benefits of alternative-energy vehicles don’t yet outweigh the costs to consumers. To the producers of such vehicles, I say: Tough luck. The onus is on them to produce a product that consumers actually want to purchase at a price they can afford. Tax credits might give consumers more reason to purchase the vehicles, but it won’t give the producer any incentive to look for cheaper ways to manufacture them. The president’s tax credit ensures that taxpayers will continue to pay an arbitrarily high price for the vehicles long after the market would have brought costs down.

Billions wasted on wind power: study | Australian Climate Madness

It doesn't matter how many times the eco-loons are told that wind is a complete and utter waste of money, they refuse to listen, as they view the monstrosities as a symbol of their cause.
