What's REALLY happening Al ?

...The declaration that the science of global warming / climate change is settled and the debate over, was a great clarion call to the interested but uninvolved global warming sceptics of the world. With all the goodwill in the world (and President Barack Obama has 99% of it) no fair thinking person could conclude that the debate on climate change is settled.
The general public (at least in the USA where the Pew Research Centre has surveyed) is totally unimpressed by global warming fears.
Hence the colossal challenge for President Obama. What is he to do ?
Will he worsen the perilous US economic situation and penalise the least well off in the USA with higher sales taxes and utility prices in the name of saving the planet; or back pedal, appease Al Gore and his cronies, and give lip service to the hard left anti-capitalists he allies himself with by tinkering with emission standards for vehicles.
Mr ex-President, what do you think your successor will do ?
from the UK Spectator Melanie Philips ...
...the Great Global Warming Terror – with sceptics even compared to Holocaust deniers – has intimidated many scientists into silence and cost other braver souls their jobs. With the global financial crisis likely to bring the green fantasy of crippling the capitalist world to a crashing halt, it is possible that the greatest scientific scam in history will simply fade away without the charlatans who perpetrated it being brought to book. But their names are on record; and no-one should take seriously what they say about anything at all ever again...

...So-called "global warming" has shrunk from problem to punch line. And now, Leftists are laughing, too. It's hard not to chuckle at the idea of Earth boiling in a carbon cauldron when the news won't cooperate:

Nearly four inches of snow blanketed the United Arab Emirates' Jebel Jais region for just the second time in recorded history on Jan. 24. Citizens were speechless. The local dialect has no word for snowfall.
Dutchmen on ice skates sped past windmills as canals in Holland froze in mid-January for the first time since 1997. Defense Minister Eimert van Middelkoop, who inhabits a renovated 17th Century windmill, stumbled on the ice and fractured his wrist.
January saw northern Minnesota's temperatures plunge to 38 below zero, forcing ski-resort closures. A Frazee, Minnesota dog-sled race was cancelled, due to excessive snow. Snow whitened Surf City, North Carolina's beaches. Days ago, ice glazed Florida's citrus groves...More from Climate Change Fraud, here...
