So the warmists must be wrong about that drought or these floods | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
Three conclusions suggest themselves as the good rains return and flood large parts of the country:

1. Maybe “the system” isn’t warming up, then.

2. Maybe man-made global warming isn’t causing these floods.

3. Maybe man-made global warming didn’t cause that drought.

At least one, and possibly all, of the above must be true. What’s also true is that newspapers such as The Age, which for so long deliberately stifled questioning of the global warming faith, must now apologise for not just bad and unethical journalism, but for misleading so many of its trusting readers for so long.
Enron as a Political Company (Part III: Robert L. Bradley Jr. Interview) — MasterResource
“Ken Lay lives in Jim Rogers! The master of the regulation game for natural gas transmission brought Lay’s get-out-in-front political strategy from Enron to a company called Public Service Company of Indiana, which became Cinergy, which was bought by Duke Energy. Rogers positioned his coal-laden company as very concerned about climate change and wanting cap-and-trade regulation.”
American Thinker: Green Follies Escalate in the Face of Failure
In the real world, these buggers burn out at a fast rate. If I may indulge the reader with my own personal tale: I bought into the dream, mostly because I thought I would save money and energy. Also, I am lazy, and I got tired of getting up on the ladder or slippery surfaces to reach bulbs that needed to be replaced. I thought screwing these wonder-bulbs in as substitutes would save me time and some nagging from everyone in the house. Well...the nagging never stopped, since everyone complains about the quality of the light and how long it takes for these things to power up to their full brightness (a brightness that is a bit unnatural). The studies in California show that these bulbs do not work well in recessed lighting and in bathrooms. This is bad news for me, since most of our lights are recessed.

So once again, we see how government elites and green dreamers have pushed through programs -- imposing them on us -- that have proven to be boondoggles and failures.
