Accuweather’s Bastardi Takes on Bill Nye & Global Warming on FNC | NewsBusters.org

On Monday's The O'Reilly Factor, FNC's Bill O'Reilly hosted a debate between global warming skeptic Joe Bastardi of Accuweather, and Bill Nye of PBS's Bill Nye the Science Guy, known for recently declaring that it was "unpatriotic" to dispute global warming. Bastardi argued that recent winter weather patterns are connected to El Nino, not global warming. He also linked sunspot activity to warming and cooling trends.

BASTARDI: You want to bring up the CO2 argument. Why don’t we just look at the sunspots back here – back in 1750 – and notice that they’ve been coming up – and along with it the temperatures. Basically, it comes down to this: If you look at the strength of correlation to warming, and this is courtesy of meteorologist Joe D’Aleo, CO2 since 1895, you can see the .43, the sun .57, the oceans .85, but since 1998 CO2 has gone next to nothing because the Earth’s temperature is flatlining and CO2 is coming up, so what you have to believe, folks, is this: That the sun plus the oceans plus the volcanic activity plus natural reversal has less effect than the yearly human contribution equal to the width of a hair on a one-kilometer bridge of a trace gas needed for life. So if you want to believe that, you can go ahead and believe that. Seems kind of hard to.

The hoax of global warming | argusleader.com | Argus Leader

Recently, there have been ads on TV blasting Sen. John Thune for his stand on the energy bill and global warming. Evidently, the group sponsoring these ads has not read the e-mails from the scientists who state that instead of gathering data that proves there is global warming, they actually were creating the data. In other words, global warming is a hoax.

The cap-and-trade bill is based on this hoax, and if that bill is passed, according to President Obama, our electricity costs will necessarily skyrocket.

Please call Sen. Tim Johnson and tell him to vote no on the cap-and-trade bill.

The EPA's climate con - NYPOST.com

Alarmists have been reduced to arguing that drastic steps should be taken to curtail carbon emissions just in case climate change is as bad as they say.

But such an argument completely ignores the costs of such a move -- which the EPA is dead set on imposing.

Obama’s ‘director of game changers’ talks energy breakthroughs | Grist

One could say the U.S. is facing three energy Sputniks now—its foreign-oil dependence, its diminishing technological lead, and climate change. [note: the "most important issue in human history" is once again listed last]
