You have to ‘do it quietly without everybody knowing what you’re doing’. Sounds like what Obama and the Democrats were trying to do before their ‘shellacking’ in November.

The public doubt about global warming has been increasing in recent years given Climategate, and how promises of warm snowless winters failed. After cold and snowy winters in 2007/08 and 2008/09, the winter of 2009/10 was the coldest ever in parts of the southeast, and in parts of Siberia and the coldest since 1977/78 or 1962/63 in many parts of the United States, Europe and Asia. This past December was the second coldest in the entire Central England Temperature record extending back to 1659. It was the coldest ever December in diverse locations like Ireland, Sweden, and Florida. Reluctantly, alarmists changed their tune and the promise of warm and snowless winters as recent as 4 years ago morphed into global warming means cold and snowy winters.

The amount of money being spent on climate change research this year is astounding.

Patrick Moore, co-founder of the environmental organization Greenpeace, isn’t too hot about global warming. Appearing on Fox Business Network with Stuart Varney on Thursday, he said global warming is a “natural phenomenon,” there’s no proof of man-made global warming, and suggested that “alarmism” is driving politicians to create bad environmental policies. He also said he’s not the only environmentalist that believes like he does. Moore is the author of the book, “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist,” in which he exposes the green movement and explains why he left the organization. While talking with Varney, he explained that departure was in part due to the group’s “extremist positions” and it being hijacked by political and social causes of the left.

Sen. John Barrasso, a doctor from Wyoming, discusses the Republican promise to repeal and replace President Obama’s misguided, unpopular health care law. “Thanks to the vote in the House of Representatives, we are now one step closer to victory in the fight for a health care policy that puts Americans first — not Washington. Our job won’t be done until we repeal and replace this bad law.”

From the light bulb ban to billions in ‘green’ subsidies GE has proven itself to be the best at milking the government cow. Hats off to the king of crony capitalism, Jeff , we’re all Democrats now, Immelt for his appointment to Obama’s economic campaign payoff committee. After all, GE closed its last US light bulb plant and will create or save thousands of Chinese jobs making the new poisonous CFLs.

States with renewable energy mandates average 38% higher electricity rates for consumers with some like New York paying double.

“Throughout the country, 90 percent of cities and states are going to go bankrupt within the next five years, many of them sooner.” So says former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan. Reason.tv’s Tim Cavanaugh sat down with Riordan to discuss state and local budget crises, public-sector unions, and why Riordan recently became a fan of current LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

What could cause an economic collapse in 2011? Well, unfortunately there are quite a few “nightmare scenarios” that could plunge the entire globe into another massive financial crisis.

President Reagan stated in 1987: “[W]e must not ignore the obvious intent of the First Amendment, which is to promote vigorous public debate and a diversity of viewpoints in the public forum as a whole. …” Brady and the other would-be speech gatekeepers are putting crosshairs on the Bill of Rights. That’s something that really should be stopped.
