And, over the last decade, lavishly supported by federal tax policy and handouts guided to it by the powerful Massachusetts Congressional delegation led by Markey, Dow expanded its "green" product line.

So what does this mean for the IPCC? The IPCC derives its authority from the UN, which can certainly proceed without financial support from the U.S., should the U.S. Senate actually vote in support of the House resolution.

But we needn't look only at the coal numbers. Last year, according to the BP report, global oil use grew by about 900,000 barrels per day and natural-gas use by about 700,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Thus, in one year, global hydrocarbon consumption increased by about 3.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per... | 0_0 |

Segment 1 covers the basic issue of the bad science behind the global warming frenzy. We explain the hypothesis of your carbon footprint, the result of the co2 that enters the atmosphere as a result of burning of fossil fuels to support your lifestyle. We show how that theory has failed to verify and proven wrong. | 0_0 |
In sum, most of the contributors to the RegBlog series on regulatory capture overlooked the fact that ideological special interests, no less than industry, are capable of unduly influencing administrative agencies.

He's right of course. For the zillionth time, weather and climate are two entirely different things.
