Who cares about science and facts?

When even the BBC asks What happened to global warming,  when there's been no increase in warming for the past 11 years despite a great increase in man made CO2,  when the leader of Greenpeace admits the organization put out fake global warming data about disappearing Arctic ice,  when the  premise of runaway global warming depends on the  'hockey stick' graph first published in Nature and then by the PCC that turns out to be based on scientific fraud, do you think our esteemed Congress might want to get more facts before imposing cap and trade taxes to be paid by everyone who consumes energy that some call the largest tax increase in American history in the midst of a recession?

I didn't think so either.

Of course none of this matters. Even the eleven years of non-warming the BBC reports is irrelevant. The science itself is unimportant.  Not even twenty years of freezing winters would cool the ardor of activists.  There are too many political careers and too much money riding on the Truth of Global Warming for that train to be canceled. We’ve got to get aboard whether we like it not.
