Green Bikes in NYC, as in Cash - By Greg Pollowitz - Planet Gore - National Review Online

A bike-share program paid for by Wall Street, that only the 1 percent can afford! Heckuva job, Mayor Bloomberg! New York Post:

You might as well just buy your own bike — or hop on the subway.

A leisurely four-hour spin on the city’s planned bike-share program could cost riders nearly $100 — giving cyclists unexpected sticker shock when the city revealed the pricing scheme yesterday.

Must Read! Forbes Magazine Writes Of “Rising Global Warming Discord…Rapidly Growing Skepticism”

Forbes online has just published a consensus-shattering article by Larry Bell: Global Warming Chorus Discord Rising To Feverish Pitch. Some selected juicy excerpts…

…leading voices in the Global Warming Gospel Choir are now abandoning the old climate crisis hymnal … ‘there’s nothing much happening yet even though we were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now’ … blizzard of criticism charging the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with gross incompetence and dishonesty, most particularly regarding fear-mongering  exaggeration

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds extreme floods and droughts occurred in China when CO2 was "safe"

A paper published today in The Holocene finds "extraordinary droughts and floods were parts of the [entirely natural] climate variability" in Northwest China between 3200 and 3000 years ago during the mid-Holocene Climatic Optimum. The paper examines sedimentary records to document flooding 4.5 to 5 times the size of the largest measured flood since 1934. The paper adds to thousands of others documenting natural 'climate change' and extraordinary 'extreme weather' prior to any possible effect of man-made CO2.

The problem the alarmists had, was that there was never anything substantial to hit back at. They had the equivalents of the big guns and the massive air support but there never was a skeptic HQ to be pounded, no big central organisation, no massed ranks of skeptic soldiers or even any third-party backing the resistance. Every one of the skeptics was a lone volunteer guerilla fighter, who needed absolutely no logistical support of any kind to continue the fight indefinitely. The alarmists never understood this, preferring to think that there simply had to be some massive hidden organisation orchestrating the resistance. While they wasted time and effort attacking targets that only existed in their head, each of the guerillas chewed on them mercilessly in their own particular way.

The closest thing they had to a target were the skeptic blogs but these were invulnerable, because they weren’t owned or funded by anyone and were run by unpaid volunteers. The best they could do was vilify the bloggers and send occasional waves of trolls to disrupt the debates, which gradually but inexorably tore the heart out of the pseudo-science, which underpinned global warming.
