“The coming cooling of the planet overall will return it to where it was in the '60s, '70s, and '80s.” Quote by Joe Bastardi
“When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.” YearsLooksShowsEarthPastRecordsGenerationsDataOfficialsGlobal WarmingShockScarePanicJustifiedFuture GenerationTemperature Author:Christopher Booker
“When I first began examining the global-warming scare, I found nothing more puzzling than the way officially approved scientists kept on being shown to have finagled their data, as in that ludicrous "hockey stick" graph, pretending to prove that the world had suddenly become much hotter than at any time in 1,000 years. Any theory needing to rely so consistently on fudging the evidence, I concluded, must be looked on not as science at all, but as simply a rather alarming case study in the aberrations of group psychology.” WorldWayYearsFirstsFoundCasesStudyPsychologyGroupsTheoryProveEvidenceScientistSticksDataRelyGlobal WarmingHockeyPretendingScareConsistentlyApprovedExaminingAberrationPuzzlingHotterGraphsCase StudiesHockey Sticks Author:Christopher Booker

“So confident am I that the number of deaths from violent storms will continue to decline that I challenge Mr. McKibben - or Al Gore, Paul Krugman, or any other climate-change doomsayer - to put his wealth where his words are. I'll bet $10,000 that the average annual number of Americans killed by tornadoes, floods and hurricanes will fall over the next 20 years. Specifically, I'll bet that the average annual number of Americans killed by these violent weather events from 2011 through 2030 will be lower than it was from 1991 through 2010.” YearsFallNextChallengesWealthNumbersEventsClimateClimate ChangeAverageStormViolentWeatherAlsDeclineFloodHurricanesGoreAnnualsTornadoes Author:Donald J.

“Voluntary actions by corporations should not go beyond innovative win - win 'no regrets' initiatives. Greenhouse gas control practices that are uneconomic penalize either consumers or stockholders while politicizing the issue of corporate responsibility.

“On the science of global climate change, I'm an agnostic. I've seen Al Gore's movie, and I've read reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I've also listened to the 'skeptics.'

“... the job [at the Manhattan Institute] gives me a platform where I can focus on the themes that I explored in both Gusher of Lies and Power Hungry: that the myths about "green" energy are largely just that, myths; that hydrocarbons are here to stay; and that if we are going to pursue the best "no regrets" policy with regard to energy, then we should be avidly promoting natural gas and nuclear energy.” IfsGivingShouldI CanJobsLyingEnergyNaturalFocusPolicyRegretGive MeRegardGreenMythNuclearHungryPursueThemeGasPlatformsPromotingManhattanNo RegretsInstituteNatural GasNuclear EnergyGreen EnergyPower HungryHydrocarbons Author:Robert Bryce
