Written by Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog | 02 September 2010

CO2scorecard.org has released a report (PDF) showing that different sources arrive at sometimes very different estimates of carbon dioxide emissions for different countries. The figure [right] comes from the report and shows various estimates of 2006 US emissions.

The report concludes:

CLIMATE CHANGE: HYPOCRISY OF THE GREEN BULLY

Written by John Triggs, Daily Express | 02 September 2010

One of Pachuari's five unsustainable cars.

RAJENDRA PACHAURI has a chauffeur, lives in luxury and jets across the world on his quest to ban Sunday roasts and cheap flights. Now he's accused of exaggerating the climate change crisis.

MOST mornings he is driven to work from his £5 million home in a 1.8-litre Toyota Corolla by his personal chauffeur, as befits his status as director-general of a New Delhi research institute employing more than 700 staff.

James Lee's Awakening: A lesson in the dangers of extremist rhetoric

Written by JAMES TARANTO, Wall Street Journal | 02 September 2010

D'oh!

The other day Stanley Fish, writing on the New York Times website, tried to draw a parallel between the 9/11 atrocity and the stabbing of New York cabdriver Ahmed Sharif:

It is wrong, we hear, to regard the proposed [Ground Zero] mosque or community center as an ordinary exercise of free enterprise and freedom of religion by the private owners of a piece of property. It is, rather, a thumb in the eye or a slap in the face of the 9/11 victims and their families, a potential clearinghouse for international terrorist activities, a "victory mosque" memorializing a great triumph of jihad and a monument to the religion in whose name and by whose adherents the dreadful deed was done.

Cracks in Climate Change Onslaught Appear

Written by John McLaughlin, American Thinker | 02 September 2010

sea level rise For those of us who view the concept of man-made global warming as one of the greatest hoaxes in history, two events this week give some hope that the international "climate change" juggernaut may eventually be halted.

The UK Daily Express and the New York Times report that the InterAcademy Council (IAC), a multinational organization of science academies assembled to produce independent analyses on major scientific, technological, and health issues, has released a 113-page critical assessment of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Settle down greens: Things are getting better thanks to capitalism

Written by Max Borders, Washington Examiner | 02 September 2010

Now most of my green friends aren’t taking hostages at television studios. But many of them have read their Daniel Quinn, which is - as my friend Ron Bailey describes it - “Malthusian Twaddle.”

And most greens think the world is going to hell in a hand basket. When I throw away a plastic bottle, they look at me like I just shot a spotted owl. It’s almost pathological.

Stop the Hysteria

Written by Thomas Fuller, via Watts up with that? | 02 September 2010

Joe Romm, center, fueling the flames of doom and catastrophe.

After the tragic events in Maryland on Wednesday of this week, where a man took three hostages and tried to make The Discovery Channel a vehicle for publishing his manifesto, there have been accusations and counter accusations in the global warming world about taking advantage of this to advance political goals.

Two Crazy Greens

Written by Alan Caruba, Warning Signs | 02 September 2010

Dr. John P. Holdren

For a few hours on Wednesday the nation’s attention was on James J. Lee who took hostages at the Discovery Communications headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Negotiations failed to sway him from his mission or free his hostages. Lee was a Green zealot and police were left with no alternative than to shoot Lee dead.

Meltdown of the climate 'consensus'

Written by MATT PATTERSON, NY Post | 02 September 2010

Pachauri: UN scored big grants for silly science If this keeps up, no one's going to trust any scientists.

The global-warming establishment took a body blow this week, as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received a stunning rebuke from a top-notch independent investigation.

For two decades, the IPCC has spearheaded efforts to convince the world's governments that man-made carbon emissions pose a threat to the global temperature equilibrium -- and to civilization itself. IPCC reports, collated from the work of hundreds of climate scientists and bureaucrats, are widely cited as evidence for the urgent need for drastic action to "save the planet."

Al Gore's Poison

Wednesday, a gun wielding, bomb toting, eco-terrorist-who claimed to have been "awakened" by Al Gore's Oscar winning film, An Inconvenient Truth-was shot and killed by police after holding several people hostage inside the Discovery Channel headquarters in Maryland.

Sadly, it's not the first incident of someone going berserk after taking in Gore's work.

An Inconvenient Extremist

Written by Kenneth Spitz, American Thinker | 02 September 2010

Can the "violent extremists are only found on the right" stereotype finally be put to rest?

James Jay Lee, an environmental activist and self-described "world guardian", was shot and killed in a hostage standoff. Mr. Lee entered the headquarters of The Discovery Channel in Silver Spring, Maryland with a handgun and canisters resembling explosives strapped to his body. Thankfully, Lee's three hostages were not harmed.
