Obama Anti-Global-Warming Order Is Another Boot On The Economy - Investors.com
Anti-Industry: The president reportedly will tell federal agencies they can't approve major projects until their impact on global warming has been weighed. Why halt commerce in an economy in dire need of more?
Cuccinelli blasted on climate change - The Washington Post
RICHMOND — U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse frequently takes to the Senate floor to warn against climate change, having done so, by his count, at least two dozen times in the past year. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before the Rhode Island Democrat got around to calling out Virginia’s most prominent global-warming skeptic by name.

The Marcott Hockey-stick: smoothing the past and getting a spike from almost no data? « JoNova
There are two factors in the new Marcott paper that are major red flags. For one, there is hardly any data in the modern end of the graph. Ponder how researchers can find 5,000 year old foraminifera deposits, but not ones from 1940? Two: they’ve smoothed the heck out of longer periods. Marcott et al clearly say there is “…essentially no variability preserved at periods shorter than 300 years…” So if there were, say, occurrences of a warming rise exactly like the last century, this graph won’t show them.
