Pelosi rushes votes to catch plane to Copenhagen | Washington Examiner

The last-minute frenzy has led Republican Rep. John Culberson to denounce Pelosi's plans. In an e-mail entitled, "Speaker Pelosi, Cancel Your Flight," Culberson writes, "Why the rush?…I would ask the Speaker, what is more important, ensuring that members of Congress and the American people have a chance to read these bills or attending a climate change conference?"

Amid rumbling discontent, Democrats head for the exits | Washington Examiner

The odds are still against Republicans picking up the 41 seats they need for a House majority. But it's interesting that when Massachusetts Democrat Michael Capuano, fresh from a second-place finish in the primary for Edward Kennedy's Senate seat, was asked to tell the Democratic caucus what he had learned on the campaign trail, he replied in two words: "You're screwed."

Well, think of Miliband/Brown as your mum, imagine that the play castle represented about 20 per cent of your earned income, and think of those poor children as an unholy trinity made up of third world kleptocrat dictators, carbon trading billionaires and faceless, hectoring EU apparatchiks. How happy does that make you feel Barry? Barry?

Climate Feedback: AGU 2009: Getting to the bottom of glacial melting

It is pretty well established that Greenland glaciers are sliding into the ocean at an accelerating pace, due to greater volumes of meltwater lubricating their bases, which lie on bedrock. Well no, not exactly, say three researchers who have conducted extensive studies at Uummannaq, on Greenland’s west coast.
...
In fact, Howat said, we are only beginning to understand the complexity of subsurface processes in Greenland’s massive glaciers, but the basal lubrication hypothesis has already been proved wrong. If basal meltwater caused glacial speedup, Howat said, we would probably see regular seasonal and even daily cycles of movement, and this is not the case.

It's not meant to be a compliment, but it is.

Forget Climategate; all you need to know to be skeptical of the global warming theory is that the people starring in this ghastly Climate Action Network production believe in it.
