The Belief That CO2 Can Regulate Climate Is “Sheer Absurdity” | Power Line.
Polar bear populations are increasing
Please read the whole article, but the money quote for me is this:
Puls: Climate change is normal. There have always been phases of climate warming, many that even far exceeded the extent we see today. But there hasn’t been any warming since 1998. In fact the IPCC suppliers of data even show a slight cooling.
As if we needed more evidence that the current administration is utterly ignorant of the reality of the global energy situation, and its effect on average Americans. Please follow the link and read the article.
‘Hot Mic’ Admittedly Not As Hot As Conservative Women, Yet Still Toasty : The Other McCain.
You have to love R.S. McCain’s headlines. It is astounding that hacks like Rachel Maddow can continue to cover for the utter incompetence of Barack Obama. What he said, in essence, is that once the election is over, and he feels that he no longer has to answer to American voters, Barack Obama will be more than happy to sell out U.S. national security interests in order to make “peace” with Russia. There is no real way to defend such a statement.

I’m sure this will come as a shock to the tens of viewers of Olbermann’s show on Current TV.
Zero Emissions, Really?
You just can’t say it often enough, “there ain’t no free lunch“. I am very happy that Nissan has chosen to build the Leaf in Middle Tennessee, but facts are stubborn things. When any Tennessean needs to “fill up” his or her Leaf, Chevy Volt, or any other plug-in electric car, the chances are great that the battery will be recharged by one of the TVA’s big ol’ coal-fired electric plants.
The reviews for the Leaf have been mixed, but overall positive. Individuals I have spoken to who have test driven the Leaf give it good marks for acceleration and handling. However, as the Edmunds. com review points out, anyone who purchases a Leaf will have to be able to live with some compromises. Among these are the tiny trunk for even a small hatchback, and the fact that the owner must buy and install a home charging station.
I think I can speak for the majority of Americans when I say that, even though I appreciate the ingenuity that has gone into the latest generation of electric cars, I am just not ready to give up the gas hog. Maybe when gasoline finally crosses the five dollar per gallon level, I may rethink my position. That doesn’t mean that I want GM or Nissan to falsely claim that these cars produce zero emissions, because the energy to power them has to come from somewhere.
Buffett’s Bank of America | Washington Free Beacon.
Warren Buffett’s investment in the Obama administration seems to be paying dividends.
Oh my: Majorities of liberal Democrats now support drone strikes, keeping Gitmo open « Hot Air.
Unbelievable! So, it’s OK for a Democrat president to have unprecedented war powers, but not for a Republican?
At a time when new car sales are as high as they have been in some time, Chevy dealers are resisting GM’s determination to foist the electric vehicle on a car buying public that clearly doesn’t want it. I wonder if all of the Volts have been sold to quasi-government organizations? The only Volt I have seen in person apparently belongs to TVA, as it sits in the Summer Place parking garage most days, connected to its charging station.
Iran, the U.S. and the Strait of Hormuz Crisis | STRATFOR.
As U.S. and European nations step up sanctions against Iran, the Iranian regime once again threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway that is vital to oil shipping from the Middle East. Despite the fact that the aircraft carrier U.S.S Abraham Lincoln entered the Strait without incident, the area is still a strategic choke point that has the potential to be shut down, which would disrupt world oil supplies and lead to skyrocketing oil prices.
