My interest in global warming and energy policy is so great I launched http://www.energyplanusa.com. I've waded through the wellspring of man-made global warming theory, the United Nation's IPCC reports, and conclude they lack the 'smoking gun' that proves global warming is man-made. The reports are jargoned-up and rely heavily on computer models that have not proven terribly prescient (similar, I'm afraid, to the ones that predicted the American economy was a perpetual motion machine). Most importantly man-made global warming theory ignores the fact that the earth cooled from the 1940s to 1970s, when CO2 was on the increase. It also ignores evidence from reliable studies. For instance, it's widely understood that the globe was warmer 1,000 years ago, when CO2 levels were normal, then it is today. Then, Vikings grew grapes in New Foundland and even named it Vinland. There are many examples of the Medieval Warming period, plus Roman Warming period, that need to be reconciled–not ignored–by man-made global warming proponents if they want me back in the fold.

I'm dismayed that my own party, the Democrats, the thinkers, have turned a scientific issue into religious zealotry where faith trumps facts. I'm also dismayed that the American press seems content with publishing hearsay, without backing up conclusions and presumptions with facts and evidence. Please, help me get at the truth. If anyone can provide the C02 smoking gun, I'd be greatly indebted.

Climate changes more extreme than we saw in the 20th century have occurred before humans started causing CO2 levels to rise. Don’t be fooled, the disaster predictions are wrong.

Massive savings in the health sector, a more productive workforce is a healthy workforce. It will be great for global cooperation with the US on all sorts of other issues. Fantastic decision.

I for one am celebrating this move by the EPA.
