This study is yet another example of how the magazine Nature Climate Change is presenting scientifically flawed studies. To equate ocean temperature anomalies from data obtained from one ship in 1872 with the large Argo array is absurd.

If your climate models cannot hindcast regional climate and they have not been shown to be able to predict either global or regional climate, what is the point of discussing a cost-benefit analysis based on their output? You might just as well have used a ouija board.

Ultimately, of course, none of this has anything to do with the climate. Any rational human being, and even the irrational ones on the left, knows well enough that there have always been variations in the climate. In recent decades these variations have been minor and benign compared to changes that have taken place in the recent geologic past (for example, the Great Ice Age).
It seems, however, that the left is not really concerned with the facts. What they are really focused on is power.

While claiming that America has only 2% of the world's reserves, he asks, why drill? Then he says drilling is not the path to lower gasoline prices. The 2% figure is a perfect example of the man's ever-abating affinity for the truth. It counts only the reserves from wells currently pumping. If Bill Gates leaves his house with $2 in his pocket, does that mean he is poor?
Using today's technology, America has 1.4 trillion barrels of recoverable oil, according to the Institute for Energy Research. This is enough to meet all of our energy needs for more than 200 years, without imports from enemies. Of course, it is of no use if we are not allowed to drill for it.
