#1 Mr. Karl has been accused of politicizing a government (CCSP) report on temperature trends. His role in the CRU emails (climategate) has not been fully explored.

#2 No mention of the emails, forged and bludgeoned data.

Most atmospheric scientists believe that warming is largely due to human actions

I suspect that this is a flat-out lie by the AP.

#5 Also known as global warming, climate change has drawn widespread concern in recent years as temperatures around the world rise, threatening to harm crops, spread disease, increase sea levels, change storm and drought patterns and cause polar melting.

Don't forget to throw in the plague of locusts and all other maladies know to man--Except the data was fudged; the scientific process was corrupted in favor of the political process. G-d almighty; just what we need another frigging governmental agency (sarc).

#6 Here is a link to all the things that have been blamed on global warming.

#8 Since Cap 'n' Trade 'n' Steal is dead in congress, this is a blatant effort to do it all through presidential fiat. Not laws, but regulations with the same effect. And since new regs can be declared almost instantly, even if hundreds are thrown out in court, they can be instantly replaced with new, even harsher ones. Then wait two years for the next court hearing.

#9 We need a global warming Czar and a global cooling Czar, so that at any one time one of them has to be right.

#13 Did the author write this with a straight face? Does he think his readers are completely unaware of the string of scandals surrounding AGW "science"? You wonder why the MSM is dying.
