The TPA legislation, agreed to by Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and ranking Democrat Ron Wyden D-Ore., plus Ryan, now chairman of House Ways and Means, would require the administration to keep Congress informed on the specifics of the negotiations.

EPA has also issued 588 pages of rules for hydraulic fracturing for critically needed oil and natural gas, while the Obama Administration has vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline and made 95% of all publicly owned (but government controlled) energy resources unavailable for leasing, exploration, drilling and mining. | 0_0 |
Hence the temptation in certain quarters to reify this temporary disconnect into a Mars/Venus gap. But the most cursory examination of twentieth-century history shows that transatlantic time lags have always been the rule rather than the exception. The First World War began in 1914, the U.S. only joined in 1917. The Se... | 0_0 |

Now, as Ive mentioned before, as much as 75% of this big, bad greenhouse effect is short-circuited by convective heat loss by the surface, which is almost entirely a daytime phenomenon over land (nighttime surface temperatures quickly cool the near-surface air to make it convectively stable). (And, just for completenes... | 0_0 |

The expansion took place mostly during the 1960s.

Of greatest interest to us are Bard and Frank's conclusions about sub-orbital time scales, i.e., the first three of their four major focal points.

Of course, we have also had a nice chat about environmentalism and climate change.

Do you remember? They said it would be mild and damp, and between one degree and one and a half degrees warmer than average. Well, I am now 46 and that means I have seen more winters than most people on this planet, and I can tell you that this one is a corker. | 0_0 |
This tight statement implies at least one relatively unaccountable third party (other than experts and the public) is actually running the show.

Michael Manns famous hockey stick graph, the ultimate alarmist propaganda poster, has, we hope, finally been laid to rest.

Free energy sounds good. Saving energy makes people feel good. But the costs of these sound-good, feel-good policies penalize those who can least afford ittrapping them in a life of government dependence. Since we do not have an energy shortage, maybe that is the goal of all of these energy-saving policies, after all. | 4_1 |
