… But note that it’s not climate change nor population pressure that’s causing this. It’s our reaction to the threat of climate change.
And of course we have choices about how [...]
. . . another dozen links to discussions about global warming.
An interesting explanation of how anyone with a spreadsheet and some time can reproduce the "hockey stick".
The devil, as they say is in the details. In each of the steps there is some leeway for, shall we say, intervention. [...]
I love information, and I especially appreciate a good depiction of information.
This ginormous graphic, from Information is Beautiful, does an excellent job conveying a lot of info in an easily digestible manner:

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) recently joined me on the Kudlow Report to discuss whether global warming is a real issue and how Congress ought to handle environmental policy.
Copenhagen this time of year is not the easiest place to sell global warming. Last Friday night the only thing warming the city centre (well, for half the population) were the many giant posters of Sonia Rykiel's new lingerie collection.COPENHAGEN'S thunder has been stolen by the lingering effects of the global recession. The worst since the 1930s, [...]
The answer unfortunately is yes, perhaps! In my latest Wall Street Journal column, I write:

Two entertaining pieces on how the believers are responding:
"Global Warmists Dig in Their Heels over Climategate — Kind of".
"Climategate: how they all squirmed."
NRO contributor Henry Payne gives us two for the price of one: the major media don't like this story any better than they did the story [...]

Anthropogenic global warming has been a dubious proposition from the outset to anyone with the slightest understanding of social science as it pertains to coercive government, science "science," and the nexus of the two. Even if you didn't read about it elsewhere (and there were places where you could), you' [...]
Some useful background: Steve McIntyre's presentation at Ohio State (Spring, 2008). As H. Ross Perot might say, "I find it fascinatin'. Jus' fascinatin'." A businessman started with a simple question: could he please see the data that supported the famous "hockey stick" showing that recent years were the hottest [...]
