KWMU: Mo. Senate committee hears Cap & Trade resolution (2010-02-16)
The resolution opposing Cap and Trade is sponsored by State Senator Bill Stouffer (R, Napton).

"We depend on about 85 percent of our energy from coal...this is nothing more than a massive wealth transfer from the center part of this country to the east and west coasts," Stouffer told the Senate Committee on Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics.

The Hindu : Front Page : No doubt, Himalayan glaciers are melting fast: Pachauri
Mumbai: Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which came under fire for an error in predicting that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035, said on Tuesday that the contentions of snowfall discrediting the meltdown were incorrect and there was no ambiguity that the glaciers were melting.

Mr. Pachauri warned that Mumbai faced a risk of rising sea-levels. “The IPCC has predicted that the precipitation patterns like rainfall and snowfall are changing. The Mumbai floods of 2005 were an example of that. Such incidents are happening all over the world. Those who deny climate change would point to the heavy snowfall in Europe. The IPCC has predicted that such extreme precipitation events like heavy rain or snowfall will be on the rise.”
AFP: Climate skeptics exploiting scandal: US [climate hoax] envoy
WASHINGTON — The US pointman on climate change on Tuesday accused vested interests of exploiting scientific scandals and pledged to act even if China and India balk at the controversial Copenhagen accord.

Todd Stern, the US special envoy on climate issues, downplayed recent revelations about a landmark 2007 study by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that warned of dire consequences from global warming.

"What you do see sometimes is that people who have an agenda that is directed toward undermining action on climate change grab whatever tidbit they can find," Stern told reporters.

"What should not happen is that any individual mistakes, typos, whatever they might be, be taken to undermine the very fundamental record that exists from scientists all over the world and from observed data from all over the world that this is a quite serious and growing problem," he said.
