Junk Science: Global Warming’s Trillion-Dollar Turkey

A trillion dollars doesn’t buy what it used to — at least when it comes to global warming, according to a new analysis from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Last July, this column reported that the latest global warming bill — the Low Carbon Economy Act of 2007, introduced by Sens. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. and Arlen Specter, R-Pa. — would cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion in its first 10 years and untold trillions of dollars in subsequent decades.

This week, the EPA sent its analysis of the bill’s impact on climate to Bingaman and Specter. Now we can see what we’d get for our money, and we may as well just build a giant bonfire with the cash and enjoy toasting marshmallows over it.

Very disturbing to see Jonathon Hunt today on Fox giving a very misleading account of Polar bear populations, ice caps and global warming. Particularly when he said most scientist agree that its caused by man. Also when he ask if there is any doubt about the science that says the ice glaciers are shrinking. The obvious and given answer was no because in Greenland they are. But the two combined statements made it clear to the casual observer “we are causing it”.

I guess Murdoch is in on the take to.

As a scientist, if you want to get a National Science Foundation grant, your chances will improve dramatically if you can somehow tie it to the “dangers” of global warming, especially if you can claim that “man is responsible.”

This is one of my gripes about "global warming". It has made scientists into politicians, the NSF into a welfare fund for scientists and has produced some really bad science.
