The Green Files > CentreRight: Geoffrey Lean on climate change policy
[CentreRight] article for the National Review in 2007 (not available online unfortunately) developed a similar premise to Geoffrey Lean's column: that we could have the policy debate without the scientists giving us a definitive, settled position. But it came to a much more sensible conclusion:

[Watts Up With That?] Ummm Charles, about that train thingy you arrived on”¦ « Watts Up ...: I am not a royal family fan,but I am amused by people who think that Prince Charles or the queen is dumb for believing what so called intelligent scientists tell them.I believe there is only one political leader who has called the scientists out.I don’t have much time for Charles,but he is probably a true believer,and he does a lot of good for charity,the ones I condemn are the ones who know that AGW is not a certainty,but are willing to promote the lie in their own interests.Mann and Jones are not dumb,they are shrewd,dirty rotten scoundrels.Australia becomes a republic,and replaces one branch of AGW believers(who do not interfere with the Australian way of life),to replace them with a AGW believer who will interfere in any way he or she can.No thanks.
[The Energy Collective] What Now for Cap & Trade?: 85% voted that "Fossil fuel companies should be obliged to sequester an increasing fraction of the carbon content of the products they sell to avoid dangerous climate change?" For details on why this proposal would be easier for all countries to agree to than cap and trade or a carbon tax, how it would work, how it would encourage energy saving, renewables and nuclear and how it would stop global warming see my blog at
[Spectator Live] Why winning isn't enough - and a response to The Fink | The Spectator: By the time you add up all the concessions Cameron has felt it necessary to make to this amazingly unpopular and unsuccessful Prime Minister (NHS spending pledge, the idea that care = cash, 50p tax, Lord Stern, DFID spending pledge, Climate Change Act, inflation targeting), they will tie his hands in office. And those of us who vigorously oppose the ideas coming from Gordon Brown can hardly be expected to applaud them if endorsed under duress by Cameron.
[NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias] Matthews Belittles Climate Change Skeptics and Homeschoolers ...: First of all, your premise is garbage. Gore is not a Capitalist, he's a Marxist. Secondly, the suggestion that greed is a motivation limited solely to capitalism is false, driven either by your ignorance or your dishonesty. Socialism IS greed...the beneficiaries are fewer, and those beneficiaries receive more relative to those they pretend to be assisting. Gore's greed is for authoritarian power. Frankly, he's still bitter that he lost the 2000 Election (fair and square, by the way), and what better way to avenge your bitterness than to profit at the expense of those who rejected you? Gore's greed is not just for the money, it's for the power that he claims he was denied. Socialists/Marxists like Gore are greedy for power, for authority, for the license to interfere in others' lives.
[Mojo Feed | Mother Jones] Is Whole Foods Bad for the Planet? | Mother Jones: Whole Foods is ubiquitous in many urban and suburban areas, and the people who shop there, although many of them may fancy themselves liberals, are above all just people who can afford to and who run in those circles. They shop at Whole Foods because of the prestige, the quality and the fact that they have been scared into worrying that the food in the regular old supermarket will hurt them and hoodwinked into thinking that the food at Whole Foods is somehow fundamentally different.
[Full Comment] Steve Janke: More mistakes from those wacky experts at the UN ...: Chemical, pollen, and phytolith data, which indicate conditions of estuarine deposition and terrigenous inputs from adjacent dry land, document Holocene climate variability that parallels the Maya lowlands and other New World tropical locations. Human population history in this region may be driven partly by climate variation: sedentary human populations spread rapidly through the estuarine zone of the lower coast during a dry and variable 4th millennium B.P.
[Watts Up With That?] Save the planet from GHG's - use astroturf? « Watts Up With That?: while in terms of coarse roots having diameters greater than 2 mm and extending to a soil depth of 32 cm, they report that “biomass sampled in 2008 was “twice as great in elevated CO2.” In fact, we calculate from the graphical representation of their results that the coarse-root biomass was fully 130% greater, which is really astounding, particularly in light of the fact that the extra 200 ppm of CO2 supplied to the air surrounding the CO2-enriched trees represented an enhancement of only about 55% above ambient conditions.
[SustainAbility Latest] SustainAbility at the UN Climate Change Conference 2009: Apparently, in the early hours of this morning in the AWG-LCA Plenary, Bolivia called for "no more than 1°C", which frankly seems absurd at this stage, but serves to remind us that some of the world's nations - especially those dependent on predictable glacial melt water for their survival - are uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and are unafraid to say so.
[Innocent Bystanders] Boring Unemployment News « Innocent Bystanders: And, as geoff’s charts continue to show, that’s not really working out all that well either, is it? They spent almost a trillion dollars, and want to spend more, and they are STILL having to give welfare handouts to more and more people.
[blog.cagle.com - main] Cartoons | blog.cagle.com - main: And may I respectfully submit that _I_ believe this means you, Cate, geoff, Stug, Esato, and Good Life. I see no refutation of what I’ve offered, only generic criticisms arriving at one of the most bizarre conclusions I’ve ever read here (and that’s saying something considering the daily onslaught of illogical conclusions and opinions offered by the merry band of folks I named) and one lame stab at how green Greenland was.
[Watts Up With That?] The purge continues « Watts Up With That?: I wish someone would mention this to a certain naive reporter who is currently blogging about the 2035 debacle and attempting to formulate an alternate theory of Himalayan glacial meltdown by employing the Stern Report as a reference point. This guy (who claims to have published articles in Science, Nature, and National Geographic) apparently believes that the annual global mean surface temperature will rise from 14 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius by the year 2060.

You are a mindless Obama-bot whose party has been taken over by the likes of Willian Ayers and Bernadine Dorn(terrorists), Rev, Jeremiah Wright(an anti-american, and a bunch of idiots who think Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez are great leaders.
