California's 'Green Jobs' Experiment Isn't Going Well - WSJ.com
The green lobby has lectured us for years that global warming is all about the sanctity of science. Those who question the "scientific consensus" on catastrophic atmospheric changes are belittled as "deniers." Now, in assessing the costs, the greens readily cook the books and throw good science out the window. "To most of the most strident supporters of this legislation," says Mr. Niello, "the economic costs don't really matter anyway, because we are supposedly facing an environmental apocalypse."
Living on Earth: Green Beginnings
GELLERMAN: Let me change gears a little bit here, Jeff. Former Vice President Al Gore was also in DC this past week and he was delivering some inconvenient truths.

YOUNG: Yes, the return of the Goracle we call it here. He spoke to the Senate's foreign relations committee about the next big international climate change talks. They're coming at the end of the year in Copenhagen.

GELLERMAN: But the Bush administration refused to sign on to the last international agreement, the Kyoto accords. What does Mr. Gore think it will take to get us on board with a new climate agreement?

YOUNG: Like a lot of people who work on this issue Gore says, the US first needs its own domestic controls on greenhouse gas emissions - a cap and trade system to limit CO2. That's still very tough, politically - even with the new president...
People who don't believe in global warming are selfish
They don't want to admit that what they do has an impact on the planet. They're usually the same people who drive hummers, would like to refuse women the right to choose, refuse to recycle and would like to stop all programs that benefit the poor.
Brainwashed government employee speaks: Is Minnesota slowly turning into Nebraska?
[Dean] Beck, who is the Glenwood Area’s Fisheries manager for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), was the guest speaker.

“Global climate change does appear to be happening,” Beck told the small group.
...
He noted that it would be interesting to see what the landscape of Minnesota would look like 100 years from now. His prediction, based on changes that have already occurred, is that Minnesota will eventually take on the same climate as Nebraska.
...
“Climate change is happening. It’s not a hoax,” said Beck. “People need to be aware and learn what we can do about it. We can make a change.”
Sign of the times: In the comment section for articles like the one above, well-informed climate realists typically far outnumber the alarmists
As you can see, Co2 levels rise BECAUSE of the temperature change and are NOT the cause of it, as it trails warming by about 800 years. The ocean cannot retain as much CO2 as it warms so the CO2 ends up in the atmosphere. The earth As you can also see, we are coming to the end of the 12,000 year warming cycle and our temperature is going to drop and we are going to enter another ice age. It will probably not happen for generations yet, but it is a sharp drop once it changes. This is just another attempt by Al Gore and the environmental wacko's to usurp out economy with a willing media that worships at their feet.
