This is why there is not a snowball’s chance in Hell that the Congress will pass any form of substantive climate change legislation this year. For those who like lists, here are three good reasons why we won’t see major progress this year.

The Case Hasn’t Been Made. The climate change case has not been made with sufficient force to galvanize enough public opinion to push legislators to vote that way, especially in an election year when politicians go into turtle mode. Events, be they the mess in Copenhagen or the exceptionally powerful cold snap we are going through, have not been on the side of climate change proponents.

Climate change: the true price of the warmists' folly is becoming clear - Telegraph

The bills for such follies are coming in thick and fast. Last winter’s abnormal cold pushed Britain’s death rate up to 40,000 above the average, more than the 35,000 deaths across Europe that warmists love to attribute to the heatwave of 2003. Heaven knows what this winter will bring. And remember that the cost of the Climate Change Act alone has been estimated by our Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband at £18 billion every year until 2050 – a law that only three MPs in this Rotten Parliament dared oppose. Truly have they all gone off their heads.
