Weekly Address Watch: For the thirty-seventh time in thirty-nine weeks, The First Green President ignores global warming

...we’re tightening Washington’s belt by cutting programs that don’t work, contracts that aren’t fair, and spending we don’t need. And that’s why I’ve proposed a freeze on discretionary spending, signed a law that restores the pay-as-you-go principle that helped produce the surpluses of the 1990s, and created a bipartisan, independent commission to help solve our fiscal crisis and close the deficits that have been growing for a decade. Because I refuse to leave our problems to the next generation.

"Science" Friday’s One Sided Global Warming Debate — My Permanent Record

As I listened this afternoon I steamed. The topic was “Weathercasters and Climate Change.” The panel was Ira and three proponents of the theory that links humans to global warming. There were no on-camera/on-mic meteorologists. No skeptics! Only adherents.

This was the equivalent of inviting Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo to debate whether Churchill was a statesman!

Hello? Where’s the balance?

L.A.'s Global Warning - WSJ.com

What's really holding the city hostage is the state's global warming law and the mayor's green energy agenda, which includes boosting renewables to 40% of the city's energy portfolio by 2020. The state's renewable goal is 33%. The mayor says the city could face hundreds of millions of dollars in fines if it doesn't comply with the state's numerous renewable energy and carbon reduction mandates. But of course complying with these mandates means a sharp increase in energy prices, as Los Angeles residents are now discovering.

L.A.'s predicament is merely a preview of what municipalities across California have to look forward to as the state's renewable energy mandates begin to bite. It's also a cautionary tale for states that want to emulate California's global warming law. Little wonder a popular revolt is building against the state's carbon dictates. A repeal referendum may make it on the ballot in November.
