When testing data, it is obviously possible to take two approaches: a) Select a data set and use only that data set or b) Use a collection of all data thought reliable by practitioners. I prefer the second approach. As I see it, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach are as follows: | 0_0 |

Mills also notes that today's global warming policies are a replay of 1970s "energy crisis" policies.

Whatever the crisis du jour whethe... | 0_0 |

There is, of course, a lot of interest in whether the warm temperatures this summer were associated with global warming. It does not appear so. The warming was caused by anomalous high pressure over the eastern Pacific last fall and there is no reason to believe that has anything to do with warming the planet from the ... | 2_1 |

The CEIP is an early action credit program. By "early," EPA means the CEIP authorizes states to award regulatory credits for new renewable power provided before the CPP compliance period (2022-2030). EPA will, in addition, award up to 300 million tons worth of extra credits to "early actors' on a matching basis. | 0_0 |

One of the key features of Hansen??s global warming theory is that the polar regions are supposed to warm much faster than the rest of the planet.

There are two groups in the climate debate: those who believe human CO 2 is causing global warming/climate change and those who dont, respectively labeled Warmists and Skeptics.
