"... [T]he Viscount Monckton of Brenchley

has calculated that Energy Secretary Chu’s modest proposal to paint all the world’s roads and rooftops white would cost $17 trillion this century, and would cut global temperature by just 0.2 Fahrenheit degrees..."

Yeah riiiight, like I'm gonna believe that dude can do math. Not.

Also, apparently he did this calculation per Rush Limbaugh's request.

Global cooling is here!

And I got proof.

Every spring [starts in February] I foolishly plant little pots of herbs and sometimes even boxes of flowers. Every summer [starts in April] they all die of heatstroke. In 2005 and 2006, the plants were all dead by sometime in May. This year they made it to mid-June.

QED


All is not quiet on the western front. The global warming deniers [skeptics! call us skeptics!] are having kitten fits over Sharon Begley's Newsweek article The Truth About Denial. We've mostly known all this before, but she gathers it all up into one neat general-public-friendly package.

For once, it seeems that the illiberal MSM may have bowed to lefty pressure to give equal time to the dark green side. Cool.


NB Amy Ridenour, conservative think tanker, isn't exactly a fan of sane health care policy.
