Milloy: GOP is MIA on EPA overreach | JunkScience.com

The Obama Environmental Protection Agency just condemned to death an entire U.S. industry – a legal and scientific horror story that congressional Republicans failed miserably to prevent.

The EPA’s newly proposed greenhouse gas emission standards for coal-fired power plants will be finalized by the Obama administration, win or lose, after the November election.

RINO Climate Poser Shoots Himself In The Foot | Real Science

He starts out his article with a photo from Apollo 17, in 1972 – and then he makes claims about changes in climate, without any actual knowledge of past climate.

Shrinking the Sceptics » Climate Resistance

When psychologists are recruited into political debates, we can be sure that we are being denied the opportunity to participate in the debate. It is a sure sign that our thoughts are seen as an impediment to somebody else’s political project. That’s not to say that there is something wrong with political projects in general, but that there is something very wrong indeed with attempting to persuade you through any other means than by treating you as a rational agent, capable of making decisions. Such treatment turns individuals into mere instruments. Psychologising dissent — rather than engaging in debate — belittles the importance of autonomy. It says that you don’t know what your best interests are, and that either way, what you think is not important. It is the most vile expression of contempt for humanity that is possible within a (nominative) democracy, and is an impulse that is most corrosive to it.

Peter Foster: Lights out for Earth Hour | FP Comment | Financial Post

As noted, the main problem for an Earth Hour linked to climate change is that climate is so, like, 2008. Although you would never know it from reading the mainstream media, reality is even slipping into the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The IPCC this week admitted — although as impregnably as possible — that you couldn’t link extreme weather to humanity, and that mounting weather-related insurance claims have nothing to do with increasing bad weather, but are rather due to increasing property values. Climate scientist Roger Pielke Jr. congratulated the IPCC on (for once) accurately reflecting the state of scientific uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the climate policy process is collapsing. How often did President Barack Obama mention climate change during his recent “all-of-the-above” U.S. energy tour?” Not once. In Europe, Britain is abandoning its plans to force corporations to report their greenhouse gas emissions as it comes under increasing assault for its disastrously costly alternative energy policies (although the lights will still go out on Saturday Night at Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament). Poland has blocked new European Union emissions targets. Other East European members of the EU are increasingly inclined to block targets permanently. The Global Warming Policy Foundation’s Benny Peiser notes that the reason nobody has heard much about the rebellion in Brussels is that “climate policy is no longer a big item on the EU’s agenda and the climate mania is gradually coming to an end after almost 20 years.”
