Take two weeks off and do some serious research of results of recent research programs! Did you know that 1934 has been declared the hottest in USA history since records began? Further, four of the top ten hottest years in the USA occurred in the 1930's while only three of the hottest years occurred in the last decade. This results from a study of errors in the data collection system and resultant corrections.

And in other news, the sun rose in the east this morning, a dog barked at a squirrel this afternoon, and another study confirmed the moon is not made of green cheese. Film at 11. Best, D AEI denies man-made climate change.

It seems a common characteristic for many modern climate skeptics to cite the IPCC's conclusions as authority for the points that they believe support their arguments, but dismiss the IPCC’s conclusions for points that do not support their arguments.

Why is this delusional, dangerous and just plain wrong speech permitted? Do we not live on a world that is vulnerable to toxic poisoning? If carbon pollution must be curtailed, shouldn't also dangerous speech? I leave it to others to quibble about how, and what, and the rights, and all the crowded theaters. This is dangerous behavior and we know it. If a man invites my children to play with fire, and to ignore poison labels -- how should I treat that behavior ?
