The GW pendulum swings
Untitled document

" In spite of a multidecade international campaign to enforce the message that increasing amounts of the 'pollutant' carbon dioxide will destroy civilization, large numbers of scientists, many very prominent, share the opinions of Dr. Giaever (that the evidence for warming is not incontrovertible). And the number of scientific 'heretics' is growing with each passing year. The reason is a collection of stubborn scientific facts."

Shouldn't this be good news? Shouldn't it be reported? Have you seen it? Anywhere?

EPA "belies logic"
Untitled document

"When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law. But there was none to be had . . . . Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist." (Emphasis added) 

Fox news? No,  David Eggen for The New York Times

Unsettled GW Science
Untitled document "Isn't the (global warming) science "settled", thus making anyone who questions the climate change 'consensus' an anti-intellectual Luddite? No. Nothing in science is ever settled.

"'Science' consists of nothing but theories that have not yet been disproved by evidence, but which, in principle, could be so disproved. Even Einstein's theory of relativity, which has been validated by thousands of experiments and measurements over almost a century, was recently called into question by experiments involving neutrinos that appeared to travel faster than light.

"If something is 'settled' it is not science. It is religious dogma, and an assault upon freedom of thought and inquiry."

EPA's Bad mercury, good mercury
Untitled document "While whipping up fear about mercury in the outdoors, the EPA is actively downplaying mercury's health risks when it comes out of fluorescent bulbs inside people's homes."

EPA v. Fracking
Untitled document "When it comes to the EPA, it's always "'heads we win, tails you lose.'" ". . . only two significant cases have been brought to light suggesting contamination of sub-surface water -- both by the EPA and both involving questionable if not outright fraudulent data."

Buried Treasure
Untitled document

Buried treasure in our accessible oil and gas reserves

"If only we had an untapped source of wealth, a nest egg we could crack and use to grow the economy, create jobs, raise Americans' standard of living while providing the resources needed to defend the nation from its enemies.

Oh wait: We do . . . . Government policies could help. At the very least, they could be designed not to hinder."

EPA Regs Create Jobs?
Untitled document

According to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, conservatives and Republicans in Washington are spreading disinformation in a bid to roll back this country's environmental protections and to hobble the agency.

The chief concern among conservatives is that EPA regulations stall economic growth and kill jobs. Jackson said the opposite is true: New regulations provide tens of thousands of jobs to electricians, engineers and steelworkers who retrofit old technology to comply with stricter standards.

GW Alarmists at it again
Untitled document

From a major California newspaper, the OC Register, on Climategate v. 2.0: "The latest leaked emails show internal bickering apparently revealing some of their own reaching their tolerance limits, such as this email to Keith Briffa of the British Climate Research Unit: 'Keith, See the last item. Why don't you just give these people the raw data? Are you hiding something - your apparent refusal to be forthcoming sure makes it look as though you are. Tom.'

. . .  "Some alarmists claim the emails are out of context. We join other critics who await alarmists providing any context that would render such comments innocuous."

Climategate v. 2.0
Untitled document

From deeper in the story: . . . the critics of the email publication are ignoring the fact that there are certain types of things that researchers should know to never say -- such as making comments that even sound like suggesting the destruction of academic evidence."

And this bombshell, the very definition of propoganda AND the apparent guiding (trick again) doctine in deciding what news to publish about global warming, notably always to select only stories that enforce the alarmist view: "Writes Jonathan Overpeck, lead coordinating author of the IPCC's most recent climate assessment: The trick may be to decide on the main message and use that to guid[e] what's included and what is left out."

EPA to extend pollution deadline?
Untitled document "The Environmental Protection Agency would let power plants apply for more time to comply with new pollution standards under a rule sent to the White House for review, according to people familiar with the process." Waivers would not be automatic.

EPA CO2 ruling endangered
Untitled document

Atmospheric physicist S. Fred Singer is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and founding director of the US Weather Satellite Service (now NESDIS-NOAA).  He is a Fellow of the Heartland Institute and the Independent Institute.  His book "Unstoppable Global Warming - Every 1500 Years" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007) presents the evidence for natural climate cycles of warming and cooling and became a NY Times best-seller.  He is the organizer of NIPCC (Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change, editor of its 2008 report "Nature - Not Human Activity - Rules the Climate", and coauthor of "Climate Change Reconsidered," published in 2009, with conclusions contrary to those of the IPCC <http://www.nipccreport.org/>.  As a reviewer of IPCC reports, he presumably shares the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore and 2000 others.

Spinning Wind Energy
Untitled document The more people know about the wind-energy business, the less they like it. . . . (P)lease ponder that first sentence. It sounds like a claim made by an anti-renewable-energy campaigner. It's not. Instead, that rather astounding admission was made by a communications strategist during a March 23 webinar sponsored by the American Council on Renewable Energy called "Speaking Out on Renewable Energy: Communications Strategies for the Renewable Energy Industry."
