Blog: Not dying from global warming but high taxes

So, to paraphrase Sarah Palin, "How is that global warming, renewable fuels/highly taxed dirty fuels thing working out for you?"  Over in increasingly not so merry England, Fraser Nelson, writing in that country's Telegraph gives us a shuddering preview of what's happening there...and what is in store for us.

NASA Scientist Speaks on Climate Change at Capitol | KCRG-TV9

CORALVILLE COURIER EDITOR'S NOTE: The notion that climate change is man's fault is absurd, yet Democrats insist on pushing this agenda at a great cost to taxpayers - proposed legislation is the end game that fixes NOTHING.   This is about the redistribution of wealth, nothing more.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa native who works as a NASA scientist is scheduled to speak with Iowa lawmakers on Monday about climate change and its effect on the earth's polar regions.

Nathan Kurtz, a Fort Madison native, will talk to legislators at noon at the Capitol.

Why Hansen Had To Corrupt The Temperature Record | Real Science

Coralville Courier Editor's Note: With Global Warming alarmist James Hansen back in the news, I'd thought I'd run this link to an article from summer of 2012 again...

The two graphs below show what temperatures used to look like in the US and Iceland, before they were tampered with at GISS. The 1930s was the hottest decade, and temperatures were declining. This disproved Hansen’s theories, so he had to get rid of the graphs.

Chilling! Arctic Air Invasion Captured in Animation - Yahoo! News

Coralville Courier Editor's Note: How 'bout that global warming huh?

If you live anywhere within the northern two-thirds of the United States, you've probably noticed that it's pretty chilly outside. The plunge in temperatures over the past few days comes courtesy of an invasion of Arctic air that has been captured in a mesmerizing new animation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Obama pledges to deal with climate change - Yahoo! News

Coralville Courier Editor's Note: Another example of liberal-minded nonsense, of symbolism over substance. Solyndra anyone? This will cost taxpayers dearly and produce virtually nothing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is pledging to respond to what he calls "the threat of climate change."

He says that failing to do so would be a betrayal of the nation's children, and of future generations.

Man The Lifeboats! Global Warming Has Oceans Rising At Alarming Rate! (Or Maybe not) - Forbes

Whew! We made it through that Mayan end of the world apocalypse thing. But don’t even begin to imagine that our doomsday problems are nearly over.

Even the Wall Street Journal breathlessly reported “Polar Ice Melt Is Accelerating: Shrinking in Greenland, Antarctica Has Sent Ocean Levels Higher, Study Says”. This ain’t just your typical run-of-the-mill, left of almost everywhere, New York Times or Washington Post global warming alarmist stuff. So it must be true… right?

AP-GfK Poll: Science doubters say world is warming - Yahoo! News

Coralville Courier Editor's Note:  Check out how the Associated Press is trying to pass off a poll as news.  This is manufactured nonsense.  People read the slanted *news* of alarmism and then the paper *surveys* these people on what they're read......   How is that news?  This is propaganda, not news.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 4 out of 5 Americans now think temperatures are rising and that global warming will be a serious problem for the United States if nothing is done about it, a new Associated Press-GfK poll finds.

Belief and worry about climate change are inching up among Americans in general, but concern is growing faster among people who don't often trust scientists on the environment. In follow-up interviews, some of those doubters said they believe their own eyes as they've watched thermometers rise, New York City subway tunnels flood, polar ice melt and Midwestern farm fields dry up.
