Is hot air a greenhouse gas? Or just ear pollution?

They talked global warming down in Australia. All those leaders from the U.S., China, Japan, Russia, host-nation Australia, Indonesia and fifteen other nations agreed that they aspire to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Boy, that's reassuring. These leaders didn't do anything radical, like promise to do anything. ...

Has Chamber become a Chamber of Horrors for its members?

There's an essay coming out in one of those MSM pubs that wll stir even more anger and argument over the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's political stance via-a-vis federal action or inaction on global warming. I've blogged about this before, most recently when Apple left the Chamber over its...

Newton was right: Apple finds gravity...in climate change

So Apple has dropped out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It's the fifth American corporation to openly disagree with the Chamber's aggressive, well-funded campaigning to kill any federal legislation on greenhouse gas emissions. None of the other corporate dissenters have been tech firms. The "Wall Street Journal" refers...

Lawsuit alert: carbon wars are set to begin

I actually heard one political analyst today say that "nobody" wants the EPA to single-handedly deal with greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. By that I presume this MSM reporter means nobody with lots of power or money in Washington. All sides want to see Congress weigh-in....
