"You would think that someone who is so sensitive about people criticizing or defaming himself, that he would be very careful about defaming and insulting others.

All of the above addresses the two issues mentioned at the beginning. First, global climate models on average depict a relationship between the surface and upper air that is different than that observed, i.e. models depict an amplifying factor into the upper air that is greater than observed. Secondly, the average clim... | 5_1 |

To mention just one flaw, Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, the CPP's putative statutory basis, authorizes EPA to regulate "particular" "stationary sources," not the wider marketplace, networked industry, or sector of which a source happens to be a part.

Whilst there is a general hysteria of global warming, increasing temperature and rising sea level, new records from Antarctica indicate the opposite: a significant increase in the extent of sea ice over the last 30 years (in the order of 1 million square km) and a decrease in sea surface temperature south of Lat. 60S (... | 1_1 |

Britain may have enough offshore shale gas to catapult it into the top ranks of global producers, energy experts now believe, and while production costs are still very high, new U.S. technology should eventually make reserves commercially viable. | 4_5 |
The world has warmed 0.05 degrees Celsius (0.09 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade over the past 15 years, a fraction of the 0.2C (0.36F) per decade rate confidently predicted by the U.N. six years ago, according to a leaked copy of the foremost climate report in the world. | 5_1 |

Evidence is quickly mounting against the idea that Antarctic melt will contribute to global sea level rise during the 21st century. In fact, the real debate might be concerning the degree to which an increase in mass balance on Antarctica will counterbalance melt elsewhere across Earth. | 1_1 |
