[Alarmist Tom Yulsman: Not happy that some South Dakota politicians are standing up against the greatest scientific fraud in human history] | CEJournal
“If you’re going to teach science and there are two sides, you need to teach both, or it’s about politics,” said Republican state Rep. Don Kopp, quoted in the Rapid City Journal.

As if the highly politicized resolution this politician championed as part of an obvious exercise in political theater with no practical ramifications other than politics is actually has something to do with the sanctity of science and teaching.
Too cold and snowy where you live? Try Nuuk, Greenland [where it is also cold and snowy] | CEJournal
It’s snowing here in Boulder. Again. The Northeast is getting pummeled with yet another blizzard. And a whopper of storm is barreling down on California, promising to bring three feet of snow to elevations above 7,000 feet.

So if you’re a bit weather weary and looking for a nice get-away, consider Nuuk on the west coast of Greenland (the second orange dot), where even at nearly 11 p.m. this evening it was a balmy 30 degrees with only light snow showers.
[Note that Nuuk's high of 33F yesterday fell only 17 degrees short of the temperature there six years ago]
50 °F (2004)
American Thinker: We Are Being Governed by the Elite? Oh, Really?
Every now and then you should remember that the "elites" designed, built and controlled the course and speed of the Titanic. The "elites" designed the Maginot Line, and look how well that worked out for France. Mandarins dreamed up the Great Wall of China. How many waves of Mongol invaders did that actually stop?

Remember these things when you think about the "elites" designing, building, and controlling our healthcare.

Remember these things when you think about the "educated classes" designing, building, and controlling the program that they claim will protect us from global warming. Or deciding how much CO2 we can exhale.
American Thinker: Citizen Cadres of Conservatism
Whatever the devotionals of their secular faith in blind power, these perennial insiders are almost always wrong. Global warming is a grand, malicious fraud? So what!
American Thinker: Congress, Toyota, and CAFE Standards
A 1999 USA Today analysis of crash data found that since CAFE went into effect in 1978, 46,000 people died in crashes they otherwise would have survived. That equates to roughly 7,700 deaths for every mile per gallon gained in fuel economy standards.
