I posted the NY Times article:

Skeptics Find Fault With U.N. Climate Panel ( NY Times says something....)

[BOBTHENAILER]

Republican politicians and conservative activists are launching a ballot campaign to suspend California's landmark global-warming law, in what they hope will serve as a showcase for a national backlash against climate regulations.

YES, YES, and MORE YES. This is absolutely perfect. Shove that gorebull warming right up their 98deg methane excretory orifices.

Then tell 'em if they STFU and quit beathing, it will slow the CO2 emissions.

AH CRAP-——most of the comments made me ill.
AB 118 would have been a killer. Now CA will pay through the nose for AB 32. Disgusting

KFI is always running a good campaign....

Listening to them at the moment...

Talking about the IPCC report,, and Jerry Brown , Arnold,...and the funny board we have out here....

We are the only state campaigning to stop Global Warming .....

Talking about Lawrence Solomon author of The Deniers

and something he wrote an article in a Canadian paper...not sure which....listing things found ....

Much of the content came from Green Advocacy groups who then were also reviewers....of the IPCC report.

Beyond the Himalayas (descriptions of 9 IPCC controversies)

National Post [Canada] ^ | Saturday, February 6, 2010 | Lawrence Solomon

What caused a fall from grace so sudden that IPCC’s insiders now demand Pachauri’s ouster, and that leads the Indian government to set up an “Indian IPCC” as a national alternative to the IPCC, declaring that it “cannot rely” any longer on the organization that its own representative heads?

One answer is Climategate — the unauthorized release of emails in November that showed the duplicity of scientists associated with the IPCC. Unquestionably, Climategate opened the floodgates to the torrent of scandals that have since poured out, seemingly without end. Many of the new scandals, some of them sporting “-gate” as a suffix, were little known before the Climategate emails were released; many were well known, but not publicized by a compliant press. Their sheer number deserves cataloguing.

More WWF: The IPCC’s reliance on the World Wildlife Fund as an authority in Glaciergate was no anomaly. Blogger Donna Laframboise thought to do a search on the IPCC’s own site of “WWF” and found it turned up dozens of times, and was a source on everything from mudflows and avalanches to fish in the Mesoamerican reef.

Greenpeace et al.: Ms. Framboise then checked out Greenpeace and found that this advocacy organization, too, was an IPCC source. For example, Greenpeace’s report, The Pacific in Peril, was the sole source for a claim that linked global warming to coral reef degradation. On a roll, she then found that members of other advocacy organizations, such as people from David Suzuki Foundation, Environmental Defense and Friends of the Earth were among the IPCC’s “expert reviewers.”....

The funny board is CARB....California Air Resource Board....Mary Nichols,,,,is strong arming businesses to oppose any attempts to stop the AB118 bill...guess that happened...and I thought there was mention of a referendum ....

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

MoonBeam Brown apparently went on a San Francisco Radio Station yesterday and basically spoke out against anyone who opposes the Bill to attack Global Warming Causes....
