Author Says Some Are ‘Desperate’ to Believe in Global Warming for This Reason | TheBlaze.comChristopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the author of Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed, said that some people’s belief in man-made global warming goes back to the same “long-proved human instinct” to assign blame that led to witch trials throughout history.
“Previously, when the crops failed, leading to famine, babies died…you’d blame the witch next door, throw her on the fire,” Horner said on The Glenn Beck Program. “Now, it’s when these catastrophes occur.”
Why Climate Deniers Are FoolsLast spring I interviewed Dr. Louis Uccellini, the head of the National Weather Service. He informed me that, based on weather models, it was likely to be the worst hurricane season on record. The probability for strong storms was great.

Yvo de Boer: Europe looking for the climate future in the past | EurActiv“We need serious efforts to stick to that target of 85-90% emission reduction by the middle of the century
...The problem with climate is that everybody knows that in the long-term there will be huge benefits, huge savings, the lives of your children will be better, the economy will be more efficient, the air will be cleaner, everything will be wonderful in the long-term. But the long term is after elections,” he said.
NRSC Poll Confirms: No One Knows What Carbon Pollution Is | Somewhat ReasonableIt’s actually amazing that only 51 percent of the respondents said they favored regulating “carbon pollution” from power plants — because quite frankly, the intentionally misleading language makes it sound scary. Any time the word “pollution” is thrown around people will be for regulating it, even if they aren’t sure what they are regulating.

Are climate change talks getting dirty? » Spectator BlogsWarsaw – As reports flood in of devastation in the Philippines, pressure is growing on ministers attending United Nations talks in Poland to prove that on-going climate change talks are not a waste of money.
...Well, 10,106 people have gathered in a football stadium in Warsaw to produce more hot air discussing a global deal to cut emissions.
...At least the chaotic meeting in Copenhagen in 2009 was supported by Vestas – a wind turbine company.
...The huge stadium (wreathed in red, green and silver lights at night) is powered by coal, which accounts for more than 80 per cent of Poland’s electricity generation.
The cost is estimated to be more than 30m euros.
...Youth groups prowl the corridors carrying banners, perform colourful stunts outside meeting rooms and finally burst into tears in pure frustration.

Global Warming Activism And Christianity: Beware Of Modern Inquisitors Toting Bibles - ForbesIn short, Thistlethwaite may be a past president of a seminary that advocates leftist liberation theology, but this doesn’t give her any semblance of leadership or representation of conservative or mainstream Christian thought. Moreover, her condemnation and insulting rhetoric directed at skeptics of her asserted global warming crisis have no religious, scientific or moral weight.

Climate talks: will COP19 help poor countries? – podcast transcript JV The problem, actually, is you don't know what the fine words are because most of the meetings in these COPs – these huge, huge conferences – are secret. You never hear. You don't have access to them, there's no reportage. It is almost impossible to find out exactly what is going on. If anyone ever tells you at a COP that is or that is happening they're wrong. Nobody knows, it is done in a complete miasma of secrecy and corridor stuff, and bits get let out here and there and wherever. It's a shambles frankly. The UN, the way it organises these things is something out of the 18th century almost. The diplomats are not accountable, the delegations keep themselves to themselves, nobody talks to each other, journalists basically are spoon-fed stuff by their governments. And so there is very, very little real understanding of the scale of what's happening or the importance of what is happening. So I think a big part of the problem, actually, is the meetings themselves.
Top climate scientists call for fracking ban in letter to Gov. Jerry Brown - San Jose Mercury News"If what we're trying to do is stop using the sky as a waste dump for our carbon pollution, and if we're trying to transform our energy system, the way to do that is not by expanding our fossil fuel infrastructure," said Ken Caldeira, an atmospheric scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University.
The Super Storm Meme | The Resilient EarthCareful indeed. The next time the natural disaster du jour is pronounced “Super” or “the worst ever” step back and take a deep breath. Odds are it is nothing of the sort. And when your friend or coworker blames the latest drought, heatwave, flood, blizzard or cold snap on global warming realize that they are just mindlessly repeating a meme, implanted into their minds like a disease by other witless carriers of global warming syndrome. Sadly, the only cure is to wait for the madness to fade in the fullness of time.
Tesla Is Planning To Make An Electric Pickup Truck | ThinkProgress“If you’re trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying,” Musk told CNN Money on Tuesday. “That’s the best selling car in America.

Why Does the Global Warming Hoax Persist? | Power LineNote that not a single one of those dollars, ostensibly spent to combat “climate change,” had an iota of impact on the climate. Nearly $2.5 billion went to fund the alarmist campaign; no wonder alarmist scientists don’t want the gravy train to end. The symbiosis is obvious: the government pays alarmists billions to spread myths about the climate, and the point of the mythology is to persuade voters to confer more power on government. And the $165 billion that the U.S. government has spent since 1993 is only a fraction of total global spending to grease the “green” machine. Lots of money to allies of big government; that is what global warming alarmism is all about.
