...
As passed by the House in June, the bill gave Duke most of the credits it will need for 15 to 20 years for free. The Senate has not yet taken up the bill.
Cuba's Fidel Castro hails Barack Obama's Nobel peace prize - Telegraph

An Englishman's Castle: Larry Moran defends The Faith
And his graph is one of the pieces of evidence that opens up that question. How does the pattern of that graph correlate to CO2 emissions? Very poorly. Others may argue it correlates better with sun spots or hem lines. Or maybe it is just a natural warming that is going on? Maybe the human influence on a natural process is only marginal?
