India's Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh

Why India's environment minister doesn't like Al Gore's approach to global warming.

Climate-change Cassandras are prone to warning that unless governments take draconian action to limit carbon emissions, the world will suffer grievously and the poor will be hardest hit. Yet here in India, home to more poor people than any other country, a left-of-center government is sounding less than convinced by these prophets of doom, to say nothing of their prescriptions for salvation.

Soros and his relationship with the DoE made clear in emails.

Emails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that the Obama Department of Energy is using the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) — the lobbying arm of “Big Wind” in the U.S. — to coordinate political responses with two strongly ideological activist groups: the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), and the George Soros funded Center for American Progress (CAP).

green boondoggle

The state's nonpartisan legislative analyst's office says the losses could occur in the short term. State Sen. David Cogdill uses the report to criticize climate regulation.

Debate over the economic effects of California's first-in-the-nation global warming law flared this week, with a report saying short-term job losses can be expected.

The possibility of suspending California's Global Warming Solutions Act, a law unlikely to change temperatures but certain to wreak economic havoc, appears to have increased dramatically.

Two large Texas-based refineries have pledged as much as $2 million to pay for signature-gathering to place an initiative on the November ballot that would suspend the global warming law if passed by voters, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing Sacramento sources.

John Kerry: Wind Breaker!
John Kerry: Wind Breaker!

In an already challenging election year for the majority, Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) rush to pass a climate change bill has many Democrats scratching their heads and charging that their 2004 presidential nominee could further imperil vulnerable Members this fall.

Climate change had been considered all but dead this year, and Senate Democrats have little appetite to take up the controversial issue after the beating that they have endured over their as-yet-unfinished health care reform efforts.

The greatest scandal connected to global warming is not exaggeration, fraud or destruction of data to conceal the weakness of the argument. It is those who are personally profiting from promoting this fantasy at the expense of the rest of us.

The comment is absolutely wrong because by far the greatest scandal is the continued political exploitation, fraud and destruction of the economy.

Connie Hedegaard, Danish minister

The world will almost certainly fail to draw up a new treaty on climate change this year, the minister in charge of last year’s Copenhagen summit has admitted, delivering a heavy blow to the barely flickering hopes for a swift global ­settlement.

Connie Hedegaard, the Danish minister who masterminded the summit of world leaders on global warming last year and is now the European commissioner for climate change, told the Financial Times negotiations were not progressing fast enough for a treaty to be signed soon.

News of the meltdown in the “global warming” propaganda movement was featured on the front page of the Times last week, but has yet to trickle down to the Home & Garden section last Friday. Not even a benign-sounding story by Kate Murphy, “Shifting Soil Threatens Homes’ Foundations,” was free of unsubstantiated environmental alarmism:

Politicians the world over are developing cases of cold feet on expensive global-warming pledges. Now reality is sinking in even in Japan.

The Japanese government had set a self-imposed deadline of last Friday to submit a cap-and-trade plan for legislative consideration, but had to delay since the cabinet has yet to agree on the details. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama ran for office last year on a pledge to reduce national carbon emissions by 25% from their 1990 levels by 2020.

The bitterly contested fight in Washington over global warming and pollution is also taking hold at the state level.

The Environmental Protection Agency, which is threatening to regulate carbon emissions if Congress won’t, is facing legal heat from states that say new regulations will kill jobs at the worst possible time.

U.S. Senator John Rockefeller introduced legislation on Thursday to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from cracking down on carbon dioxide pollution from coal-fired power plants and other stationary sources for two years.

The Obama administration has long maintained that the EPA would move independently to reduce greenhouse gases blamed for global warming if Congress failed to produce its own climate legislation.
