Today in Biofuels Opinion: “The science is stacking up that the globe is not warming, it is cooling.”

Jeffrey Taylor in LInkedIn: “Global atmospheric temperature reached a peak in 1998, has not warmed since 1995 and, has been cooling since 2002. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that October in the US was marked by 63 record snowfalls and 115 lowest-ever temperatures.” The science is stacking up that the globe is not warming, it is cooling.”

David Roberts, in Gristmill: “The Obama presidency is in a political vise grip, squeezed between two facts: 1.The dire situation described by the fourth IPCC report is, by all indications, an underestimate. We are careening toward catastrophe, and to avoid it we’ll likely have to virtually eliminate U.S. carbon emissions by 2050… 2. There is nothing close to the public or political support necessary to pass the kind of sweeping policies necessary to eliminate America’s emissions…By and large climate change is still viewed as a nagging, marginal, far-off problem to be addressed to the extent (and only to the extent) that it doesn’t cause any economic dislocation.
