Tinley Park man dies of hypothermia, fourth such death in Cook — Chicago
The medical examiner’s office said this is the fourth cold-related death in Cook County this season.
Power Line - Paint It Black
What's funny about this is that during the 1970s global cooling scare, environmental activists--in some cases, the same people who are now global warming alarmists--insisted that governments (ours, in particular) should paint the ice caps black in order to absorb more of the sun's radiation and thereby warm the Earth. At that time, activists thought it outrageous that politicians were too timid to take such an obvious step to save the planet. In both cases, what mostly seems to be involved is the will to power: "I think you should regulate," Chu says, which is really the whole point.
