[War in Context] Sarah Palin is currently calling climate science “snake oil” and last week, the Utah legislature, in a move straight out of the King Canute playbook, passed a resolution condemning “a well organized and ongoing effort to manipulate global temperature data in order to produce a global warming outcome” on a nearly party-line vote.

[Notoriously Conservative] Where is Al Gore? | Notoriously Conservative: It was all laughs for Al Gore last November when he hit the media circuit to promote his new book and educate the ignorant masses about the imminent threat of catastrophic climate change. He had the rapt attention of the politicians and the pundits and the celebrities.

[Bloggingheads.tv] Bloggingheads.tv - Science Saturday: Valentine's Day Edition: Nor is there any reason why the state should not assist the individuals in providing for those common hazards of life against which, because of their uncertainty, few individuals can make adequate provision. Where, as in the case of sickness and accident, neither the desire to avoid such calamities nor the efforts to overcome their consequences are as a rule weakened by the provision of assistance – where, in short, we deal with genuinely insurable risks – the case for the state’s helping to organize a comprehensive system of social insurance is very strong… Wherever communal action can mitigate disasters against which the individual can neither attempt to guard himself nor make the provision for the consequences, such communal action should undoubtedly be taken

[Truthout - All Articles] t r u t h o u t | From the Annals of Sno-Cone Science: Now I'll go out on a limb here (as a "non-scientist") and note that carbon dioxide is relatively heavy in relation to other prominent atmospheric gases, and also note that the tops of many mountains on this planet are above the greatest mass of atmosphere. It seems reasonable to me then that changes in the thermal processes of the atmosphere would affect these areas the least, and it would also seem that since the carbon dioxide will tend to settle lower in the atmosphere due to it's weight it would contribute to the thermal processes of the atmosphere to a greater degree at lower altitudes.

[Catholic Exchange] Where's Al? | Catholic Exchange: regardless of their party affiliation or their penchant for Birkenstocks and IMF protests — will agree that there are many ways in which we can do better.  Investing in renewable energy technologies, modifying our personal habits to diminish our impact on the environment, and supporting efforts to achieve energy independence are all worthy and achievable goals.

Rather than carrying out a legitimate scientific debate through the peer-reviewed literature, they are waging in the public media a vocal campaign against scientific results with which they disagree…..”

[Go Green Toolshed] Go Green Toolshed » Blog Archive » Where's Al?: All kidding and snowstorms aside, recent events have caused many to doubt the veracity of Al Gore's award-winning claims about man-made global warming and the “settled science” behind climate change. The bottom line is that intelligent, responsible people are getting tired of being made to feel guilty for every carbon credit consumed and every mile-per-gallon burned, especially when it's becoming more and more clear that the current climate change hysteria is being .
