Global Warming Hysteria: Partay! in Cancun Posted: 01 Dec 2010 01:19 PM PST This is why people hate the UN, its bureaucratic functionaries, and the swarms of NGO camp followers that attend international "problem solving" conferences: In a follow up to the Copenhagen debacle, GWHs may have flown from all over the world to Cancun, Mexico, to fight AGW–spewing carbon all the way.  But the prospective death of the planet doesn't mean they couldn't partay! {youtube}q83CQ_7CGCg{/youtube}

Cancun vs. Copenhagen: Have the Media Forgotten About Global Warming? Posted: 01 Dec 2010 12:58 PM PST Crickets chirping That's the sound you would hear if you were looking for any sort of broadcast media coverage on site at the 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference going on now in Cancun. A survey of the broadcast networks over the week leading up to the Cancun event and two days into it shows it hasn't even been mentioned on any of the evening news broadcasts, morning shows or Sunday morning public affairs programming.

“Snow is consistent with global warming, say scientists” Posted: 01 Dec 2010 07:36 AM PST This should make Santa happy at least. Everything is consistent with global warming, including changing the past – whenever necessary. "Even though this is quite a cold winter by recent standards it is still perfectly consistent with predictions for global warming," said Dr Myles Allen, head of the Climate Dynamics group at Department of Physics, University of Oxford. "If it wasn't for global warming this cold snap would happen much more regularly. What is interesting is that we are now surprised by this kind of weather. I doubt we would have been in the 1950s because it was much more common.

She says environmentalists need to seek smaller, specific victories. "If we talk electric cars," she says, "people find that appealing."

CO2 is Sustenance for Seaweed Posted: 01 Dec 2010 07:20 AM PST Seaweed salad Americans continue to fall in love with sushi—even the smallest towns far away from metropolitan areas somehow are providing tasty bits of sushi to local customers. Sushi has gone from upscale and trendy to a popular and substantial component of American's food intake. From fast food sushi to high-end restaurants to sushi at the ballpark, sushi is now everywhere!

Another Carbon Dioxide Summit Failure, This Time At Cancun, Not Copenhagen Posted: 01 Dec 2010 07:15 AM PST 'Cancun" doesn't rhyme with "Copenhagen."
