Significantly, ?the President offers no suitable replacement for the lost generating capacity beyond pointing toward wind and solar which is not up to the task.?

One wonders how familiar the 240 authors of the 2013 draft National Assessment are with Karl Popper's famous essay on the nature of science and its distinction from "pseudoscience."

Many empirical relationships have been reported between GCR or cosmogenic isotope archives and some aspects of the climate system (e.g., Bond et al., 2001; Dengel et al., 2009; Ram and Stolz, 1999).

The even bigger problem is that lowering U.S. emissions is, itself, far from risk-free, and Mr. Paulson's plea for a carbon tax exemplifies the problem.
